Hi,

IOERROR usually means an electrical error. The RPI3B will use a 
transaction translator for the FULL speed traffic, which is driven by 
software. Maybe there is a bug in the HC driver, 
"dev/usb/controller/dwc_otg.c". There are some sysctls to enable full HC 
debugging, see hw.usb.xxx.debug=17 .

Is the device self-powered?

Try something like this:
