LibUsb error: device address collision with root hub


Im having issues with this line of code. I was able to successfully open the device and send .

Sending:

retCode = LibUsb.bulkTransfer(devHandle, endpointSend, buf, iBuf, timeout);

Receiving:

retCode = LibUsb.bulkTransfer(devHandle, endpointReceive, messageBuf, iBuf, timeout);   
logger.debug("Receiving Message Status: "+retCode);

Output:

For Sending, I got a response of 0 but in receiving, I got -7.

Receiving Message Status: -7

libusb: error [init_device] program assertion failed: device address collision with root hub

Other logs

receiveMessage messageBuf: java.nio.DirectByteBuffer[pos=0 lim=1000 cap=1000]
receiveMessage iBuf: java.nio.HeapIntBuffer[pos=1 lim=1 cap=1]

public static final int ERROR_PIPE  -9
public static final int ERROR_TIMEOUT   -7

sometimes it is -9 when I disconnect and connect the device but usually -7. Since I have been playing with the timeout for a while now, I'm beginning to suspect that it is about the pipe. How do I resolve a -9 Error Code?


Solution

  • sometimes it is -9 when I disconnect

    Should always be -9, as a disconnect clears the USB handle inside the kernel.

    For Sending, I got a response of 0 but in receiving, I got -7.

    That is the regular ERROR_TIMEOUT, which may or may not be an error at all.

    The basic meaning is just: The USB device did not send any data on the endpoint during the timeout period.

    In the (example) case of an USB2UART chip, the ERROR_TIMEOUT would just mean that there were no bytes received on the UART RX line.

    Fun fact: LibUsb.bulkTransfer() can receive zero bytes from a USB device, and would not return an error code in this case. USB bulk endpoints actually allow that (and it is different from the "no data at all" case).
