LPC2478 with two USB host and LCD?

Started by ostehaps01 April 8, 2010
Hallo

I have a question I cant find the solution for reading the manual.
Im using a LPC2478. Im interfacing to a LCD display and therby loosing the USB_PWRD1 and USB_OVERCR1 to LCD signals.

But is it still posiible to operate the USB host block of the LPC2478?

Is it still possible to use USB Port 1 without these signals (As far I know the two signals is used by USB Host block)?

Something that can be done (External IC's, work arounds?) to have 2x USB host and LCD?

Yes, I'm doing just that.

Hallo Timo

So you are saying that USB port 1 can be operated without the USB_OVRCR1 and USN_PWRD1 signal configured and connected?

I do have problems getting the USB port 1 working. Port 2 works fine.

Yes - definitely at least hardwarewise. I can't recall anymore, what software
hacks I had to do, but I'm definitely using USB memory sticks on USB1 and both
PWRD and OVRCR signals are used with LCD.

Do you use the PWRD signal now? If I recall right, PWRD signal was actually
inverted and I got the thing (different hardware with LPC2468) working only by
not configuring the pin as PWRD. It is possible that I made a wrong conclusion
though and it may be part and revision dependent.

As I can see, its noted in the LPC2468 errata sheet that there is a problem with the USB_PWRDx pins, but in the errata for LPC2478 there is not?

But in host mode, what is the usage of USB_PWRDx pins? Isnt it just a port power status. So actual it isnt that importent? (Just like over current). Just for SW usage..

In device mode its the actual Vbus from the host.
