MK66 usb_device_hid_generic sometimes fails when going through a usb hub

[ryan_pearson]

Hi,

 I have a project based on the usb_device_hid_generic example for an MK66. Using SDK_2.6.0_FRDM_K66F. When communicating with my device through a PC, I typically don't have an issue. When my device is connected via a USB hub, sometimes a HID communication will fail. This has happened with multiple hubs. Has anyone seen this issue and have any suggestions? Thank you

Hi @ryan_pearson 

USB hubs have disadvantages and could be the cause of your issue.

Not enough power supplied to the MCU, add latency to the usb port in PC and could affect performance in data transfer speed.

I highly recommend you to connect the MCU directly to the pc instead of the hub or while debuging disconnect other unused devices on the hub.

Best Regards,Miguel.
