Nope, there are major differences, let's look at the start:
-yocto:
+arch:
-Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1e2d:0065 Cinterion LTE Modem
+Bus 002 Device 004: ID 1e2d:0065 Gemalto M2M GmbH LTE Modem
Ok, this means that for your yocto system you probably do NOT have an
updated hw.ids package installed for lsusb to use to figure out a lot of
different things in text form. Things like:
bLength 18
bDescriptorType 1
- bcdUSB 2.00
- bDeviceClass 239
- bDeviceSubClass 2
- bDeviceProtocol 1
- bMaxPacketSize0 64
- idVendor 0x1e2d
- idProduct 0x0065
+ bcdUSB 3.10
+ bDeviceClass 239 Miscellaneous Device
+ bDeviceSubClass 2 [unknown]
+ bDeviceProtocol 1 Interface Association
+ bMaxPacketSize0 9
+ idVendor 0x1e2d Gemalto M2M GmbH
+ idProduct 0x0065 LTE Modem
Class protocol defintions and the like.
But what's MOST important here is that right away, you see that on your
yocto device you are running at a 2.0 USB speed, not a 3.1 speed, right?
Perhaps that's the problem here? The device looks quite different for
when it is in a 3.1 supported system, with different configurations
possible, and a different length entirely:
Configuration Descriptor:
bLength 9
bDescriptorType 2
- wTotalLength 0x01a9
+ wTotalLength 0x0215
Are you _SURE_ this is the same device? I would suggest getting your
yocto system updated and running at full USB 3 speeds and see if that
fixes the issues here.
hope this helps,
