USB superspeed peripherals Forum Discussions

I'm working on a consulting project that needs a Composite HID + Bulk device.  I have many years of HID experience, being the author of HIDmaker software for Microchip devices, but I am completely new to Cypress FX3 devices and framework.

I am set up & able to compile & run stock FX3 demos, especially the HID "mouse in a circle" and BulkSrcSink demos on the SuperSpeed Explorer Kit board.  I am able to capture HIgh Speed bus traffic with a Beagle 480 analyzer.

The trouble came in when I tried to make a Composite device by merging code from the Cypress cyfx3_hid demo into the cyfxbulksrcsink demo, to make a single project that contains both a Bulk Interface and a HID Interface. 

I chose to use two separate threads in my merged project : one for the Bulk Interface, and the other for the HID Interface. (I have one CyFxApplicationDefine() function that calls 2 routines that create a thread for the Bulk Interface and another thread for the HID Interface. ) As I am new to FX3, I don't know if trying to use 2 threads like this was a good idea or not.  I would appreciate any feedback you would care to share on that subject.

I have added many CyU3PDebugPrint() statements, to tell me which routines get called.  I have tried running with both threads being created, or only one of these 2 threads being created.

I believe that I have merged the Descriptors together correctly, and have gotten the project to compile without errors, but at run time, the merged project fails in the very beginning of the run, during the bus speed negotiation phase.  Here is a screen shot of a Beagle capture of the merged project with only the HID thread enabled:

You can see that in both attempts at bus speed negotiations, the device times out and suspends, but the second suspend (Index 15) is total -- the PC doesn't make any further attempt to communicate with the device.  Notice the details of the Chirps in the two attempts.

By contrast, here is the beginning of a capture of the working cyfxbulksrcsink  project:

This run succeeds. Notice the details of the Chirps in the two attempts -- different than in the non-working project.  Notice that after the second <Full-speed> state (Item 18), the PC immediately sends a SOF and begins communicating with the device.

So the key question is "Where in the Cypress code would this speed negotiation behavior be getting screwed up in my failing merged example ???"

Another curious thing, even about this working example, is that I was connecting this SuperSpeed - capable example to a USB3 receptacle on the Windows 10 PC through a new USB 2 hub, to force High Speed communication so the Beagle 480 could capture data. But for some reason, we wind running the whole project in Full Speed.  Why is that happening ?

Since this merged project is totally non-proprietary to my client, I could certainly provide the current (non-working) source code if anybody wanted to look it over.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Is there a recommended power supply circuit diagram when using fx3S with self power?

Please tell me about the processing of the VBUS and VBATT terminals.

Hello.

I am using the AT24C256C instead of the M24M02 on the CYUSB3KIT-003 board.

In the M24M02, the eeporm works well, but I2C EEPROM Failed occurs when AT24C256C (A0, A1, A2 => NC) is used.

What settings do I need to use Microchip's 256K eeprom on the FX3?

Hi,

We are developing a new product and found the FX3 to be a suiting alternative for our new product range.
But we are  wondering about the driver options we have using this Cypress chip.

For our products we don’t have any special need for the USB drivers(just Win7/Win10), and could use the Cypress standard driver.
We don’t want to spend too much time and effort in the driver process (time to market), and cost is also an issue.
What options do we have?
• Can we distribute the Cypress driver(with Cypress VID/PID) with our products?
• Can we distribute the Cypress driver(with our own VID/PID), but what about driver signing do you have a program for that?
• ?

Regards Inge.

Hi All,

Is it possible for firmware to generate a system (hardware) reset?  If so, how?

Thanks,

Dear Sir,

    We are trying to use Fx3BootAppGcc load one app image (come from EZ-USB FX3 SDK\1.3\firmware\basic_examples\cyfxbulksrcsink) to RAM,

    But when cyfxbulksrcsink start up, it show the error message "CyU3PUsbStart failed to Start, Error code = 254" .

    We use the "usb Control Center "download cyfxbulksrcsink to RAM by USB.

    If boot the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\EZ-USB FX3 SDK\1.3\firmware\basic_examples\cyfx_rtos_example", It is OK.

    Can you please tell us what causes this issues? How to fix it?

Thanks,

Martin

Hi,

I am new to the FX3 and need help setting up the FX3 as a slave FIFO with an external clock. I have the superspeed kit, and I am using John Hyde's book for guidance and examples. My application ( high-speed ADC) is very close to one of his examples in the book (GPIF example 4) except for the direction of the clock.

Other than modifying it in the GPIF designer and including the new header file, do I need to make changes to the firmware?

I can probe and confirm the FX3 is not outputing any clock, but the DMA_ready flag for some reason is never asserted in this case.

How shall I approach this issue?

Thanks,
