i.MX53QSB - probllems with High-Bandw​idth USB isochronou​s transfers.

[gonfer]

Hi all,

a newbie here!

I'm trying to implement a USB gadget device with my i.MX53QSB using High-Bandwidth USB isochronous transfers (3 packets/microframe) but, unfortunatelly, with NO success. If I use 1 packet/microframe I have no problem at all, it works flawlesslly. The BSP is L2.6.35_11.01.00 from Freescale.

To change from 1 packet to 3 packets/microframe operation, as far as I know, I only need to change the .wMaxPacketSize field of the endpoint descriptor, so:
- for 1 packet/microframe:  .wMaxPacketSize = cpu_to_le16(0x0000+1024)
- for 3 packets/microframe:  .wMaxPacketSize = cpu_to_le16(0x1000+1024)

Doing this, if I plug the QSB to my host machine (Ubuntu 11.04), I can see the following (lsusb -v):
- for 1 packet/microframe:
      ..... . .
      Endpoint Descriptor:
        bLength                 7
        bDescriptorType         5
        bEndpointAddress     0x82  EP 2 IN
        bmAttributes            1
          Transfer Type            Isochronous
          Synch Type               None
          Usage Type               Data
        wMaxPacketSize     0x0400  1x 1024 bytes
        bInterval               1
      ..... . .

- for 3 packet/microframe:
      ..... . .
      Endpoint Descriptor:
        bLength                 7
        bDescriptorType         5
        bEndpointAddress     0x82  EP 2 IN
        bmAttributes            1
          Transfer Type            Isochronous
          Synch Type               None
          Usage Type               Data
        wMaxPacketSize     0x1400  3x 1024 bytes
        bInterval               1
      ..... . .

so this looks OK.

The problem appears in "static int process_ep_req()" (in arcotg_udc.c), where "curr_td->size_ioc_sts" is always set to 0x8408 reporting a "DTD_STATUS_TRANSACTION_ERR" error. This only (and always) happens with 3 packets/microframe, no problem with 1 packet/microframe.

In /proc/driver/fsl_usb2_udc I'm not able to see any problem:

"mult" (in arcotg_udc.c) is directly related to the number of packets/microframe, but for me it's use looks good.

The only problem I've found is in "fsl_ep_queue()" function; "udc" is declared and then used with no initialization. This issue is solved moving the line "udc = ep->udc;" to the beginning of the function. Unfortunately, this looks no to be related with the issue I'm experiencing.

I don't know how to continue. Please, any advice is welcome.

Joan Carles, I don't think so:

in 0x0c00    bits[12-11]= 01   so 1 aditional packet (total of 2 packets/uframe)

in 0x1400    bits[12-11]= 10   so 2 additional packets (total of 3 packets/uframe)

Dooty, I'll work on this after Easter. If documentation is accurate and there is no (undocumented) silicon bug, most of the work is done. Anyway, I'm using a mainline kernel, and things are a bit different than in FSL BSP. If needed, I expect to find support in the USB mailing list.

Gonzalo.

Hi Gonzalo,

Thank you  for your reply. Without freescale support, have you tried to implement high bandwidth isochronous support in UVC gadget driver. What is the current status?. Is it possible to develop UVC gadget driver for high bandwidth Isochoronus support without help of freescale.

Regards,

Dooty.

I'm sorry to say I didn't find a solution. The answer from Freescale to my Technical Service Request was that this feature was not supported.

On the other hand, I also need a solution for this problem, but on a iMX25. I've just started to investigate this issue on a 3.2.2 kernel but I have some preliminary problems (the USB engine is constantly reseting when plugged to a PC and still don't know if this is a harware/software problem). As I'm currently busy in another project, I'll come back to this issue after Easter, and will report my findings here.

Regards,

Gonzalo

We also facing the same issue. please update the current status of this issue. Whether it is solved or not ?.
