Okay; I did my homeworks. We've loaded kernel V3.16 (Oct 14th, 2015) on an i.MX51 plattform and the problem is still there. Unless an important change occured in V3.19, it appears that the latest kernel is not the solution for us. So we're still not able to use 4 codecs on our i.MX plattform.

So just to make things clearer:
- We have customers waiting for a solution with that hardware (this hardware is already delivred AND used);
- We have important comittments and severe penalties ($$$) if we're not able to deliver on time (due for March 15th);
- We've already looked at a hardware solution, which corresponds to replace current units ($$$$$), so that is not really an option for us;

So as a last resort, I'm wondering, where is the USB expert who could help us solving our problem? Any suggestions?

If we are to get into debugging the USB driver, we would do it with the current kernel used (V2.6.31). What are the better tools to get into that? I guess a USB analyzer (hardware) would be the smart thing? Any brand name to suggest?

Any other ideas for a solution will be really appreciated.

Michael Tessier.
