Problem connecting USB 2.0HUB to i.MX28 custom board.

Hi

We have a problem connecting a USB HUB to i.MX28 - it is not detected. Detailed description follows:

We are working with custom board using i.MX286 or i.MX287 (both tested).

Our hardware resembles i.MX28EVK with the few exceptions:

- we have a USB HUB chip (SMSC) connected immediately to USB1 - it is configured according to its spec. (same as on some evaluation kit we have)

- we do not connect usb overcurrent signal to i.MX28 - it is handled automatically

- we do not use power regulators for USB - in i.MX28 EVK GPIO has to be toggled to turn on USB power, in our case it is powered after reset.

The device is wall-powered (I mean, it is not using battery or power from USB)

So the only important signals that we are using are USB D+ and D-.

As for hardware - we have a few prototypes and we have tested the pcb design - there are no errors.

I tried various kernel versions:

- 2.6.35 (from Freescale web page)

- 3.X with devicetree (I tried 3.7, 3.10, 3.11, and 3.12-rc3)

Devicetree or platform_data - reflects our configuration (no OCS, no vbus_reg).

The following log is from 3.11:

Sometimes the hub is not even recognized.

Not even HUB is detected here.

The same happens if we connect a SMSC hub to USB0 acting as a host. Same messagess no matter the hub is active or not.

Is there somebody out there, having some experience with USB Host at i.MX28?

Regards

mx23-olinuxino board has a smsc usb hub and it works fine.

It would help if you post your device tree.

Other suggestion is to post this to the linux-usb@vger.kernel.org list.
