Why when there's another way to solve this issue without creating a new logic that only works within 1 second limit. > >> 2) This function __dwc3_gadget_target_frame_elapsed() should have >> comments for what it does.

You need to provide comments for that. It's not obvious that DWC3_EVENT_PRAM_SOFFN / 2 is around 1 second. > >> 3) If this check fails, then it will do DWC3_ALIGN_FRAME() at least twice. >> The isoc transfer will start 1 more interval into the future than it needs >> to. >> > If the interval is one, 1 more interval should be more reasonable because the > core always fetch the trb one frame ahead. Did it fail with your setup when you test with interval of 1? It didn't fail from my testing setup. Your check applies for all intervals and not just interval of 1. Also, the databook doesn't mention this limitation that you have to do 2 intervals into the future if the service interval is 1. Regardless, if the __dwc3_gadget_target_frame_elapsed() passes for service interval of 1, then you'd only do DWC3_ALIGN_FRAME() once. This is different than what you said/wanted to do. > >> Also, I think the role of this check should be from the controller as it has >> more information and its own logic to decide if the selected future uframe >> has elapsed. > Yes, agree, but I think if the sw can be used to do the same thing and more > effective, Why not? > No. The SW cannot do the same thing. As Felipe mentioned previously, __dwc3_gadget_get_frame() can only get a 14-bit frame number. The controller keeps track of the frame number with at least 16 bits. It has more information and can work with larger service intervals. Can you test with Felipe's patches to see if they work for you? We can come back and review if there are still issues.
