USBX 10 second delay at initialisation.

[JimJW]

I am trying to use ThreadX/FileX/USBX to read/write files on a USB memory stick.
It appears to work but there is a 10 second delay between initialisation and File access.
I have tracked this down to:

Thread #1 [main] 1 [core: 1] (Suspended : Step)	
	_ux_host_class_storage_transport_bo() at ux_host_class_storage_transport_bo.c:282 0x8011378

	_tx_thread_shell_entry() at tx_thread_shell_entry.c:114 0x800ee1c	
	<signal handler called>() at 0xffffffff	

 This function calls
    _ux_host_stack_transfer_request(transfer_request);
then waits for semaphore ux_transfer_request_semaphore with a 10 second timeout.
The wait does timeout so we climb out of the stack of calls, and get on with reading and writing files which seem to be OK.

The problem calls seems to stem from a call a few steps down the stack in _ux_host_class_storage_device_initialize(), which has:

        /* Get the media type supported by this storage device.  */
        status =  _ux_host_class_storage_media_characteristics_get(storage);
        if (status == UX_HOST_CLASS_MEDIA_NOT_SUPPORTED)
        {
            ...
        }
        if (status != UX_SUCCESS)
            return(status);

It looks as if the semaphore should be signalled in:
void HAL_HCD_HC_NotifyURBChange_Callback(HCD_HandleTypeDef *hhcd, uint8_t chnum, HCD_URBStateTypeDef urb_state)
which is called from the ISR. This works for all the other calls, but in this case, urb_state is always URB_NOTREADY so we never reach:

    /* Wake up the transfer request thread.  */
    _ux_host_semaphore_put(&transfer_request -> ux_transfer_request_semaphore);

I could just reduce the timeout but that doesn't really seem like the right solution!

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi @JimJW 

It seems the transfer is not reaching a completed state in the HCD USBX path, so USBX waits for the timeout before continuing. Since file access works afterward, initialization seems only partially failing. Can you provide USB trace?

[JimJW]

Hi,

Thanks for reply - USB Trace does sound like a very good idea and I must admit I had no idea that it exists!
I have looked in CubeMX, and done some searching but not found anything useful.
Any idea how I enable and extract USB Trace?

Thanks
