Can starterware's USB stack support the USB host HUB?

Yaoming Qin

Hi, all

For the latest Starterware release, can its USB stack support the USB host HUB?

The USB HUB is often used to refine the signal quality for some bad quality u-disk.

Thanks!

Yaoming,

The StarterWare USB stack does not have HUB support.

Hi, Baskaran

Thanks for your reply!

I noticed that there is a SMSC USB hub chip 2412 on the beaglebone, so here the starterware doesn't support the 2412 as the HUB here, righ?

Thanks!

Yaoming,

StarterWare doesnt support 2412 USB hub in beagle bone. As per my understanding this hub is added in beaglebone (and EVM-SK ???) to support

1. On-board xds 100 emulator interface

2. uart serial port

3. USB port

All of the above on single usb interface. And the FTDI driver in host PC takes care to understand the different sources.

Hi, Baskaran

Thanks for your clarification!

I am clear now.

So do we have any plan to support USB HUB in future? what is the schedule?

Thanks!
