As a side note, if I do a search on "DTXFSTS" there are no other references to it found in the project other than that line checking it. So presumably this means the hardware itself is supposed to be clearing that out after a successful transmission, but it doesn't appear to do so even though the data was correctly received by the host.
Have a problen with demo code on STM32F411DISCO. Need a time to investigate.

Hi dmitrystu! Glad to see you are ok, as I had thought you were living in Ukraine. The code was altered to match more of what was working under the L062 chip as follows:
/* CDC loop callback. Both for the Data IN and Data OUT endpoint */
static void cdc_loopback(usbd_device *dev, uint8_t event, uint8_t ep) {
int _t, _i;
(void)event;
(void)ep;
if (fpos <= (sizeof(fifo) - CDC_DATA_SZ)) {
_t = usbd_ep_read(dev, CDC_RXD_EP, &fifo[fpos], CDC_DATA_SZ);
if (_t > 0) {
memmove((void *)&p_msg_in[0x00], &fifo[fpos], _t);
OrcaUSBCallback();
fpos += _t;
}
}
if (fpos > 0) {
if (_t > 0) {
memmove(&fifo[0], &fifo[_t], fpos - _t);
fpos -= _t;
}
}
if (CDC_TX_RDY != 0x00) {
_i = 0x00;
while (CDC_TX_RDY != 0x00) {
_t = usbd_ep_write(dev, CDC_TXD_EP, &p_msg_out[_i],
(CDC_TX_RDY < CDC_DATA_SZ) ? CDC_TX_RDY : CDC_DATA_SZ);
if (_t > 0x00) {
CDC_TX_RDY -= _t;
_i += _t;
} // end if
} // end while
} // end if
} // end cdc_loopback
We discovered that the proximate cause is that if the host sends less than 64 bytes, then we run into the issues described above, even though this does not happen running this code on the L062. I'm at a loss as to why this matters since the code is designed to allow usbd_ep_read to return less than CDC_DATA_SZ in size. If the host sends less than 64 bytes with the above code arrangement the F411 consistently gets into a state where its internal TX fifo never clears so ep_write always returns -1.
Now it runs smoothly for me

Well, maybe I'm misunderstanding your code a bit. On every TXC or RXC event:
if (fpos <= (sizeof(fifo) - CDC_DATA_SZ)) {
_t = usbd_ep_read(dev, CDC_RXD_EP, &fifo[fpos], CDC_DATA_SZ);
if (_t > 0) {
memmove((void *)&p_msg_in[0x00], &fifo[fpos], _t);
OrcaUSBCallback();
fpos += _t;
}
}
Well, if you have enough space in the FIFO, you will read an endpoint into fifo[] at fpos, then move to the output buffer and make a call if successful. Why memove? I It's possible to read data from ep directly to your buffer. What if there is no space? In that case, _t will be uninitialized.
if (fpos > 0) {
if (_t > 0) {
memmove(&fifo[0], &fifo[_t], fpos - _t);
fpos -= _t;
}
}
You are shifting the remaining FIFO data from the last written position to the start. For what purpose? Remember, _t may be uninitialized. This may cause a buffer overflow.
if (CDC_TX_RDY != 0x00) {
_i = 0x00;
while (CDC_TX_RDY != 0x00) {
_t = usbd_ep_write(dev, CDC_TXD_EP, &p_msg_out[_i],
(CDC_TX_RDY < CDC_DATA_SZ) ? CDC_TX_RDY : CDC_DATA_SZ);
if (_t > 0x00) {
CDC_TX_RDY -= _t;
_i += _t;
} // end if
} // end while
} // end if
You start pushing data into the TX endpoint, but only one hardware FIFO buffer of size CDC_DATA_SZ is allocated for the TX endpoint by default. You can set up the TX endpoint with the USB_EPTYPE_DBLBUF option to have a double FIFO. By the way, DIEPINT_XFRC must be cleared on TX completion. This is done inside event_poll
.
Hello- thank you for looking into this. Regarding the first point, we did originally overwrite the stack's buffer with our outgoing message but this seems like a bad idea if we ever want to support incoming streams larger than CDC_DATA_SZ, so it seemed safer to keep everything distinct. Regarding the second point, as a reminder this is the original cdc loopback code from the demo :
/* CDC loop callback. Both for the Data IN and Data OUT endpoint */
static void cdc_loopback(usbd_device *dev, uint8_t event, uint8_t ep) {
int _t;
if (fpos <= (sizeof(fifo) - CDC_DATA_SZ)) {
_t = usbd_ep_read(dev, CDC_RXD_EP, &fifo[fpos], CDC_DATA_SZ);
if (_t > 0) {
fpos += _t;
}
}
if (fpos > 0) {
_t = usbd_ep_write(dev, CDC_TXD_EP, &fifo[0], (fpos < CDC_DATA_SZ) ? fpos : CDC_DATA_SZ);
if (_t > 0) {
memmove(&fifo[0], &fifo[_t], fpos - _t);
fpos -= _t;
}
}
}
So we left in the memmove
from the original source since the intent appears to be that it is there to support incoming streams larger than CDC_DATA_SZ. If we're never allowing this to happen in our system then it seems logical to simply reset fpos
back to zero every time we read data back from the endpoint.
Regarding the third point, so far double-buffering has not been needed for what we are doing. Unless I misunderstood the nature of your comment it sounds like no edits are recommended for that section. Thank you again for making an update, we look forward to checking it out.
Add some changes to the demo for testing purposes to achieve various lengths for bulk IN transfer with sequential data. Tested with WSL and USBIP using linux_serial_test, and no problems were observed. You can look at the packets here.
We tested the changes from commit a79c8b5 and commit 68d7e8c and our problem with sub-CDC_DATA_SZ sized packets from the host went away, thanks again for responding to this so quickly!
Hello all- I have successfully ported this project over to both the STM32L062 and the STM32F411. However, on the STM32F411 I cannot send data back out to the host if it exceeds CDC_DATA_SZ. I have a loop that iterates over the outgoing data buffer to send CDC_DATA_SZ chunks out, however, after the first successful transmission of CDC_DATA_SZ bytes then line 349 in usbd_stm32f429_otgfs.c always exits with this being true-
So for some reason the TX fifo doesn't get cleared out on successful transmissions. My edit of the loopback code is as such:
For comparison, here is the similar code I am using for a different project on the L062. On this processor the loop correctly sends out the data regardless of size:
Getting this to work on the L062 I don't recall having to edit anything in the files beyond the loopback code in cdc_loop.c. It could be that I'm simply using the wrong otg file but the git project page indicates that usbd_stm32f429_otgfs.c is correct for the F411. Maybe there is some configuration required for the F411 that was absent in the L062 but either way I'm at a loss as to how to continue to troubleshoot this issue. I would hope that I don't have to manually force the endpoint TX buffer to clear itself out as presumably this happens on its own.
