Subject: [U-Boot-Users] usb storage return value is always true
Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:56:59 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47E072EB.10309@magtech.com.au> (raw)

I'm using U-Boot 1.3.2 with AT91RM9200 custom board (based on DK)

At boot time I want to detect that a USB storage device has been
inserted, and then I want to attempt to load an image off it and upgrade
my system.

If I run "usb storage" it always returns 0 - even if there is no USB
storage device inserted. If I run fatload on a non-existent device, it
has a very long timeout period.

e.g.

U-Boot> usb start
(Re)start USB...
USB:   scanning bus for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
       scanning bus for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s) found
U-Boot> usb storage; echo $?
No storage devices, perhaps not 'usb start'ed..?
0
U-Boot> usb start
(Re)start USB...
USB:   scanning bus for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found
       scanning bus for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found
U-Boot>  usb storage; echo $?
  Device 0: Vendor:          Prod.:                  Rev: PMAP
            Type: Removable Hard Disk
            Capacity: 245.5 MB = 0.2 GB (502784 x 512)
0


Is there a way to detect if a USB storage device has been inserted?

Aras
