I'm using @an75779 UVC sample code.

At first, UVC is captured from the application and then the capture is forcibly stopped.

Next, I start the capture again, the following error may occur:

"CyU3PDmaMultiChannelSetXfer = 0x43"

At the reception timing of CY_FX_UVC_STREAM_EVENT timing.

If an error occurs, the firmware must be reset (powered off).

1. What is the cause of this phenomenon?

2. What are the factors when the return value of CyU3PDmaMultiChannelSetXfer is 0x43?

best regards.

Hello,

A1. Yes. After the default streaming mode is decided, the UVC driver issues a COMMIT request.

Please refer to "2.3.2 UVC-Specific Requests" in AN75779 for more information.

A2. Yes. The camera may be disconnected from the Host, the USB Host program may close, or the USB Host may issue a reset or suspend request to FX3.

These actions trigger the CY_FX_UVC_STREAM_ABORT_EVENT event.

It is described in "5.8 Terminating the Video Streaming" in AN75779.

A3. I guess there are issues on your added code.

When UVC application stops, CY_FX_UVC_STREAM_ABORT_EVENT is called as per my above answer.

Then, CyFxUvcApplnStop() function is called and in this function, some of the APIs are described for stopping its Application. Obviously, CyU3PDmaMultiChannelReset() is included in this function.

I checked your main Thread code.

Kindly do place the EP in NAK mode before invoking cleaning up APIs (CyU3PUsbFlushEp, CyU3PDmaMultiChannelReset, etc.)

Kindly do not use CyU3PGpifSMStart() if the GPIF state is not in the idle state.

Hopefully, you will more refer to our AN75779 and consider to use our example code further.

For your reference, I will attach my document which described basic flow on AN75779 in Japanese.

Hello,

A1. A2.

Error code 0x43 stands for CY_U3P_ERROR_ALREADY_STARTED which means that "An object/module that is already active is being started."

CyU3PDmaMultiChannelSetXfer() API is used for preparing Multi-channel DMA for data transfer. If specified channel has already prepared, it may be shown.

I have a question to solve its query.

Q. I have a concern about your modification. What kind of modification have you done on AN75779? AN75779 example firmware does not call CyU3PDmaMultiChannelSetXfer() when CY_FX_UVC_STREAM_EVENT event is set.

If I misunderstood what you are saying, please clarify more.

Thanks & Best regards,

Hirotaka Takayama

Dear Hirotaka Takayama

Thank for your comment.

Below is our "UVCAppThread_Entry" source code.

Adding LED control to indicate capture or stop via GPIO.(Modify original UVC sample code.)

I have some question.

Q1. If the capture start instruction is executed from the UVC application in the capture stop state

(= DMA transfer stop state), will CY_FX_UVC_STREAM_EVENT occur?

Q2. CY_FX_UVC_STREAM_ABORT_EVENT if capture stop is instructed by the UVC application regardless        of whether the capture is in progress Will occur?

Q3. The previous question interprets that if you start capture during capture, there will be a problem.
       The operation from the UVC application is First capture start-> Stop capture-> Second capture start is in         progress. At this time, the second and subsequent capture starts will result in an error.

       In order to solve this problem, will the "CyU3PDmaMultiChannelReset function" be called when the stop           instruction for the first capture is executed?

      *I suspect the problem of the internal variable “clearFeatureRqtReceived” we added.

Best Regards
