Hi
I have successfully opened and executed the example program USBX Host Class Mass Storage with the Module Guide R11AN0173EU0101.
I have successfully executed this program in a S5D9 PK with the SSP 1.4.0 and it works well.
Now I'm trying to do the same on a proprietary electronic board with the micro Synergy S3 R7FS3A6783A01CFM.
I create the thread and add the FileX module in USB Mass Storage correctly. As it is an S3 I can only use USB Controller Selection USBFS.
I configure all the modules in a manner as similar as possible to the project with the S5D9, except that the memory of USBX Pool Memory Size can only be a maximum of 17000, since if I put more it does not compile me because it does not enter RAM.
The problem is that in execution, in the "void ux_host_init0 (void)" function within the common_data.c source, the / ** Register to USB host controller. * / UINT status_g_ux_host_0 = ux_host_stack_hcd_register ((UCHAR *) "g_sf_el_ux_hcd_fs_0", g_sf_el_ux_hcd_fs_0_initialize, R_USBFS_BASE, UX_SYNERGY_CONTROLLER); returns error 0x12: UX_MEMORY_INSUFFICIENT.
How should I do the configuration to be able to work with the USB and be able to read and write files on a pendrive?
Thank in advance.

Hi Hanton-
The response from Express Logic
"USBX will have a hard time running on the host with less than 32k of RAM. there is just too much it needs.”
Now that I know this, I looked at the SSP 1.5.0 release notes and see that the S3A6 isn't listed as supporting Host Frameworks.
I should have checked there first. There isn't enough memory available for the framework and application code.

Hi Karol No, it does not require long names, with 8.3 it would be enough. How can I reduce USBX Mass Storage Host + FileX to 16KB of RAM?
What's more, it would be useful if the file system only allows me to read, I do not need writing at the moment. Thanks Hanton
Hi Hanton,
Please find attached a project for minimal USB Mass Storage Host implementation with FileX: s3_dk_ux_mass_host_mini_1_3_3.zip It may be possible to reduce memory required even further. I've defined following preprocessor symbols:
* UX_HOST_SIDE_ONLY* UX_MAX_CLASS_DRIVER=2 (you can set this to 1, I intended for my project to support another class)
Additionally, FileX Source has following settings modified:
* Max Long Name Len = 13* Max Last Name Len = 13* Max Sector Cache = 2* Max Fat Cache = 8* Media Search Cache = Disabled* Media Statistics = Disabled
USBX Source overrides default settings with following:
* Maximum Host Controllers = 1* Maximum Devices = 1* Maximum TDs = 32* Maximum Isochronous TDs = 1
And for USBX Host Class Mass Storage Source:
* Maximum number of SCSI logical units = 1* Maximum number of storage media instance = 1* Storage memory size in bytes for FileX used for data transfer = 1024* Maximum transfer size in bytes in one BOT data-transport phase = 1024* Stack size for the Mass Storage Class internal thread = 512
This allows project to successfully initialize and run with USBX Pool Memory Size set to 15360. Project is for DK-S3A7 (as it has a USB host port) but will easily migrate to S3A6 board.
