Disable USB Power Management for Intel NUC

Hello,

Recently we have been facing problems with USB cameras permanently connected to our Intel NUC’s. We suspect that this issue is due to the USB Power Management suspending ports that are being used. Is there any way to permanently disable the USB Power Management in the kernel?

Thank you,
Lucas

Hello,

According to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/91027/how-to-disable-usb-autosuspend-on-kernel-3-7-10-or-above , the kernel command line option for this is usbcore.autosuspend=-1.
You can edit the grub.cfg file on the boot partition to add this option.
Please note, that this is not something we support and a balenaOS host update will remove it.
Maybe there is a way to set this in the nuc’s bios?
