How to get rid of ghost USB devices

Fri May 12, 2017 7:26 am

Hi there,

Is there a way for me to clear out ghost USB devices? I see devices lingering around in system resource USB after they've been plugged out. It's even possible to have two identical copies of the same device in the USB list (based on serial number, device id and vendor id) just on different ports. This is on the RB922.

Answering my own question after support gave me the answer: It's possible to clear ghost USB devices by doing a power-reset on the USB port. However it may be necessary to reset bus 2 even though the device shows that it is on bus 1 and vice versa.
