Details

[NOTE: I haven't experienced this bug myself, I'm just adding a task to collect info about it]

It has been confirmed that HID mode (fully enabled in 3.4, but also present in 3.3, so this affects both of those releases) causes OS X 10.4 to fail to mount a PP Sansa when in Rockbox USB mode.

Building a version of Rockbox without HID support is known to fix the problem.

Some examples from a OS X 10.4 syslog experiencing this problem:

USBF: 6214.718 AppleUSBEHCI[0x2724800]::Found a transaction past the completion deadline on bus 75, timing out!
USBF: 6225.728 AppleUSBEHCI[0x2724800]::DoIOTransfer - error 0xe000404f queueing request

Reason for closing:  Fixed
Additional comments about closing:  FS #10704 adds an option to disable USB HID. Doing so will enumerate the DAP as a regular (non composite) USB device, therefore avoid this OS bug. A documentation note advising to disable USB HID if this bug occurs has been added to the manual (would appreciate if someone review it).

The attached patch makes it possible to easily build a version without HID during MSC connections, while keeping HID during charge-only connections.

Apply, and build with -DNO_MSC_HID

This shouls also provide hints on where to add a setting for this :)

I compared two logs given by developers, and got to some conclusions.

Source: http://www.rockbox.org/irc/log-20091010#13:42:24, and I can't find the origin of the other one).

USB Product ID 0x7421 belongs to e200
USB Product ID 0x7451 belongs to c200

And reading the reference at:
www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/HID1_11.pdf
HID1_11.pdf, E.2 Configuration Descriptor, page 77

I can see that the Configuration Descriptor is different. The e200 (0x7421) has the wTotalLength swapped, i.e. 0x3900 instead of 0x0039, although actually 0x0039 bytes are sent, which is the actual descriptor length.
I think this is the problem. The question is why does the DAP sends this wrong value? Maybe it's an issue in the host itself?

OS X 10.4 users - please try whether r23157 fix this issue

I have the same problem using Ubuntu Linux 9.04 (Jaunty) fully patched. Sansa is reognized and works as HID device, but not as mass storage.

Kaspar: different issue, that's an ubuntu bug. See http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/LibGphoto2Bug

Hi,
I am an OS X 10.4 user who is affected by this bug, and I tried the latest build (r23284-091020) and it didn't fix this problem.

I get some error messages in the syslog. I'll post them here in a minute.

with a bunch more timeouts.

Thanks for working on this.
