Eric,

I must agree the naming of these usb pei related ppi guids are not good, which 
misleads you.

There is no the chicken and egg problem. gPeiUsbHostControllerPpiGuid and 
gPeiUsbControllerPpiGuid are two different ppis. The former is consumed by 
UsbPei and the latter is consumed by XhciPei. You need write a pei module to 
produce PeiUsbControllerPpi (see MdeModulePkg/Include/Ppi for definitions) at 
first.

Thanks
Feng

Subject: [edk2] Help debugging PEIM on Minnowboard Max

I'm writing a PEIM for a USB3 device but having trouble even getting the 
UsbBusPie and XhciPei modules to load during boot.

I thought getting the existing Usb Peims to load would be a good first step.
I looked at the DEPEX for both of the above modules and tried removing 
"gEfiPeiBootInRecoveryModePpiGuid" but I didn't see them load.  If I set both 
of their DEPEX == TRUE then I see some print statements that show they are at 
least trying to load but then I have a chicken and egg problem in that 
UsbBusPie needs either gPeiUsbHostControllerPpiGuid or 
gPeiUsb2HostControllerPpiGuid which come from XhciPei.  However, XhciPei needs 
gPeiUsbControllerPpiGuid which comes from UsbBusPei before  it will install the 
gPeiUsb2HostControllerPpiGuid.  The same cross dependency is shown in the DEPEX 
for these two modules.

I feel like I'm missing something simple and fundamental and I'm hoping someone 
will point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Eric W
