Sorry for the delay. This is extremely strange and have never seen anything like this before. I’m going to try to reproduce the issue tomorrow.
The upgrade is necessary as it has some important rcio-dkms updates.
Right after you install our Raspbian image.This is going to tell us the voltage on the board. If this is lower than 4.5 I suspect you need to just use another cable.
DISCLAIMER
DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU REALLY WANT TO START RIGHT AWAY BEFORE WE GET TO THE BOTTOM OF THE PROBLEM.
You might be okay just updating the specified package by sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade rcio-dkms.
