STM32L4 USB Won't Trigger Disconnect Interrupt - usb

I'm working on a project with a STM32L4 micro-controller configured for USB and cannot seem to get the USB interrupt to trigger on disconnect. I set everything up using the STM32Cube utility and have tested a similar implementation on a EVAL board I received with a chip from the same family and that one works fine but for some reason on my actual board I can't seem to replicate the expected behavior. I will trigger the interrupt when I first connect the device, and it has settings to handle when a device is disconnected but that portion never gets triggered.
Has anyone dealt with something similar and may be able to point me in the right direction of what to look into?

Issue with usb deregistration on linux kernel

I am using Linux 4.19.55 armv7l on a omap3 processor. On my target there is a usb modem that gets power from a gpio pin value (defined under /sys/class/gpio). There are occasions when I change the value parameter of this gpio pin to bring down the hardware and while doing so I frequently get an error (thrown by musb_handle_intr_disconnect from inside drivers/usb/musb/musb_core.c ) as under:
"musb_handle_intr_disconnect 843: unhandled DISCONNECT transition (a_idle)"
I tried debugging the issue by mounting debugfs and capturing data from the concerned bus by using usbmon. Bus id is identified from lsusb output and confirmed by observing /sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices. I observe that usbmon is unable to capture data whenever the mentioned error shows up. In a no error scenario the usbmon does capture the traffic from the concerned bus. Please help how to debug this issue.
Just checked that a commit on kernel branch fixes this issue which is present inside the states handled by the glue layer. This is the required commit

Issues communicating with devices over usb hub

I'm facing issues when communicating with devices over USB hub. When enumerating devices directly to host port, it does work, some devices over usb hub have issues.
Setup: STM32F103C8 - MAX3421E - LUFA (usb stack) (ported to MAX3421E (host) and STM32F103C8T6 (device)) - USB Full-Speed setup
Scenario:
When I attach device directly to host, I don't experience any issues enumerating almost all (some devices seems to be faulty and have weird/nonstandard behavior) devices. But when I try to enumerate over usb hub, devices starts to behave very strangely. I'm receiving much more NAK's from devices than when connected directly to host. Some devices are able to return Device Descriptor, but retrieving Configuration Descriptor fail. Some devices return Toggle Error after several NAK's, this could be remedied so far by delaying retry IN token. Also there is different behavior of devices when connected over different hubs. I.e. one device has no problems when connected to HUB1, but have issues when connected to HUB2. Then I have HUB3 (7 port) which internally acts as HUB in HUB. On this HUB3 device working fine on port behind secondary internal hub, but not on primary ports exposed over "root" hub.
I'm in suspicion that hub's TT could be somehow interfering with usb communication, but according to information I have found, TT should not be enabled under Full-Speed setup.
I have checked (many times) that I'm setting correct device address assigned during SetAddress phase (which is proved by returning Device Descriptor). When I step debug it seems that I can get Configuration Descriptor also, but while in normal system run, it isn't retrieved, but only over hub.
Does anyone has any ideas, what to look after? I've run out of ideas here after week of trying to find a root cause.
Thanks
so...
- as usual after searching for root cause, solution after days of trying comes naturally after asking on somewhere (this is hapenning to me always, but I do try prior asking always)
- when using hubs, make sure you don't suspend SOF generation during control transfers. LUFA just resume bus inside control transfer routines, so make sure you don"t stops and reenable SOF within (my fault as I'm using ported version to MAX)
- if you have tight main loop make sure you don"t reinitialize usb transfer without completion of previous try, but if you do so, check you don't owerwrite data which haven"t been processed yet fully (especially when using interrupt-driven transfer complete processing) [things seems to work when you have quite some debug output, as it delay that time critical transfers]
Enumeration over hub isuues are now second to none. Small glitches are subject for tweaking.
Unfortunately as I was in question for electrical issues, I had to unsolder usb host shield and soldered another one, which in light of new information seems unneeded. Nevermind, I have trained my soldering skills.

Read Data Across USB Port

I'm playing around with an old Trackball I purchased from Sparkfun. My trackball powers on, but it doesn't actually work. All the lights flash, and it indicates that I've left and right clicked, but the mouse on my screen does nothing.
I want to monitor the input values of the trackball across a USB port so I can track down the problem. I've looked for code I can run on Netbeans, but came up empty handed.
Please advise
You didn't specified what OS are you using. You need dedicated driver for this device. In case of Linux you would need to write your own driver for the kernel. But first you need to have specification of protocol which this device is using over usb and also usb protocol itself. It is quite sophisticated task to do...
In case of Windows there are some programs for dumping transmission between usb host (PC) and device (trackball), but at the moment I can't give you any name of such program. In case of Linux you can dump the transmission using tcpdump or wireshark commands.

USB HID device detection

I am trying to access an USB HID device under Ubuntu(kernel-3.0). I want to write a program which could notify me whenever an USB device is attached to the bus i.e is there any event generated whenever an USB device is plugged in which I can monitor. I have looked into DBus and HAL without any success. But I don't want linux to load its current modules(USBHID and HID) when the device is plugged in. I also want to ask if the mentioned modules are also the device drivers used for HID devices.
My sole purpose is to run a script whenever an USB device is plugged into the bus which will indirectly call the above mentioned modules.
I am writing my code in C. I am quite new to linux. So it would be of great help if anyone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks..
The UDisks deamon will send the D-Bus signal "DeviceAdded" when a USB drive is inserted, and probably another "DeviceAdded" for each partition on the drive. If you have automount you would also get a "DeviceChanged" signal when the partition(s) are mounted. You can then query the UDisks interface, as well as individual devices about their properties, for example. You can find more info on the UDisks interface here: http://hal.freedesktop.org/docs/udisks/UDisks.html
One way to get more familiar with what goes on with block devices (or whatever) on D-Bus, is to install and use D-Feet to inspect the bus. UDisks appear on the System bus. You can see what is there and inspect the properties for individual devices as well as the UDisks interface itself.
Another way, which would also allow you to see what signals are transmitted on the bus, is to run dbus-monitor from the command line.

How to identify when a USB device is inserted to a WinCE device

I have a touch enabled device with WinCE, I need to show a UI whenever a USB device is inserted to the device. If there any event or method to identify the USB insertion in WinCE.
If you want to monitor just USB sticks you can use RequestDeviceNotifications for block devices.
What kind of devices can be plugged to the USB?
You can also change the USB driver code to signal an event whenever it gets an interrupt and you can wait for that event.
This website here has the exact code you need, I tested it and it works on Windows CE 6
AFAIK, you have to register a SystemState handler for a SystemProperty.
If you're using managed code and the SDF, then it's already plumbed in for you with the DeviceStatusMonitor class. This blog entry shows how to detect USB Disks, but other devices can be watched by simply changing the device class you're looking for.
