The Freescale i.MX28 BootROM USB recovery mode implements the USB HID protocol, yet the global item tag report size is 128. Linux checks if this is 96 as of now, see [1]. This causes Linux to refuse to communicate with this device, making it impossible to use the recovery mode.
This is not a standard HID device per se, but rather a software emulation implemented within the BootROM code and realized through USB OTG-capable port switched to device mode present on the device. Previous attempt to discuss this issue dates back to 2011, see [2]. There has been not much response. Also noteworthy is the [3], where there seems to be a pointing device that has issue similar to this one. The tool making use of the USB recovery mode is available at [4].
