Turris Mox Modules A + F
Hi all. The Turris Mox log is filled with these messages. Any ideas on how to address this? I am uncertain how the error is affecting Mox but, the usb ports don’t appear to be reading any sdcard or SSD drive or HDD that connects via usb3. If you have any ideas for testing and isolating this it would be helpful.

Not sure if this addressed best through this user forum instead of contacting the manufacturer’s support; worst case it could be a hardware defect of sorts.
It is not clear whether the message is printed without any USB device connected or only when:
Thanks for the questions. With the power connected to module A, with no devices connected and with a fresh reboot the dmesg log is filling with these messages.
Below I use /var/log/messages while inserting a usb stick. It seems to be recognized and activated despite this over-current problem. Will test further.

With the power connection inserted into module F and inserting a USB stick I get the following.

What is happening with module F?
With power connected to module F the usb stick is recognized by module A.
Some progress to report. With power connected to module F - I get better results. The over current condition is no longer present in logs. Portable hard drives, SD cards etc are recognized. It seems that the problem was related to powering the unit from module A. This matter is closed for the time being.
