Hello,

When I study the STM32F207 USB HOST MSC project, the free channel function index confuse me a lot.  Why the index in USBH_DeAllocate_AllChannel () starts from 2 not 0? In other function, the index is from 0 to 7.  The channel 0 and 1 can't be DeAllocate?

/**

  * @brief  USBH_DeAllocate_AllChannel

  *         Free all USB host channel

* @param  pdev : core instance

  * @retval Status

  */

uint8_t USBH_DeAllocate_AllChannel  (USB_OTG_CORE_HANDLE *pdev)

{

   uint8_t idx;

  

   for (idx = 2; idx < HC_MAX ; idx ++) // Here is the index

   {

  pdev->host.channel[idx] = 0;

   }

   return USBH_OK;

}

/**

  * @brief  USBH_GetFreeChannel

  *         Get a free channel number for allocation to a device endpoint

  * @param  None

  * @retval idx: Free Channel number

  */

static uint16_t USBH_GetFreeChannel (USB_OTG_CORE_HANDLE *pdev)

{

  uint8_t idx = 0;

 

  for (idx = 0 ; idx < HC_MAX ; idx++)

  {

 if ((pdev->host.channel[idx] & HC_USED) == 0)

 {

    return idx;

 }

  }

  return HC_ERROR;

}

As I understand each host example allocates 2 channels as part of the host interface initialization code. These 2 channels supposed to stay alive during the live of the application. They are de allocated explicitly at the end of the application.   

USBH_DeAllocate_AllChannel is supposed to be called to free any other channels that were allocated to communicate with a device. It is called by the host when that device is detached.
