From what I understand, with the H3, Allwinner has put a mux
in front of the MUSB controller. The mux can send the USB data
to/from the MUSB controller, or a standard EHCI/OHCI pair.
This register controls said mux.
This means we can use a proper USB host for host mode,
instead of the limited support in MUSB.
But musb can still operate as a host, right?
Yes!
Hello,
I don't know how the MUSB implementation in the H3 behaves as I
don't have any H3-based systems, but if it should happen to be
similar to the one in the A31s, it probably isn't a full-fledged
alternative to using an OHCI/EHCI controller.
You right it isn't which is why I suggested that the phy-sun4i-usb
code should set the mux to the OCHI/EHCI pair when the id pin
is pulled low (host-mode).
From my practical experiments with the MUSB in the A31s in host
mode I can report that I hadn't been able to get multiple HIDs
(in my case keyboard and mouse) working at the same time. The
keyboard alone worked without problems, the mouse alone worked
without problems, but when both were connected, only one of them
worked.
I had at that time talked to Hans de Goede about the problem and
if I remenber correctly, he had mentioned that the MUSB has
problems servicing more than one device that does interrupt
transfers (as HIDs do).
Hans, can you perhaps shed some light on this?
Everything you've said is correct, the MUSB can emulate a
host-controller, but it is not really one and when possible
should not be used as such.
Regards,
Hans
