USB driver for ISP1362 very slow

[Jörg Huwig]

Hi Wolfgang,

I tried different USB memory sticks but the result was always the same.
Also there were no error messages in the log file. 

After trying to understand the driver, I found two defines which seem to be
responsible for the slow transmission.

In     hcd-1161.c: #define ATL_DONE_DELAY   10
and in hcd-1161.h: #define ATL_BLOCK_SZ     64

with this defines the host controller handles every 11 ms one 64Byte ATL
block, which of cause is very slow. 

I have changed the ALT_BLOCK_SZ from 64 to 512 and reduced the 
ATL_DONE_DELAY from 10 to 2. With this changes the driver works much faster.

Is it OK to change these constants in that way or could this cause trouble?


Best regards,

Joerg Huwig

Are there any error messages in the log files? Did  you  try  another USB
memory stick, especially any USB 2.0 stick?

Sure. We implemented it and tested it with mass storage devices,  USB
modems, network adapters and in combination with RNDIS on Windoze.
