Using code almost identical to the SDCardReader MSC example on the MSP430F5510 (just modified to use a serial flash memory instead of an SD card), everything works fine on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. I can format it as FAT, and read/write any size of file.
I tested it on an XP Pro SP3 computer, hoping it would be compatible on there as well. It appears to be able to read files fine, but I can only write files < 64kB, or it will fail with a "path too deep" error. The problem is clearly not that the path is too deep, since it is unrelated to the length of the file name or folder I put it in. Using a USB monitor (USBlyzer), I can see that it fails with "USBD_STATUS_CANCELED" after transferring the first 65536 byte block. It repeats several times, with the same error. On Windows 8.1, the status is "USBD_STATUS_SUCCESS" after that same block. I cannot see any other obvious differences in the USB trace.
Does anyone have any ideas what would cause this?
Thanks!
