STM32F769I USB-HS MSC gives low read/write speed

[amit_kotal]

Hi,

I am using a STM32F769I Disco board for testing the speeds of the High Speed USB as a MSC. At present, the system is working as expected as a MSC over uSD. However, my concern is with respect to the read write speed of 2.5MB/s which seems to be very low for High Speed Applications. I have used the HAL Libraries and ST provided Examples for the firmware.

At the uSD side, I am able to get a speed of 6 MB/s, but when the read write is over HS-USB as MSC, the speed I get is around 2.5MB/s.

Would be very helpful if any one can provide any insights.

Thank You,

Amit K

I have similar issue with UVC class devices.

In my project I met the same bandwidth limit

In my case this limit 10 megabit per second ( same as 2.5 megabyte per second )

USB HS has 125 uS microframe duration

isochronous max packet size is 1024 bytes

If to send one packet per microframe - we exactly meet the limit 2.5 MB/s

USB HS protocol has an option to send up to 3 packets per microframe which can increase bandwidth up to 3 times

However, it requires some additional coding ( i think )

hi @YKorc.1​ 

I am interested in implementing UVC device on STM32F7- that is, I need my device to act as a web cam.

CubeMx doesn't seems to support UVC and I wasn't able to find any examples.

Can you please give me some pointers how you did it?

thanks,

Arnon

Hi YKorc,

So as per your analysis, the speed issue is at the USB side of the device? If I am not wrong, then this will be the same speed one can achieve if writing directly to a Pen drive as a Host.?
