References: <3CFFA5AF.DD247938@motorola.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-embedded@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: To follow up on my original message, it appears that the delay gates are indeed required for proper host mode operation on the 823e. Using the PDIUSBP11A transceiver, we measured about 6-8ns of skew between the single ended and differential receive lines. This is apparently too close to the +8ns limit stated in the MPC850 device errata. So you may get a lucky transceiver/processor combo that will work, but most likely you'll need the delay gates on the differential receive pair to get host mode to work reliably. -Josh Josh Horvath wrote: > > The device errata for the MPC850 includes the CPM17 bug that states delay > gates are necessary on the USB pins.
