Direct PCIe evidence
Debug the controller’s PCIe side first.
StarTech Four-controller USB 5Gbps card is a PCIe host controller. The workbench can inspect its host connection while USB peripherals, power delivery and port behavior remain separate checks.
- Confirm the required slot, auxiliary power, motherboard headers and firmware support. Identify the controller’s PCI address on the Linux host.
- Import its collector JSON into the workbench. Review enumeration, driver binding, resources and current versus maximum PCIe link values.
- If relevant errors appear, add the controller’s AER or IOMMU log lines and compare a known-good capture. Test downstream ports and peripherals with their supported operating-system tools.
Header7F inspects PCIe evidence. It does not enumerate USB devices, negotiate USB4/Thunderbolt authorization, test power delivery or certify a cable’s data rate.
