That's the better-behaved one. Is the JMS576 labeling actually on the chip? (Can you even see the labeling on the chip?) Or is the JMS576 labeling more like overall product marketing labeling? 0x0583 vs. 0x0576 leaves open the possibility of a bad firmware revision in the part? > The enclosure recognized as 0x152d:0x0577 contains a JMS577 chip, > that's the worse-behaved unit.=20 >=20 > It looks like the first two EC-UASP enclosures purchased (which both=20= > work fine on RPi4's) report 152d:1561.

Could you be so lucky as to have (oldest EC-UASP's used on oldest RPi* family): Both 0x152d:0x1561 work with the RPi3B's and: 0x152d:0x0583 and 0x152d:0x0577 work with the RPi4B's?

I actively use a RPi4* EDK2 (UEFI/ACPI) on some=20 FreeBSD RPi4B's. (Other RPi4B's have the FreeBSD U-Boot context instead.) But my usage context is limited so what is supported via ACPI vs. not is not significant for me. I also have patches involved for this usage. There is the FreeBSD port sysutils/edk2 with FLAVOR's for rpi3 and rpi4 (and more). These do not track the specific commits that those teams published based on, using more recent materials generally. Currently, building sysutils/edk2 is broken. My submittal to make it build again has not been applied: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D266404 I've no clue if the RPi3* EDK2 UEFI/DeviceTree problems are just in FreeBSD or not. The EDK2 build supposedly works with various Linux's when DeviceTree is selected instead of ACPI. (The RPi3* UEFI/ACPI is Microsoft specific, not standard --so not appropriate for *BSD or Linux variants. Device Tree needs to be used.) =3D=3D=3D Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com
