Ok, coming back to this uas gadget stuff. I've finally had a chance to go back to my notes. Here are some of the concrete issues that I found, that I was able to workaround in some way. * EP's for UAS alt-interface cannot be configured correctly because the config_ep_for_speed() in composite.c does not take into account alt-interfaces. This results in incorrectly configured EP in the controller (no streaming enabled, wrong direction, etc). * START_XFER command needs to enable streams * XFER_NOT_READY event needs to be enabled for streams * For OUT EPs, the TCM/target framework sets receive buffers size as 512 bytes. This cannot work in SUPERSPEED as you must always provide at least MPS-sized buffers. This causes all writes to fail. I'm not sure how to properly fix this as it should be fixed at the function driver level, and this size comes from the target framework. I put a workaround at the controller-level. After addressing these issues, UAS read/write works to some extent. But it is still unstable in ways that point to issues in the target framework, things to do with locking/race conditions there. Even the BOT interface does not work reliably. When I get a chance, I'll try to get everything running again rebased on latest, then submit patches and bug reports. >>> >>> But just in trying to get it to work, these issues make me suspect no >>> one is using this driver in superspeed, or at least regularly testing >>> it, let alone using it in production. >> >> that's probably true, but it's not enough argument to have a duplicate >> implementation of it :-) Rather, we should be figuring out what's broken >> and fixing it.
