USB Bug
Added by Benedikt K. over 10 years ago
Hej hej,
we have noticed a usb bug on the MityDSP and we are not sure why this happens.
We are using linux 3.7.0+-kernel with our own baseboard. The socket is configured and initialized as USB_HOST (with mityomapl138_usb_init(MUSB_HOST);).
If I plug in a usb stick to the USB 2.0 socket, the device is recognized and mounted. If I then unplug the stick and plug in again or plug in another usb device, nothing is detected. I need a reboot to use the usb socket again.
If I use a usb hub on the MityDSP connector, it is recognized and I can plug and unplug several usb devices as often as I want. They are always detected and automounted. If I disconnect the usb hub from the MityDSP and plug it in again or plug in another device directly to the MityDSP, then again nothing is detected.
I suspect the usb driver has problem with suspending. Configuring the device from "auto" to "on" in /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb2/power/control does not change the behaviour. The runtime_status returns always "active".
I compiled the kernel with and without the CONFIG_USB_SUSPEND and the CONFIG_USB_OTG option, but this doesn't change anything.
Do you have any idea what might cause this problem?
Best regards, Benedikt

Another thing: When I plug in the first usb device the number of usb interrupts in /proc/interrupts increases. When I unplug it, it stops as expected. But not a single interrupt happens when I plug in another device after unplugging the first one.

Hello,
Are you using a 3.7 branch from our git site, or the mainline? I don't think we officially support 3.7. Do you see the same behaviour in 3.2?

It is from your git page - as far as I remember. Our software student tried to jump to 3.14 two month ago but it didn't work completly so we jumped only to 3.7. as this seemed to work.

Note that we have seen a similar issue on the 335x. Could you checkout the following page and report back if the solution helps?

There are several missing features in the 3.14 branch that I found when trying to move to it. I created a tag to mark my findings.

I'm not sure of the state of the 3.7 kernel other than it boots and usb appeared to be working.
