Hi all,

I try to play once again with the usb host code for the mpc823e.

1. I collected some information from the Internet and the linuxppc-
    embedded mailing list.

2. I downloaded Brad Parkers new usb hci driver (rev. 2) from heeltoe.com
   and integrated it in the kernel sorces (2.4.4) from ftp.denx.de

3. I did some modifications specific to the TQM823L board (mpc823e chip
   revision B2)
   - #define USE_TIMER1_FOR_SOF
   - #define USE_PA4_CLK4
   - #undef POLL_FOR_HUB

4. I loaded the IIC/SPI microcode patch from Brads distribution and
   connected the timer1 output to /dreq1 to enable the patch. I tried
   the microcode patch, which is contained in Wolfgang Denks kernel
   source, too - with the same results.

5. I didn't insert delay gates between the USBXRM/USBXRP inputs of the
    mpc823 and the VM/VP outputs of the PDIUSB11A usb transceiver. I know,
    that the mpc850 needs theese delay gates, but I use the latest release
    of the mpc823e (PPC823EZTnnB2) and there's no hint in the errata.

6.   I tested some devices and got the following results:

Conclusions and questions:

Obviously my mpc823e detects only high speed devices correctly.
This is a known behaviour of the mpc850, but i thought, that the
mpc823 also can work with low speed devices. Did anyone notice
this behaviour too ???

What about the error (-110) connecting the Thunderbird hub ???
Sometimes the hub is detected, sometimes not. A mouse, con-
nected to one of the slave ports of the Thunderbird hub is detected
only sometimes and everytime with errors.
Now, I'm not sure if the USB driver works correctly or not anf if
I need to insert the delay gates or not ... ??? What can I do to
make  driver  more stable ????

I could never receive a character from the usb keyboard, althoug
it was detected correctly everytime. Is there a simple test program,
to check if a usb device in not only detected correctly, but can ex-
change data with the usb host ???

any help would be greatly appreciated.
