NDLR USB not recognized by iConnectivity MIDI4+ host
#1
Exclamation 
Hello there, just got my brand new NDLR and was very excited to connect it to my iConnectivity MIDI 4+ so I can integrate it into the studio. Sadly, it's not recognized. This is an issue for me as I am entirely out of DIN ports to run it through. 

I saw the thread on the MioXL not working either but I figured I'd start a new one since I didn't want this additional incompatibility to get lost in the shuffle.

We were just contacted by iConnectivity to see if there's anything we can do about working in their host ports. Its been this way for a couple of years, so I wouldn't expect a fix to happen over night. Hopefully we can come up with something.

Yep, I contacted them directly. They mentioned the chap previously handling this had left the firm but didn't transition the issue to anybody else. Hopefully they'll keep moving on it!

Hey @Darryl, wondering if you all have seen any progress on this so far? Have you been able to send them a unit to debug with or anything?

This is still a work in progress. We sent them detailed info and easy to follow instructions to configure a teensy microprocessor to show up identically via usb midi for their testing. I'll talk with Darryl later today and see if there's been any further word.

I ran into the same problem today. This is not an iconnectivity issue, since it does not work on the USB host ports of my Roland Fantom also. I am not that deep into USB programming, but there seems to be a difference in USB ID or type if either a computer or a embedded device with USB is connected. The NDLR works on all kinds of computers, even my old Powerbook G4 and my iPad without extra supply, but not on any standalone hardware with USB host port.

There must be something in the Teensy USB library that is not configured for use with devices that only accept certain USB classes. I will check that with a friend of mine, who works on the Arduino MIDI library.

I investigated this a bit further and ran tdd, an USB descriptor tool. This shows that the NDLRs Teensy is not configured as it should be (wrong USB interface type/class).

Here is the dump from the NDLR (i have marked missing and different information in red):

Sorry for the long posting. Hope this is of any help. Please note that a bootloader has its own descriptor data set, so it can be declared as mass storage or other class for uploading firmware etc. This is how several companies handle that. I can provoide bootloader USB readouts from my iConnectivity interfaces if these are of any interest.

I investigated this a bit further and ran tdd, an USB descriptor tool. This shows that the NDLRs Teensy is not configured as it should be (wrong USB interface type/class).

Here is the dump from the NDLR (i have marked missing and different information in red):

Sorry for the long posting. Hope this is of any help. Please note that a bootloader has its own descriptor data set, so it can be declared as mass storage or other class for uploading firmware etc. This is how several companies handle that. I can provoide bootloader USB readouts from my iConnectivity interfaces if these are of any interest.

Hey, this is really interesting, I will pass this data on to Steve and perhaps he will know what is going on here better than me. Hopefully this will be helpful.
Thank you microbug!

Actually, looking at that dump, my guess is that the use of the Interface Association Descriptor is what might be tripping up these embedded hosts. Per the spec (https://www.usb.org/sites/default/files/...de_r10.pdf) :

Quote:There exists a legacy issue for new devices that use the IAD (implying interface level binding to device drivers as opposed to device-level binding) when connected to systems where USB system software does not understand the IAD. Although the IAD will be ignored, the device may not work as expected because the USB system software will not properly bind the interfaces with drivers. (emphasis mine)

I believe the reliance of the serial interface on this IAD is possibly the problem. The other interface coding actually looks correct (the device describes three interfaces, two of which are linked by the IAD and form the serial port, and the other interface is correctly describing a MIDI device. 

So, things the NDLR is probably doing wrong or problematically for embedded hosts:
1. Not specifying itself as powered (unlikely to be a major problem, but it is a bug). 
2. The use of the IAD descriptor in the serial port implementation (CDC version 1.2, rather than 1.1.0 as the BCD USB encodes) is likely to trip up a LOT of older (Full-speed only) embedded libraries which use version 1.0 of the class compliance protocols. IMO this should be removed and replaced with a single-interface CDC 1.0-compliant serial port implementation.

At worst, perhaps the IAD and CDC interfaces could be moved to the last two interfaces on the unit rather than the first two. This might give the MIDI interface parsers a chance to lock on correctly even if they abort parsing the rest of the descriptors. Worth a shot at least.

Edit: I think that iConnectivity should absolutely be ignoring descriptors they don't handle, and continue parsing interfaces until they see a MIDI one, though. This doesn't excuse their part of this, but it does indicate why it's not all their fault - NDLR should easily be hostable by any embedded USB host out there that follows the 1.0 specs or later, and the fact that it isn't is, fundamentally a bug on the NDLR, not anything else. Fortunately it looks easily fixable, although the team might have to give up or re-implement their precious serial port (but you know my thoughts on that, too: use JTAG/SWD for developer debugging and forget serial ports for that purpose, and use Sysex for the API, poof problem solved and you'll probably save some flash too).

Edit 2: Jesse, can you share with us the Teensy instructions you sent iConnectivity for building an identical-looking USB target device? I don't teensy but it might help some of those of us who do to do some parallel investigation. This is clearly an issue for a lot of your users here.

Thank you for this detailed analysis, there is so much helpful data here, I don't even know where to begin. I will pass this along to Steve.
I will also post the instructions we sent along to iConnectivity as soon as I dig them up.
