How do I find compatible PCIe Driver?

naditloa214 · July 13, 2026, 6:57am

I’m working on replacing my Windows 10 OS to Fedora and I’ve hit a snag.

The PCIe I have installed isn’t compatible. Digging up the manual, it has native Windows 8 drivers, and their website only has a Windows driver. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to fix this?

Running lspci, I was able to determine it was 0c:00.0 USB controller: Renesas Electronics Corp. uPD720202 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 02), and I already downloaded their windows driver in case it could help. Here’s the result for lspci -vvv:

I did a web search for “linux uPD720202” and found a number of sites.
This sounded interesting GitHub - markusj/upd72020x-load: Firmware loader for Renesas uPD72020x USB 3.0 chipsets for Linux · GitHub

theprogram · July 13, 2026, 7:29am

Under ‘compatibility’ the vendor claims it is compatible with " Linux 2.6.31 and up - LTS Versions only" so maybe they mean Ububtu or something. You should contact them (as well as get advice here) to see what they mean.

leigh123linux · July 13, 2026, 9:45am

rename K2026090.mem to renesas_usb_fw.mem from this zip file (64bit dir).

https://sgcdn.startech.com/005329/media/sets/pexusb3s4xv_Firmware/Firmware_Update.zip

copy the file to /usr/lib/firmware/ directory

Create /etc/dracut.conf.d/renesas-fw.conf and add

install_items+=" /usr/lib/firmware/renesas_usb_fw.mem "

Then run dracut to add the firmware to initramfs.

sudo dracut -fvv

Reboot

The firmware warning and any log spam from renesas should be fixed.

I had issues with my yubikey when using renesas, adding firmware fixed it here.

Unfortunately, that didn’t solve it.

That said, I tried out the dmesg command you showed and this was what I got:

It is interesting, but I am having issues trying to figure out how to run the script. Is it supposed to be run in a specific way?

Edit: forgot to include the error message:

upd72020x loader not found at ./upd72020x-load

leigh123linux · July 14, 2026, 5:43am

The output looks normal, no firmware warning or other issues.

What is the actual issue? the xhci-pci-renesas driver is present and seems functional.

naditloa214 · July 14, 2026, 6:03am

It’s not detecting anything plugged into the USB’s. Microphones, speakers, flashdrives, nothing.

If everything is working fine, than I’m stumped on what could be blocking them. All I really have to go off is that the accessories plugged into them power on briefly before shutting off.

barryascott · July 14, 2026, 6:08am

Do you see messages in dmesg when devices are plugged in?

naditloa214 · July 14, 2026, 7:27am

Nothing plugged into those ports

Looks like the kernel drive is not seeing a plug in.

Just to double check exactly what you are doing and see can you do this

unplug all devices
reboot
run sudo journalctl --follow
plug in one device

Are there any logs?

Actually, no.

There were logs when I connected the device into a USB port on the motherboard, but no logs showed up when connecting to a port on the PCIe.
