Hi,
I have been trying to communicate with a custom usb device from a
SAM9G20-EK board using the usb-skeleton.c driver example in the linux
source. I modified the driver to add my device's vendor and product
id. The USB device enumerates with two bulk endpoints - one IN and one
OUT. The (modified) skel driver successfully detects my device and I
get a minor number allocated. After creating a device file with that
minor number, I am able to write into the device by typing 'echo "HI"
> /dev/mydevice'. I verified that this data arrives at my device
intact. Next, I started sending data back from the device and tried to
read it back using 'cat /dev/mydevice'. The problem is that read not
only doesn't work, but also makes the app get totally stuck. Ctrl-C
doesn't work and I have to reboot the board.
Some debugging using printk's led me to the following snippet which
seems to be causing the hang. If I change the wait to a
wait_for_completion_interruptible, Ctrl-C starts working, but still no
data is received.
if (!dev->processed_urb) {
/*
* the URB hasn't been processed
* do it now
*/
wait_for_completion(&dev->bulk_in_completion);
dev->bulk_in_copied = 0;
dev->processed_urb = 1;
}
Oh, btw I am using linux kernel 2.6.39.4. Any Ideas anyone??
Regards,
Felix.
