Hi,
(See Additional comments below after editing)
I'm currently trying to port the usbd_rom_msc_ram example from the LCP18S37 samples to the Embedded Artists LPC1788 Development Kit, as an interim step to porting it to some custom hardware based on the LPC1788. I've managed to get it mostly working, including porting the external SDRAM config in to allow me to provide 32MBytes of storage but, (in windows) when I right click on the drive and select "Eject", I get a message that an error occurred.
After a bit of research around the place, and using Wireshark to capture the USB packets, it looks like this might be related to the SCSI PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command's response being "command failed" (irrespective of whether the command asks for PREVENT or ALLOW. An example of the output in Wireshark is attached.
When the sense information is requested after this, the response (which is included in the file but, to make it obvious,...) includes:
SCSI Payload (Request Sense Response Data) [LUN: 0x0000] [Command Set:Direct Access Device (0x00) ] [SBC Opcode: Request Sense (0x03)] [Request in: 1991] [Response in: 1993] .111 0000 = SNS Error Type: Current Error (0x70) Valid: 112 0... .... = Filemark: False .0.. .... = EOM: False ..0. .... = ILI: False .... 0010 = Sense Key: Not Ready (0x2) Sense Info: 0x00000000 Additional Sense Length: 10 Command-Specific Information: 00000000 Additional Sense Code+Qualifier: Cannot Read Medium - Unknown Format (0x3001) Field Replaceable Unit Code: 0x00 0... .... = SKSV: False .000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 = Sense Key Specific: 0x000000
Does anyone know whether there is an obvious reason for this (i.e. is there a configuration option I'm missing somewhere)?
I'm assuming that this is happening in the default handler for this message type in the USBD library's MSC stuff; as an alternative to a quick fix, does anyone know how I can override the handling of the message myself? Is this part of the EP0 handling?
Any help gratefully appreciated.

EDIT
After a bit of further consideration, I don't think it's the handling of the PREVENT ALLOW MEDIUM REMOVAL command that's the issue here. As I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong), if the command succeeds, Windows (in this case) thinks it's safe to cache data for the drive and only write it when the drive's being ejected. If the command fails, the caching is avoided and writes just happen when they're needed.
My latest thought is that it's around the SCSI START STOP UNIT command (telling it to stop) that's the problem. This is sent when I select "Eject" on the context menu. The device is responding with command failed. It looks like this is retried then the SCSI TEST UNIT READY command is sent out, which gets a "command passed" response with "Good".
This is only an educated guess, but I suspect that Windows is hoping to see START STOP return command passing then, when it sends TEST UNIT READY, get back a CHECK CONDITION response, with MEDIUM NOT PRESENT or something in the sense information. Obviously that's not happening, so it goes back to the question on whether there's any way to capture the SCSI commands and process them in a way that may be more appropriate.
Also, one other weird thing is that the version of usbdlib I'm using, admittedly from a relatively old LPCOpen release (I think), has the SCCS field in the INQUIRY response set to 1 to show SCC is supported (see below). Does that sound reasonable?
