Hello.

I use an example "uvc camera" - denebola. it works well.

But on some computers, when connected to a USB3 port, it is defined as a USB2 device.

Tell me, why does this happen?

Is this the wrong setting of my computers or camera? What can be done?

Hi,

Please refer to the section 2.1 of FX3_SDK_Troubleshooting_Guide.pdf present in the following path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Cypress\EZ-USB FX3 SDK\1.3\doc\firmware

- Since you are using denebola kit, FX3 board design guidelines would be okay.

- So, please do the following,

Import USBBulkSourceSink example, and change lpp mode as: io_cfg.lppMode   = CY_U3P_IO_MATRIX_LPP_DEFAULT;

Now load this firmware in the PC where the device is enumerating as USB2 instead of USB3.

- Now share the UART logs that you get during enumeration.

- Generally, FX3 tries for 3.0 enumeration for three times. In case of any signal integrity issues/ link establishment failures, the device will fallback to USB2 mode - which is happening in your case.

The UART logs mentioned above will help us understand the reason for this fallback.

Regards,

Hemanth

I noticed an interesting thing.

On these computers, and the example USBBulkSourceSinkLED also defines how to connect to USB2 port instead USB3 connection.

Probably it is necessary to update the drivers of the motherboard on the computer for USB ports.

Both identical ?

But in any case one cdc port is defined as 2 serial ports.

But in terminal program (terminal.exe) I see only one virtual com port (com25).

It's very interesting!
