ADB over USB doesn't work on i.MX53

[Zach Pfeffer]

On https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/staging-imx53-11.09-release/#build=1
Plugging a USB cable into J3 and running adb doesn't work.

Affects 11.09, 11.10 release.

[Ying-Chun Liu (paulliu)]

Paste the result of "ls /sys/devices/platform/"
could helps.

[Zach Pfeffer (pfefferz)]

The console doesn't work, so I can't run commands.

[Haitao Zhang (minipanda)]

Please see attached config file for kernel 3.1-rc3, to configure USB OTG port working in gadget mode

[Ying-Chun Liu (paulliu)]

Haitao Thanks.

We still don't have enough information here. But it is worth to check the current kernel build config with the above one.

[Abhishek Paliwal (abhishek-paliwal)]

Same issue is observed with iMX53 Hardware(Rev G) with build:
https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/stage-imx53-11.10-release/

Console works but Unable to get adb working with USB cable connected to J3 port.

[Fathi Boudra (fboudra)]

@Haitao/Eric: any progress?
See also https://bugs.launchpad.net/linaro-android/+bug/859896/comments/5

[Zach Pfeffer (pfefferz)]

Think this is fixed on ICS.

[Bernhard Rosenkraenzer (berolinux)]

The problem here is that CONFIG_USB_ANDROID is disabled in the kernel.

Unfortuantely enabling CONFIG_USB_ANDROID causes the kernel to crash on startup, so the workaround is to put the USB port into "normal" mode.

[Haitao Zhang (minipanda)]

There is a kernel configuration issue once build CONFIG_USB_ANDROID into kernel,
CONFIG_USB_EHCI_ARC_OTG and CONFIG_USB_OTG_WAKELOCK
please use my attached kernel config for build andorid kernel with ADB support on iMX53 LOCO board,
another patch for workaround ADB driver with ARC_GADGET driver will be attached later

[Haitao Zhang (minipanda)]

update kernel config file without verbose USB debug output

[Haitao Zhang (minipanda)]

The attached big patch will fix varies bugs for enable ADB working on iMX53

[Bernhard Rosenkraenzer (berolinux)]

Fixed in staging-panda 130

[Botao (botao-sun)]

Observed on the 12.01 RC build:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/staging-imx53-12.01-release/#build=6

Although the adbd process is there:

127|root@android:/ # ps | busybox grep adbd
root 1066 1 1372 152 ffffffff 0000825c S /sbin/adbd
root@android:/ #

the adb connection still can't be established:

noname@noname-t420:~/work/android-sdk-linux_x86/platform-tools$ sudo ./adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *

[Bernhard Rosenkraenzer (berolinux)]

The fix had to be backed out because enabling CONFIG_USB_ANDROID broke USB input devices (considered more important than ADB) for now.
Will try again after the next kernel update.

Issue is also valid for:

For iMX53, observed on:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/imx53-ics-gcc46-freescalelt-stable-open-12.04-release/#build=3

[Guodong Xu (guodong-xu)]

3 USB ports in iMX53 Quick Start boards:
- Upper USB Host (on J2, close to RJ45),
- Lower USB Host (on J2, close to PCB board), and
- Micro-B USB device (J3)

Upper USB Host is connected to USB 2.0 module of i.MX53. However,
Lower USB Host and Micro-B USB device are both connected to USB 2.0 OTG module of i.MX53. When a 5V supply is seen on the micro-B connector (from the USB Host), the i.MX53 processor will configure the USB 2.0 OTG module for device mode, which will prevent the lower USB Host port from operating correctly.

Due to hardware limitation, in current software design, the following configuration is supported:
Upper USB Host port and Micro-B USB device (J3) can work simultaneously. Meaning you can connect a USB keyboard to Upper USB Host port, and connect ADB debugging to Micro-B USB device port (J3). (Again, Lower USB Host port cannot operate.)

Bero,

Could you please let us know that you can accept this solution? If yes, please integrate Haitao's patch (above) and verify, and we can close this bug.

Or, please wait for our next release of i.MX53 kernel update (kernel v3.4 based), and re-androidization it.

I see this fail on this build:

https://android-build.linaro.org/builds/~linaro-android/imx53-ics-gcc47-freescalelt-stable-open-12.05-release/#build=2

After letting the unit boot completely (this is not the first time the unit has been booted) and then plugging in USB into J3 I get the following attached log. Note the error simply repeats for awhile.
