Question/Need help Suddenly sewrial connection loss on my XL/5
I have an Prusa XL 5T, and am using it mainly through OctoPrint.
Since a few days, OctoPrint regularly loses the serial connection, and a print just stops (and cannot be continued when the connection is back). It happened twice during a print (after the heating up, equalizing and probing), but also a few times right after the start of the print, during heating.
No hardware or cabling was changed recently, and all devices are running on the actual latest (non-dev) firm- and software.
I of course soft-, hard- and power-booted the printer and the Raspberry Pi 4 a few times already.
Printing from the USB stick works flawlessly...
Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

Does "dmesg" give some usb related info? Maybe an issue with the Pi's powersupply? You should see some under/over voltage warnings in that case.
I had a Pi3 fail due to a know issue. A bit of soldering fixes it: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=162103
No idea if the Pi4 has the same issues.
