Hi Feng,
This is a BMC emulated USB CDROM on a server platform, so there is no
model or serial number for it.
For USB CDROM, we found that the block size is 2KB and then the transfer
length will be 256KB (2KB * 128). Is this what we expect?
Thanks and regards,
Heyi

Hi, Heyi
Just I said before, it's just an experience value.
The transfer length limitation only comes from real h/w and the largest
transfer length shipped by SCSI Read10/Write10 cmd.
A SCSI Read10/Write10 cmd supports max 0xFFFF blocks. But according to our
experience, some h/w devices don't have such big internal buffer to support
read/write 0xFFFF blocks once. That's why we introduced a back-off algorithm in
ScsiDiskDxe to handle such case.
As for Usb cdrom/bot devices, we just directly use such a macro to specify the
max transfer length. If you met real problem, please tell me the device
model/serial no, then we can modify this value accordingly.
Thanks
Feng

Subject: Re: [edk2] Why is USB_BOOT_IO_BLOCKS set to 128?
Hi Feng,
Digging in the code history, I found the original value of USB_BOOT_IO_BLOCKS
was 64, but it was changed to be 128 by the commit 41e8ff2. So could you help
to explain my questions as below?
1. What was the exact reason to change this value?
2. And for the comment in the code, it says "Max carried size is 512B *
128 = 64KB", but we see that some USB CDROM has block size of 2KB. So do we
mean something for 64KB max size?
3. From USB specification perspective, is there any limit for transfer length,
or the device should be able to transfer arbitrary length?

Which usb brand/model name do you have problem on?
Thanks

Subject: [edk2] Why is USB_BOOT_IO_BLOCKS set to 128?
Dear experts,
Could anyone help to explain why USB_BOOT_IO_BLOCKS in
MdeModulePkg/Bus/Usb/UsbMassStorageDxe/UsbMassBoot.h is set to 128?
We found on some platforms this value may cause USB boot failure and
*64* blocks will make them work. Though we have not got the final root cause,
it will be really helpful if you can tell the reason of setting it to 128 and
possible root cause for such issue.
Thanks and regards,
Heyi
