USB MSC Corruption

Hello,

I have been experiencing corruption using a similar implementation to the USBD_MSC example. Even after the various SDK fixes suggested to the same problem outlined in the forum.

I have edited the example to use a repeating timer with the scheduler to write an incrementing index, and two random numbers to a log_data.txt file.

i.e. sprintf(log_record, "%d,%d,%d\r\n", record_number,rand(),rand());

2,16521,11936

3,6713,17489

etc...

However, randomly in the log, symbols such as ' ' will replace anywhere between 8 and 18ish lines of data with symbols.

Using FATFS, the first few lines of a log was randomly being deleted/replaced with these non-characters, and symbols.

Upon switching to exFAT, as suggested by another user, the corruption still occurs, but somewhere in the middle of the log.

I have included the application for the nRF52840 DK with my function 'log_data_write_handler'.

Running this on the PCA10056 will create a log every 500ms. It is very reproducable that I have corruption happen anywhere between 200 and 1000 logs in. The corruption is shown in corrupt_log.txt by line 854.

Any help would be appreciated as the same problem is occuring on an audit trail for a production unit.

Thanks,

  • Hello,

    Could you please specify what SDK you are using?

    Can you check the return value of f_printf, and see if you get any deviation when the broken records are written?

    BR,

    Edvin

  • Edvin, 

    Testing done on SDK 15.2.

    I tested f_printf for a return of <0 and did not get a breakpoint when corruption occurred on the 855th record. 

    I had also checked for non-printable characters and ram corruption with no success.

    It would appear the problem is deeper than that.

  • Hello Jeff,

    I haven't found the source yet, but I thought I should let you know that I found a mysterious pattern, and it is not at all as random as it seems.

    I swapped the random numbers with some constant numbers, and noticed that it happened at the same point every time. I also noticed that if I increased the number of bytes per line, it happened sooner.

    I found out that it always happened after the 13825th byte written, which also matches your log. Since this happens every time, and on different chips, it seems that it is not related to USB at all, but probably the external flash chip on the DK. I still have to find out why this number is so special. Maybe it is very easily explained when I look into the flash chip spec, but I haven't done that yet. I just now figured it out the last 30 minutes.

    I just thought I should let you know that I have some progress, although I don't have the solution yet. You can of course, skip these bytes from 13825 (0x3601) and to the place where it returns to normal, or maybe you don't intend to use this flash chip at all in the end. I don't know. I will either way have to take this further, and I will keep you updated.

    Best regards,

    Edvin

  • Edvin,
    I really appreciate the update.

    To give some more insight, on my production units I am using a Winbond W25Q64JVSSIQ 8MB flash chip and experiencing a similar phenomenon. I ran a test writing 100 bytes at a time on this device. I have observed the same conclusion of byte 13825 starting a corruption. My misunderstanding of randomness must have stemmed from my implementation having variable log lengths, making this byte write seem to occur on different arbitrary line indexes.

    Although possible, It would seem unlikely that two different vendors have an implementation of FLASH that would present the errors.

    This is very good insight into the problem, and it is a great foot forward to understanding the problem!
    Much appreciation to the continued support,
    Jeff

  • Hello Jeff,

    Sorry for the late reply. I have been out of office for some days.

    After some more research, I agree. The issue does not occur when using other methods of writing to the flash chip (the QSPI example from the SDK). 

    I will continue to dig and try to find the source. And of course I will keep you updated. It would be great if you also let me know if you find something new. In the mean time, I will keep this ticket open, until we find the source.

    BR,

    Edvin

  • Edvin,

    I appreciate the tests you have set up. I haven't made any further progress on this.
    Any update from your / Nordic's side?

    Thanks,
    Jeff

  • Hello Jeff,

    I am sorry for the late reply. I have created a private ticket regarding this issue, so our SDK team will look at this. I haven't heard anything specific yet, except that they are looking into it. I will keep you updated.
