USB driver for ISP1362 very slow

USB driver for ISP1362 very slow

[Jörg Huwig]

Hi all,

I'm using an ISP1362 as an USB host controller connected to a MPC880 running
under Linux 2.4.25.
The Driver seems to work fine as I can mount an USB memory stick. 
But the performance is very bad. To copy a 1MByte big file from the USB
memory stick to the RAM disk takes about 3 minutes. 

Does anyone has experience with the ISP1362 driver in Kernel 2.4.25??


Regards

Joerg Huwig

Are there any error messages in the log files? Did  you  try  another
USB memory stick, especially any USB 2.0 stick?

Sure. We implemented it and tested it with mass storage devices,  USB
modems, network adapters and in combination with RNDIS on Windoze.

Hi Wolfgang,

I tried different USB memory sticks but the result was always the same.
Also there were no error messages in the log file.=20

After trying to understand the driver, I found two defines which seem to =
be
responsible for the slow transmission.

In     hcd-1161.c: #define ATL_DONE_DELAY   10
and in hcd-1161.h: #define ATL_BLOCK_SZ     64

with this defines the host controller handles every 11 ms one 64Byte ATL
block, which of cause is very slow.=20

I have changed the ALT_BLOCK_SZ from 64 to 512 and reduced the=20
ATL_DONE_DELAY from 10 to 2. With this changes the driver works much =
faster.

Is it OK to change these constants in that way or could this cause =
trouble?


Best regards,

Joerg Huwig
