• Message Pipes have a defined USB format. They are host controlled, which are initiated by a request sent from the host. Data is then transferred in the desired direction, dictated by the request. Therefore message pipes allow data to flow in both directions but will only support control transfers. Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
- Stream Pipe - Unidirectional - Full & high speed modes only - Maximum bulk packet size - 8, 16, 32 or 64bytes (Full), up to 512bytes (High) - Large Data Operation ex) Print, Scanner, Still Camera Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
However if an error occurred, it should issue a STALL or if it is still busy processing data, it should issue a NAK asking the host to retry the status phase later. Figure 6-26: Status Out Stage Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
A bulk transfer is considered complete when it has transferred the exact amount of data requested, transferred a packet less than the maximum endpoint size of transferred a zero-length packet. Figure 6-27 shows Bulk Transaction concept. Figure 6-27: Bulk Transaction Model Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
ACK informing the host it has successfully received the data. If the endpoint buffer is not empty due to processing a previous packet, then the function returns an NAK. However if the endpoint has had an error and its halt bit has been set, it returns a STALL. Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
Note: USB devices perform a reset operation in response to reset signaling on the upstream facing port. When reset signaling has completed, the USB device is reset. Figure 6-29: Enumeration Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
When a USB device is attached to or removed from the USB, the host uses a process known as bus enumeration to identify and manage the device state changes necessary. When a USB device is attached to a powered port, the following actions are taken: Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
When a USB device is attached, the host is responsible for assigning a unique address to the device. This is done after the device has been reset by the host, and the hub port where the device is attached has been enabled. Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
Completion of the reset operation is signaled when the port’s status change is set to indicate that the port is now enabled 6.3.6.3 Standard USB Device Requests All USB devices respond to requests from the host on the device’s Default Control Pipe. These requests are Spinpoint M9TU-USB 3.0 Product Manual REV 1.0...
