I don't have Linux and have not done any tests on it with Linux, so that may not help you at all. However, I have done various tests of my own and have had the card pass each one of them. I have also enjoyed using the card since it is considerably different than the NEC card, which I also have. Not that I don't like the NEC card by any means, but since the two cards are quite different, I have been able to test my code without having the assumption that it works on the NEC card so it will work on all other cards. In my opinion, and this is just me, I like the TI card more than the NEC card. It has more capabilities, including save and restore, which I am just now building tests for this feature. Again, I am not a Linux user, solely because I don't know how to use Linux, nor have ever done so more than just a quick emulation via Bochs. However, if someone had a small Linux distro (bootable CDROM) image that was legal to distribute, and pass along with it some instructions, I would be more than happy to test the TI card with it. Please note that I do not currently have any USB3 devices, though that will be changed in the near future. With out trying to sound sarcastic, I have a TI card where most of you may not. Therefore, I wouldn't mind at all testing my TI card against your tests and/or code, which in turn would help the Linux usb community, even though I am not part of that community. However, I would think that my request back in November was not at all wrong, and only wish to continue my work and don't mind at all helping others if I am capable of it. Anyway, again not trying to sound sarcastic or rude, but I hope that I am not stepping on anyone toes here and wish all the best to you and yours.
