Provisioning state not displayed with USB hub

[WalterPrech]

I use a Raspberry Pi 5 (bookworm) and the rpi-sb-provisioner (version 2.1.1) to provision a custom image to a CM5.

If I use a USB cable directly connected between Rasbperry Pi 5 and CM5, all works well and the different provisioning states (e.g. bootstrap-firmware-updated, Triage-Started, Naked-Provisioner-Finished) are displayed at the 'Devices' tab in the WebGui.

If I extend the scenario and use an USB hub, the ports of the hub are recognized and displayed in the WebGui.

If I connect one or multiple CM5 to the USB hub, the provisioning work - at least all CM5 have the image installed -, but no states are displayed.

So it's difficult to recognize, which provisioning is ready and which not. You need to wait, until all 'Services' reach the completed status.

So I understand - the issue is that on the map view, you don't get state information for devices connected via a USB hub?

[WalterPrech]

Yes. In mass production, a worker without special knowledge should be able to tell whether provisioning for a device is finished, to connect a new one.

We do the same. We use a USB hub. And this view is unchanging when provisioning devices:
