Overview

This is a driver-free 3 ports USB 3.2 Gen1 Hub HAT for Raspberry Pi, also with a Gigabit Ethernet port, provides more USB/network capability to your Pi, make it easy to connect more USB devices and network devices.

The HAT features a standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO extension header, when working with Raspberry Pi 4, the USB 3.2 Gen1 ports is able to provide up to 5 Gbps data rate, which means 10 times faster than USB 2.0.

Features

  • 3 x USB 3.2 Gen1 ports, compatible with USB 3.0 / 2.0 /1.1.
  • 1 x Gigabit Ethernet port, 1000M/100M/10M compatible.
  • Onboard external USB-C 5V DC power port, ensures a more stable power supply.
  • 1 x power indicator and 3 x USB port indicators, easy to check the operating status.
  • Driver-free, plug-and-play, compatible with OS including Windows, Mac OS, Linux, and Android.
  • Purpose-made for Raspberry Pi 4, compatible with other Raspberry Pi versions as well.
  • Provide online development resources and manuals.

Expected Result

Take Raspberry Pi 4B as an example

  • Insert the module to 40PIN GPIO of Raspberry Pi 4B. Connect the USB interface of USB HUB to Raspberry Pu by the USB 3.0 Adapter.
  • Connect 5V power supply to the POWER ONLY port.
  • Connect USB devices to USB ports *USB1~UBS4), the corresponding LED will turn on for indicating.

Working with Raspberry Pi

1. Hardware preparation

  • Raspberry Pi 4B x 1
  • USB 3.2 Gen1 HUB Gigabit ETH HAT x 1
  • USB 3.0 Adapter x 1 (You also use USB3.0 cable)
  • USB 3.0 SSD x 1

2. Configure Rasberry Pi

  • Enter the root directory of Pi:
cd ../..
  • Enter the directory of USB3.0 SSD:
cd media/pi/xxx (xxx is the name of the disk)
  • Free memory:
sudo sh -c "sync && echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"
  • Copy 2G data to the SSD disk.
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test_write count=2000 bs=1024k

FAQ

 Answer:
  • Re-plug the USB cable, and make sure that the connection is normal.
  • Maybe the USb3.0 adapter is broken, please change to another adapter or USB 3.0 cable for a try.


 Answer:
After connecting the HUB with the Raspberry Pi by the USB adapter, the Raspberry Pi can power the HUB. If you connect it to a mobile SSD or other high-power devices, you must provide DC 5V to the Type-C interface of HUB.
