Testing USBHost. (SC20260 Tiny 2.0 preview 5)
When my application starts, it reads files from the SD card. If I have a USB mass storage device in USB Host, the SD file read fails. Also, I dont see the “DeviceConnectionStatus.Disconnected” event when I remove the USB device, and the system locks up.
Can you be a bit more specific on steps steps and needed and what code to try?
boot/Startup sequence: (USB Device already in connector)
If the USB device is not in connector, then SD reads OK.
IF the application is running and I have connected the USB device, I do not recieve the disconnect event when removing the device and the system locks
How did your determine what drive goes with what letter? Are you sure that part of the code is correct?
on sd card drive.name -> “a:\”
on usb drive.name -> “b:\”
I think the first drive registered is A so that might he your problem. You should not hardcode the driver name.
When accessing the files I use:
file = new FileStream($@"{drive.Name}{filename}", fm, FileAccess.ReadWrite);note that “drive” is a different object for sd and usb
We will check, thanks
any news on this issue ?
Fixed already SD and USB likely don't work if both mounted · Issue #558 · ghi-electronics/TinyCLR-Libraries · GitHub
Release comes this week
Hi, we corrected file system when both SD and USB are mounted. But we couldn’t reproduce disconnect even issue.
Can we know what kind of usb thumb drive you are using?
Thanks
Hi, we tried a simple code below to reproduce USB host disconnect event (128GB). it works well to us, keep repeating remove, inserted… 11 times (0->10) as picture below.
But because it is simple project so the bug may not happened yet. If you can, please read the code below and do some change in your project, and share to us what you find out.
We know the bug is there, but not sure how to reproduce yet.
Thanks.

In both cases, I removed the drive and the board hung, until something (watchdog ?) gave control back to VS, which then says :
The debugger engine failed to receive any debug events from the debugging target
A hard reset is needed to deploy again.
No “Massatorage 
disconnected” message.
Please try with power source or powered hub.
I see it in SC20100 Dev, but not on 260. Not sure why lost disconnect event on this board. Thanks.
I just tried with external power source, with different devices (keyboards, Quail 
) but get the same bad results.
From your last message, it seems related to the board. I knew I was lucky…
Please share your findings, I will put our board on hold until it’s solved, in case there are some hardware changes needed.
Also… once the device is disconnected, the board hangs and is not seen anymore in VS or TinyCLR config.
Perhaps a hard-fault in the firmware ?
If it can help.
This is in the works and will be fixed in the next release.
Thank you
Are you saying that this is “only” a firmware issue ? No hardware involved ?
