STM32H745: USB MSC stuck at configASSERT

FabianEbs
Associate III

Hello :)

I have created a project for a STM32H745I_Disco board in TouchGFX, imported it to STM32CubeIDE and enabled:

  • USB_OTG_FS -- Host_Only and VBUS sensing
  • USB_HOST_M7 -- Mass Storage Host Class + Platform settings for enable Pin
  • FATFS_M7 -- USB Disk, USE_LFN on, MAX_SS to 4096
  • USART2 -- for debugging, asynchronous and 9600 Baudrate 

After this, I generated the code. I had to manually add the usb files (STM32_USB_Host_Lib, USB_HOST, FATFS) to the project for it to compile successfully.

Now i want to write to a flash drive connected to the USB_FS port, using the default fatfs functions. All I did in the code is use f_mount, f_open, f_write and f_close for my flash drive, in usb_host.c in USBH_UserProcess under the HOST_USER_CLASS_ACTIVE case, like this:

 

 

  case HOST_USER_CLASS_ACTIVE:
  Appli_state = APPLICATION_READY;

  FIL file;
  FRESULT res;
  char data[] = "Hello, World!";
  UINT bytesWritten;

  // Attempt to mount the file system
  if (f_mount(&USBHFatFS, (TCHAR const*)USBHPath, 0) != FR_OK) {
      printf("Mount failed!\n");
      return;
  }

  // Attempt to open the file
  printf("Attempting to open the file...\n");
  res = f_open(&file, "test.txt", FA_CREATE_ALWAYS | FA_WRITE);
  if (res != FR_OK) {
      printf("File open failed with error: %d\n", res);
      return; // Exit if opening the file fails
  }
  printf("File opened successfully!\n");

  // Attempt to write to the file
  printf("Preparing to write data to the file...\n");
  res = f_write(&file, data, sizeof(data) - 1, &bytesWritten);
  if (res != FR_OK) {
      printf("Write operation failed with error: %d\n", res);
  } else {
      printf("File written successfully! Bytes written: %u\n", bytesWritten);
  }

  // Attempt to close the file
  res = f_close(&file);
  if (res != FR_OK) {
      printf("File close failed with error: %d\n", res);
  } else {
      printf("File closed successfully!\n");
  }
  break;

 

When debugging, the code is stuck in tasks.c at line 3157:  configASSERT( pxUnblockedTCB ); so is it some problem with RTOS scheduling?

When removing parts of my code, f_mount only works fine. Starting from f_open, the code gets stuck.

I have attached my .ioc file, but I really just adjusted the parts mentioned above.

 

What am I doing wrong here?

I was able to make it work by following this tutorial: https://embetronicx.com/tutorials/microcontrollers/stm32/stm32-usb-host-msc-connect-pendrive-to-stm32/ 

Apparently my f_open and f_write implementation was not correct.

Hi @FabianEbs 

Have you tried this example.

The issue could be linked to the stack/heap size for tasks, you can refer to the config in FreeRTOSConfig.h

Hi @FBL 

 

Thanks a lot for your response!

stack/heap size seems fine:

#define configUSE_PREEMPTION                     1
#define configSUPPORT_STATIC_ALLOCATION          1
#define configSUPPORT_DYNAMIC_ALLOCATION         1
#define configUSE_IDLE_HOOK                      0
#define configUSE_TICK_HOOK                      0
#define configCPU_CLOCK_HZ                       ( SystemCoreClock )
#define configTICK_RATE_HZ                       ((TickType_t)1000)
#define configMAX_PRIORITIES                     ( 56 )
#define configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE                 ((uint16_t)128)
#define configTOTAL_HEAP_SIZE                    ((size_t)0x8000)
#define configMAX_TASK_NAME_LEN                  ( 16 )
#define configUSE_TRACE_FACILITY                 1
#define configUSE_16_BIT_TICKS                   0
#define configUSE_MUTEXES                        1
#define configQUEUE_REGISTRY_SIZE                8
#define configUSE_RECURSIVE_MUTEXES              1
#define configUSE_COUNTING_SEMAPHORES            1
#define configUSE_PORT_OPTIMISED_TASK_SELECTION  0

ill compare my project with the one you mentioned. i used this example for the setup: https://controllerstech.com/stm32-usb-host-msc/#info_box

Apparently my f_open and f_write implementation was not correct.

Here is my usb_host.c file for future reference :)
