Winy,

 

Can you please clarify/check the following:

 

1.      What EVM board are you using or is this a custom board?

              I am using customized board "Davinci Prototype Board" - DVPB,
which is derivative of DVEVM board.

              

2.      What kernel are you using?  Which LSP did you install to obtain the
kernel?

              I am using LSP 1.20 to obtain the kernel.

 

3.      Do you have "SCSI disk support" enabled under the "SCSI device
support" section?

              Yes. I did it during configuration of the kernel.

 

4.      If you unplug the pen drive after boot and re-insert it is the USB
pen drive detected?

              No pen drive is not detected, even after re-inserting USB pen
drive after boot up.

 

5.      From you output it appears that you are using a USB hub, does that
hub require a separate power supply?

              I am using only USB pen drive.

 

6.      Lastly, if you do not use the HUB and instead plug the pen drive in
directly is it recognized?

              I am using pen-drive by directly inserting in the board, no
HUB is used for this purpose.

 

Thanx a lot, for your prompt reply

 

Sincerely,

Chase Maupin

Hello Maupin,

 

              Thanks for the reply. The log of the output of lsmod when
board has booted up is attached. It shows that no module is loaded at that
instance. But with this configuration, I am able to detect sd card, hard
disk etc.

 

              I previously worked with u-boot 1.1.3, in that case with the
same kernel and ubl code , I was able to detect usb, sd card & other
peripherals, on board boot up.

By comparing the logs of kernel booting when u-boot 1.1.3 was flashed and in
another case when u-boot 1.20 was flashed, the first line where I can see
difference related to usb is

"usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using musb_hdrc and address 2

scsi0 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices"

 

Hence, I can derive that while board boots up, usb is not able to draw power
from it.

 

Please have a look at the provided log and provide me with your inputs.

Winy,

 

Are the USB modules loaded on your system. i.e. usb_storage.  Can you please
provide the output of lsmod on the board when it has booted up?

 

Sincerely,

Hello all,

              

              I am unable to detect USB mass storage device ( pen drive)
which is inserted in the davinci board, when board boots up. This board is
flashed with u-boot 1.2.0

In the u-boot1.2.0 source code, in .doc/ README.usb document, it is
mentioned that 

 

 "The USB (at least the USB UHCI) needs a frame list (4k), transfer
descriptor and queue headers which are all located in the main memory. The
UHCI allocates every millisecond the PCI bus and reads the current frame
pointer. This may cause to crash the OS during boot. So the USB_MUST_ be
stopped during OS boot. This is the reason, why the USB is NOT automatically
started during start-up. If someone needs the USB he has to start it and
should therefore be aware that he had to stop it before booting the OS."

 

Also, the configuration parameters to be used are,

CONFIG_CMD_USB      enables basic USB support and the usb command

CONFIG_USB_UHCI     defines the low level part .A low level part must be
defined  if using CONFIG_CMD_USB

CONFIG_USB_KEYBOARD enables the USB Keyboard

CONFIG_USB_STORAGE   enables the USB storage devices

                                                      

I have tried enabling above parameters, but the code was still unable to
detect the usb storage device.

 

It would be really very helpful, if someone could give me hint to the
solution, as to which files and parameters should I manipulate.

 

Thanx in advance for the help !!

              

 

Regards,

Winy Verma
