Problem with Keychron K3V2 usb connection

[seyahdoo]

I was having issues with SonixQMK on my Keychron K3V2, when i plug the keyboard to my machine it was sometimes not working completely and i had to replug it several times to get it to work.

While I was investigating this, I found that commit ff551265b12de68f2943b7d4c4793a33c8626d35 has broken this keyboards usb behaviour. It is consistently working correctly on d5e4fb2517b47a6a507fb765d3c78ea46b80f430 but it does not work on ff551265b12de68f2943b7d4c4793a33c8626d35.

Please do investigate further.

I tried doing this once again and I could not reproduce this behaviour. I belive it was caused by something else. It still occurs on latest SonixQMK sn32_master (a46e96cdd01cffc32d369c9317808799166f1ace) though.

I worked around this problem with adding "EEPROM_RESET" keycode to my keymap, If the keyboard does not work when I plug it in, I just press "EEPROM_RESET" and it connects after that.

And then I worked around having to press Fn+Space everytime I plug in with adding eeconfig_init(); on keyboard_post_init_user. Now it works everytime I plug in the keyboard.

void keyboard_post_init_user(void) {
    eeconfig_init();
}

Hi there. Investigation is ongoing. It seems to be host USB controller related, depending on platform. Could you please report back on your system specs? And if it is still present with the latest commits? Thanks

Looks to be consistent, affecting AMD hosts. The eeprom workaround is a new find, and might explain some things. Can you please try #define NO_USB_STARTUP_CHECK on the latest fork head (sn32_develop) and see if the behavior changes?

[seyahdoo]

Now that i have looked at the code again, my latest firmware Im using on my keyboard is using #define NO_USB_STARTUP_CHECK and not using eeconfig_init();. I will recompile with latest sn32 develop now.

[seyahdoo]

tried with latest sn32 develop, it does work with #define NO_USB_STARTUP_CHECK defined

[seyahdoo]

tried with latest sn32 develop, and #define NO_USB_STARTUP_CHECK not defined, and it does not work 6/7 times when you plug in. When it didnt work on the first plug in, It did work after "EEPROM_RESET" keycode.

Interesting results. Can you please also expand this test by adding this https://github.com/SonixQMK/ChibiOS-Contrib/pull/48 ?

trying only changing the /os/hal/ports/SN32/LLD/SN32F2xx/USB/hal_usb_lld.h file on sn32_master havent compiled. will try with that PRs commit now.

[seyahdoo]

tried again in a different way and it did compile on sn32_master with only /os/hal/ports/SN32/LLD/SN32F2xx/USB/hal_usb_lld.h change now. But the issue persists, with this firmware it only worked 7/50 times on first plugging.

[seyahdoo]

keep in mind that it also always works right after the flash, all the time, even with broken firmware.

This PR needs rebasing to target sn32_develop and should be tested against that branch. The issue is known to affect only cold boot/usb replug conditions

[seyahdoo]

ok, will checkout to sn32_develop and try there

qmk-side sn32_develop is mid refactoring and currently has no sn32 keyboards inherited. things in there are bleeding edge and quite a few stuff are still missing ( including optical support). Please hop on the discord server, debugging this through github will take ages

[seyahdoo]

ok, im at the sonix keyboard discord voice channel. we can debug there for an hour if you like.

[dexter93]

small update here, this might just do it https://github.com/dexter93/ChibiOS-Contrib/commit/cbd841a3d02c37ece9777a90d055dee595c86643

[seyahdoo]

im gonna try it soon, once i got home.

[seyahdoo]

made k3 settings on sn32_develop to test the new code https://github.com/SonixQMK/qmk_firmware/pull/341

[seyahdoo]

Finally got time to test this, sorry for the delay. Here is my findings.

Summary: sn32_develop works and does not need the new chibios contrib change to work.

[dexter93]

issue seems to have been ironed out with #371 and #376 . Some edge case scenarios do seem to persist, but it's qmk USB handling related ( not SN32 specific) - soon to be fixed
