Hey! I asked this first on netbsd-users, but since there were no takers, I decided to try this crowd. I have an MNT Reform2 laptop, and it has something called an LCP (It's a Cortex M0 I think) whose firmware can be updated by turning a switch on the board that enables an internal USB port to simulate an umass device. The procedure is then that you overwrite that file to update the firmware. I tried turning the switch and plugging it into a my trusty X220 laptop and sure enough it found a umass device and attached an sd to it, however it immediately showed an autoconfiguration error with error = 5 (EIO, I presume) and any attempt to talk to the device just yields Input/Output error. I then tried it on my fairly recent gaming computer and it also does the same thing there. Plugging it in in windows immediately mounts the usb device (I guess it's a FAT partition of some kind) and shows the expected firmware.bin file on it. Here's the relevant bits of dmesg from the gaming system: [ 1.142061] uhub3 at usb3: NetBSD (0x0000) xHCI root hub (0x0000), class 9/0, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 0 [ 1.142061] uhub3: 6 ports with 6 removable, self powered ...

Having had no luck I went diving into the linux kernel to see if they have a quirk for it, but found nothing for device id 0x1fc9/0x000b. Clearly something is going wrong, any thoughts? I guess there's some extra usb debuggin information available, and I can boot a kernel with it and see what happens if it would help. Staffan
