Isochronous corruption with Intel 6 Series

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,
   I've been having some serious packet corruption issues with a usb audio
device. I've found that the input packets themselves contain bad data
by copying the waveform data sent from my audio device out of the
packets using usbmon and some scripts. The bad data appears to be one
or two samples of old data once per packet (288 bytes) and looks like
it is at the beginning of the packet. This happens on 3 recent sandy
bridge motherboards, on a 2.6.33 kernel and on a 3.2.13 kernel. But, it
does not happen on older motherboards I have.

After some investigation, I found this errata in the Intel 6 series spec:

"
Incorrect Data for FS/LS USB Periodic IN Transaction
Problem: The Periodic Frame list entry in DRAM for a USB FS or LS Periodic
IN transaction may incorrectly get some of its data from a prior Periodic
IN transaction which was initiated very late into the preceding microframe
"

This is outlined in greater detail on page 19 of
http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/6-and-c200-chipset-specification-update.pdf.

It goes on to say that this was observed with asynchronous transactions.
But, could this also affect isochronous transfers too? And, how would I
check for such a condition? Sorry if these are newbie questions!

-Louis
