What is the means to reset just the internal USB OTG PHY of the STM32?

[RhSilicon]

Hi,

I noticed that there are debug messages advising to disconnect the device from the USB port.

• But it has happened to me that the USB port remains stuck even after removing the device (keyboard) and reconnecting. I had to reset the MCU in this case.
• It has also happened that the USB device does not respond after resetting the STM32F407VGT6.

I've tried de-initializing and initializing the USBH via the HALL functions, and it seems to have helped to get it working again, but it didn't completely resolve it. Completely resetting the STM32 using the "NVIC_SystemReset()" command re-established communication most of the time.

• Apparently the USB device is reset when the STM32 is reprogrammed via STlink. I noticed this because I added keyboard LED activation routines, and the LEDs go off when reprogramming the STM32, in this case I didn't use power manager, the keyboard was always powered with 5V, so it wasn't a power reset.
• (When I did the keyboard reset test via Linux PC, using usbreset cmd line, the keyboard LEDs didn't go out)
• Perhaps as a starting point for researching what happens to the device when the STM32 is reprogrammed via STlink, I will try to monitor the USB port data lines with logic analyzer.

I thought of programmatically resetting the value of all CSR registers (Core global control and status registers - Ref.: RM0090). Could this work as a reset of the OTG PHY module?

• What would be the way to accomplish this, would you have to de-initialize PHY, stop the PHY clock, and then change the CSR registers?

Why do you think this has anything to do with the PHY?

Most probably that's a bug in the USBH software. Debug it as usually - develop understanding of how does it work, and then find out at which step does it fail to enumerate the device.

Did you check what do those functions actually do? Did you reset the OTG module using its respective reset bit in RCC?

Oddly DeInit doesn't seem to DeInitialize completely, this does not use the USBH_LL_DeInit function:

 

/**
 * @brief HCD_Init
 * De-Initialize the Host portion of the driver.
 * phost: Host Handle
 * @retval USBH Status
 */
USBH_StatusTypeDef USBH_DeInit(USBH_HandleTypeDef *phost)
{
 (void)DeInitStateMachine(phost);

 /* Restore default Device connection states */
 phost->device.PortEnabled = 0U;
 phost->device.is_connected = 0U;
 phost->device.is_disconnected = 0U;
 phost->device.is_ReEnumerated = 0U;
 phost->device.RstCnt = 0U;
 phost->device.EnumCnt = 0U;

 if (phost->pData != NULL)
 {
 (void)USBH_LL_Stop(phost);
 }

#if (USBH_USE_OS == 1U)
#if (osCMSIS < 0x20000U)

 /* Free allocated resource for USBH process */
 (void)osThreadTerminate(phost->thread);
 (void)osMessageDelete(phost->os_event);

#else

 /* Free allocated resource for USBH process */
 (void)osThreadTerminate(phost->thread);
 (void)osMessageQueueDelete(phost->os_event);

#endif /* (osCMSIS < 0x20000U) */
#endif /* (USBH_USE_OS == 1U) */

 return USBH_OK;
}

 

I modified the way of managing timeout and port reset as well, it was a bit better.

But with the reset commands via RCC the USB module seems to have managed to recover every time it crashed, I hope I'm not celebrating too soon.

If anyone needs it, better navigate through the IDE to see the changes, I also managed to get two HID interfaces recognized (with the help of another example project that implements USB HUB), to operate with the (built-in Touchpad) Keyboard, and to control the keyboard LEDs (still need to finish Touchpad decoding part):

@RhSilicon When you do USB device reset remotely (ex. with this usbreset utility), the host signals the reset to the device. This requires that the device side USB controller is alive and functioning, that's, the firmware is at least partially working.
