USB demo on TWRK64F120M with HUB

[eduardrazumovsk]

Hello,

Does the demo keyboard should work also with HUB ?

When connecting directly the keyboard to K64 USB port it works everything OK (can see keyboard using terminal thru UART)

Now, I have connected the K64 USB to a HUB (Microchip USB2422) and a keyboard to the HUB downstream USB port.

The USB2422 HUB have "Power_EN" ports to enable power to it's downstream ports

My problem is that there is no "Power_EN" from the HUB to its downstream ports in that case

I have tried other HOST - connected the HUB upstream port to a PC (instead of the K64) - in that case everything works great - The HUB enables power to downstream ports

What can be the difference between the K64 and the PC ?

Thanks

Eduard

The 'demo' probably doesn't have the 'HUB' class enabled.

But note of course that once you have a 'hub', the stack must be ready to accept multiple simultaneous devices, even of the same 'class'.  The demo may not be set up for THAT either.

Try uTasker.

Hi

Thanks for the reply

I also assumed that the demo doesn't support HUB, but wasn't sure... How can I know for sure ?

Regarding the multiple simultaneous devices - I don't think that the stack have to support it - It is the HUBs job - the HUB should do it and upstream the data on the individual K64 USB port

Thanks

I don't know where your 'demo' came from, compared to the 'Freescale USB stack' I am using, but in usb_classes.c is:

/* here hub is considered as device from host point of view */

#ifdef USBCLASS_INC_HUB

    #include "usb_host_hub.h"

#endif

and, within USB_CLASS_MAP_CONST CLASS_MAP class_interface_map[] =

...

#ifdef USBCLASS_INC_HUB

   {

      usb_class_hub_init,

      sizeof(USB_HUB_CLASS_INTF_STRUCT),

      USB_CLASS_HUB,

      USB_SUBCLASS_HUB_NONE,

      USB_PROTOCOL_HUB_FS,

      0xFF, 0x00, 0x00

   },

#endif

...

and of course the 'usb_hub_host' driver files to go with those.

As for 'multiple', I'm not convinced that the stack I am looking at has the 'hooks' so that EACH 'callback' (for instance) on a HID instantiation references a different handle-indexed structure so that 'multiples' could be kept entirely isolated.  If your stack looks so sub-indexed, then you are one step ahead!
