Hi, I've got and issue probably with USB 2.0 split transactions, although I'm not sure of that yet. The situation is a little complex. What I have in hardware is this : PC ---> Atmel G45 MCU ---> HUB ---> 2 devices. All connection are USB. The 2 devices are full speed and all other USB connections are high speed. Whether I connect one or two devices doesn't matter for my issue. When I run a program on the Atmel G45 to address the 2 devices it runs well. What I do is : 1) I open both devices 2) I write a command to both devices 3) I read something from both devices 4) I close both devices This runs basically in a continuous loop and never fails. What I need however is actions to be done from the PC. I send the command for writing to the 2 devices from the PC, the Atmel G45 than sends it to the 2 devices and reads data from the devices. I than issue a read from the PC and should get the results from the 2 devices. This works but is not reliable. Sometimes I experience the HUB being disconnected and I don't have a clue yet why it gets disconnected. It doesn't do that when running a program directly on the Atmel G45. The HUB in use is this one : http://www.mouser.com/catalog/specsheets/2514.pdf The disconnect occurs after data has been send from the Atmel G45 to the PC but I have no clue why that could influence the HUB behaviour as this action is on the USB device side of the Atmel G45. This last data arrives well at the PC side. The HUB than enumerates again and it can be used again (but is not useful to me). The HUB and my Atmel have both external power connected. The devices use about 60mA each. Not using external power for the HUB or the Atmel causes the same behavior. I used another HUB which doesn't do high speed split transactions but uses full speed connection to my devices and this seems to work a lot better. In fact it ran all night without errors. The other HUB doesn't last a single minute. As mentioned, running a program directly on the Atmel G45 works fine, but as soon as I include the PC connection things start to behave differently for different types of HUBs. I'm wondering what happens when I connect USB to my PC and why that influences the behavior of the HUB. Somehow it all looks like some major timing issues, but I wonder why the HUB performs well when I run a program on the Atmel G45 and don't use the USB device connection to the PC. On the Atmel I use a 2.6.33 kernel. Another strange phenomenon is that sometimes the HUB can't be enumerated, but when I than disconnect the USB device port, it suddenly can enumerate. Any ideas on how to find the root cause of this issue are welcome.
