Hi, I've just tried a FTDI SIO USB serial device connected to the ISP1761 on Versatile Express (an ARM Cortex A9 SMP development platform) running 2.6.37. It appears to be detected correctly: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using isp1760 and address 2 port 1 high speed usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0471, idProduct=3526 usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-1: Product: ISP1520 usb 1-1: Manufacturer: Philips Semiconductors hub 1-1:1.0: USB hub found hub 1-1:1.0: 3 ports detected usb 1-1.3: new high speed USB device using isp1760 and address 3 usb 1-1.3: New USB device found, idVendor=0403, idProduct=6011 usb 1-1.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 usb 1-1.3: Product: Quad RS232-HS usb 1-1.3: Manufacturer: FTDI ftdi_sio 1-1.3:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected usb 1-1.3: Detected FT4232H usb 1-1.3: Number of endpoints 2 usb 1-1.3: Endpoint 1 MaxPacketSize 512 usb 1-1.3: Endpoint 2 MaxPacketSize 512 usb 1-1.3: Setting MaxPacketSize 512 usb 1-1.3: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0 ... but after minicom attaches to one of the four USB serial ports, the console is spammed with: Reloading ptd e74070a0/e71e9680... qh e74070c0 read: 0 of 512 done: 00000002 cur: 00000001 Reloading ptd e74070a0/e71e9680... qh e74070c0 read: 0 of 512 done: 00000002 cur: 00000001 Reloading ptd e74070a0/e71e9680... qh e74070c0 read: 0 of 512 done: 00000002 cur: 00000001 Reloading ptd e74070a0/e71e9680... qh e74070c0 read: 0 of 512 done: 00000002 cur: 00000001 The comment associated with the printk seems to suggest that it's caused by the device not responding quickly enough - if it's a serial device being polled for received data, I guess it won't respond... that's just a guess though. However, it appears to receive and transmit fine, until I paste a >80 line into minicom: Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 OMAP44XX SDP # setenv bootargs 'root=/dev/mmcb and there USB activity wedges after 31 characters - the interrupt count against the host controller remains static no matter what I do. The machine is otherwise alive. It seems that USB has completely fallen over.
