Hi all,

I have a strange thing happening that I am unable to explain with the USB (Serial).
If I halt the system with the debugger and then continue, everything continues as it should.
But it I halt the system, send data at the same time over USB (from the computer to ChibiOS), and then continue I get a SysHalt in usbStartTransmitI.

I have not seen this before, so I loaded an old firmware from 3.0 and then this does not happen (running 16.1.4 now).
Is this a sign that I am doing something wrong or is it by design something that 3.0 did not catch?

EDIT:
To clarify, it still works after starting the program again.
But the first USB packet that comes after the program was started again causes the SysHalt.

Hi,

It is possible that the CPU is unable the USB request in time because halted, there is a finite time to empty the USB queues. Then an error is triggered, could you inspect the error message?

Hi Giovanni!

This are the 2 messages + backtrace from GDB:

As I thought, that driver is something that should not be halted while a transfer is in progress, the HW requires that FIFOs must be served immediately.

Thanks for checking!
Then I don't need to worry
