I've tried that, my RealSense camera and several other USB devices I've used require physically unplugging and plugging after every reboot or it refuses to work.

That Linux USB reset does not work.

I've got experience with this... `reboot` won't work, as it doesn't cut power, but if you can do `rtcwake -m off -s 30`, the power to the USB ports gets cut in between the computer being off and booting back up again.

(I even replace `reboot` with a script warning of this gotcha :) )

Caveat: this is with a typical x86 motherboard. Not all SBCs have RTCs needed to use rtcwake (e.g. RPi doesn't I think?)
