I am using an orangepizero3 and trying to boot from spi flash and then a usb3 SSD on usb-1 port, which is usb2. U-boot does not detect the usb3 SSD drive.

I have been booting Armbian regularly from an old usb2 hard disk drive in the same way.

After Armbian starts the usb3 SSD drive is detected by the os and works properly in the os. Some console log output below shows the issue.

Has anyone experienced this?
