USB performance: Isochronous (audio or video)

[M33P]

Hello.

I am starting a new thread (separate to USB redux) to attempt to collate the various issues people have with isochronous devices.

Isochronous transactions in USB are for types of data which need guaranteed timing but no guarantee as to the correctness of the data (truncated or otherwise).

Typically, these devices exclusively use isochronous transactions:

• * Webcams
  * USB-TV sticks
  * USB video capture or sound capture devices
  * USB "sound cards"

I have limited isochronous hardware available to me - but I do have one very powerful tool - a crappy £4 webcam bought on Ebay. This webcam only offers the following transfer modes:

Code: Select all

Pixel format: YUYV (YUV 4:2:2 (YUYV); MIME type: video/x-raw-yuv)
  Frame size: 640x480
    Frame rates: 30
//  Size:614400B
// Rate: 18000KiB/s

  Frame size: 352x288
    Frame rates: 30
//  Size: 202752B
//  Rate: 5940KiB/s

  Frame size: 320x240
    Frame rates: 30
//  Size: 153600B
//  Rate: 4500KiB/s

  Frame size: 176x144
    Frame rates: 30
//  Size: 50688B
//  Rate: 1485KiB/s

  Frame size: 160x120
    Frame rates: 30
//  Size: 38400B
//  Rate: 1125KiB/s

i.e. only supports uncompressed video transfers with variable resolution - this essentially gives me a giant bandwidth dial with which to change the amount of isochronous traffic on the bus. I have found that smaller transfers typically complete OK, but larger transfers will sporadically fail and there is a snowball's chance in hell of a 640x480 image being transferred.

Smarter products will support multiple sound/video compression or format modes. Webcams will typically support both mjpeg and raw (if they are uvc devices) and USB audio devices will support multiple bitrates and resolution depths.

Could you please post

- what didn't work (from a default raspbian image)
- what did work, and the steps you took to achieve this
If feeling more adventurous, these commands may be of use (as root):
For webcams:

Code: Select all

echo 0xFF > /sys/module/uvcvideo/parameters/trace

Webcams also have the very useful uvcdynctrl package - which if you type uvcdynctrl -f will list supported modes.

For USB audio devices:

Code: Select all

Ask the developer to give you more debug options. Or try a different value for the snd-usb-audio module parameters nrpacks and async_unlink. 

These options will print lots of spam (useful information) to the kernel log, accessed from a command prompt on the pi by typing dmesg (or for attaching as a file, dmesg > blah.txt).

Please attach a lsusb -v output as well.

C-Media based sound cards fail to capture correctly. USB data loss,
around 1% of the data is silently dropped. A USB device which
delivers a measured (on a PC) 47999.1 samples/sec, when used
on the Pi, delivers an erratic 47500 +/- 300 samples/sec.

Period size, buffer size, nrpacks settings make no difference.
Problem seems to be more or less independent of sample rate.

This behaviour on latest Raspbian (2012-12-16-wheezy),
and Archlinux (archlinux-hf-2012-09-18).

Prevents my application from running. Hope it can be fixed!

My async usb audio class 1 hifi dac (Audiolab MDAC) also fails to work.

Async usb audio requires two isochronous connections - an outbound one for the audio stream and a return one which provides feedback on rate. I've seen problems on other embedded arm devices with 1.1 dacs including mine due to the limitation of embedded transaction translators, but with Pi I believe its the underlying loss of packets which cause the problem. The period is every 1ms for the outbound pipe and one every something like 32 for the sync pipe depending on the dac. Devices often also support HID so this creates additional usb endpoints to enable remote control of the host. In the cause of my MDAC the combined requirements mean usb can't schedule this with the usb port forced to 1.1 rates.

What I've found with some arm SoCs before is that the embedded TT is unable to process an outbound split transaction in the same 1ms frame as an inbound split transaction. Unfortunately for audio rates an outbound transaction is required every 1ms hence they don't work. [this is fixed for the other cases by an external high speed hub to bring a real TT] I don't think this is an issue with Pi, but I'd be interested if you know the capability of the TT within the internal hub.

Happy to help test/provide more data for this type of device.

Hello M33P,

I've been running trials with several different configurations. I'm running Wheezy 2012-12-16 (3.6.11+ PREEMPT Tue Jan 1 16:33:22 GMT 2013) on a rev.2 board. Here are some logs from earlier trials - it's not running right now but I should have time tomorrow to run those commands you posted.

These are all from my first set of trials - a powered, Staples-brand (rebranded Belkin, I think) seven port hub with a Microsoft LifeCam Cinema and a D-Link DWA-160 A2 Wi-Fi adapter.

I'm using the software package 'motion' just to dump two frames per second to a CIFS mount (another RPi, actually), although I was seeing the same results when dumping to the SD card. The camera is capturing YUYV format at 960x544.

Over five separate trials with the same configuration the result was the same but the time to failure was anywhere between 60 and 747 seconds.

The kernel log and dmesg don't have anything that doesn't show up in syslog or messages.

In four out of the five trials, the Wi-Fi dongle was re-enumerated after the hiccup - only one time did it fail to come back up and had to be physically removed and reinserted, at which point it came back up and the corresponding light lit back up on the hub.

In all five trials, the camera was not re-enumerated after the hiccup, but would be found again if it was removed and reinserted, and the corresponding light came on then too.

I also found that if the RPi was just rebooted after the hiccup, it would still not find the camera again unless either power was removed from the RPi and hub or the camera was removed and reattached.

I hope this helps, let me know if there's anything you'd like me to try.

Further to the USB audio capture dropped data...

Booting with kernel option

dwc_otg.speed=1

cures the problem. Capture works reliably then.

Well, I just ran the same camera setup with:

Code: Select all

echo 0xFF > /sys/module/uvcvideo/parameters/trace

That gave me a nice 300MB log file for about 30 minutes of uptime.

Failed again with the same EMI message (as expected, I suppose).

There were a lot (hundreds to thousands) of entries. The vast majority of them were:

Code: Select all

Jan 12 22:22:24 upfront kernel: [  220.779609] uvcvideo: Dropping payload (out of sync).

The second-most common would show up in blocks of about six to ten:

Code: Select all

Jan 12 22:22:24 upfront kernel: [  220.341121] uvcvideo: USB isochronous frame lost (-63).

There would also be the occasional:

Code: Select all

Jan 12 22:22:24 upfront kernel: [  220.626457] uvcvideo: Frame complete (EOF found).

and

Code: Select all

Jan 12 22:22:26 upfront kernel: [  222.382158] uvcvideo: Frame complete (overflow).

It kept this up for about 2100 seconds (which, incidentally, was the longest it had run in this configuration). The camera then shut down, something threw the EMI message into the log, and the USB Wi-Fi was found again automatically:

Code: Select all

Jan 12 22:58:11 upfront kernel: [ 2367.982107] usb 1-1.1: USB disconnect, device number 3

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but after I disconnected and reconnected the camera, the following showed up:

Sorry it took a while to get this information, let me know if there's any other info I can get for you.

USB audio capture again.

Have reliable capture without needing dwc_otg.speed=1 when the USB card does stereo
capture. Only mono devices need dwc_otg.speed=1 for reliable capture.

Tested all permutations of 3 x mono cards, 2 x stereo cards, on 2 x RPi,
with & without Ethernet active. Completely repeatable. These all C-Media based cards of
different makes.

OS is Raspbian 3.6.11+ #352 PREEMPT.

Well this is interesting.

I have a (terrible) USB webcam that sends the Pi into a complete hissy fit. It supports the bare minimum of UVC controls and is 640x480 max, but only transmits uncompressed video.

This is great because it's exactly what we need - a steady bitrate out of an isochronous device.

I have found that this webcam *only ever works* with the resolution 320x240 @30fps. The reason behind this is the size and/or configuration of transfers that the UVCvideo driver picks. Most Isoc devices have multiple "alternate" configurations - they will send different packet sizes and numbers of packets depending on which alternate configuration is selected. This is to allow flexibility in allocating bandwidth. My webcam apparently has about 12 - which uvcvideo will select 1 of based on the amount of bandwidth required to stream the video.

Nothing else works except a packet size of 1x768 bytes (uvcvideo will tell you which it uses if you enable the right tracing parameter). I get "EOF in empty frame" and "Isochronous frame lost (-63)" ad infinitum otherwise.

The wierd thing is, every time I use 320x240 (1x768B) the transaction always completes flawlessly. Everything else either returns empty packets or -63 errors (which are a result of frame overrun errors reported by the driver). I might hack the driver to force use of other transfer modes - which will let me probe what works/what doesn't.

My hunch is that the scheduling is horrendously broken for isoc transfers. I can see the driver doesn't respect the periodic intervals very well because it uses some sort of rounding fudge to determine when to request packets.

Can you post lsusb -v and lsmod with the device(s) plugged in? I suspect that mono/stereo will select different bandwidths.

Running without dwc_otg.speed=1
Both devices were capturing at the time. The mono device was dropping data although for
some reason less badly than normal. Only difference is two cards plugged in together.

I removed the stereo card and had the mono card running by itself. Now back to bad
data loss (about 47300 samples/sec instead of 48k/sec).

Two stereo cards plugged in together work fine.
Two mono cards plugged in together lose data badly (47.1k/sec and 47.2k/sec).

Tomorrow I will try a video capture device.

Hi

Is this problem also corrected/improved by the latest USB patch from M33P?

[M33P]

Bump

I have a potential fix for the majority of lost isoc IN frames that result in garbled webcam images or dropped frames - most obvious with uvc-based webcams. There are however some wierd things happening with certain makes of cam.
I need more infos - specifically uvc webcams that fail with the following message:
uvcvideo: Non-zero status -5 in video completion handler.

I need the dmesg output from after using the cam with echo 0x600 > /sys/module/uvcvideo/parameters/trace entered.

I would also like some reports on webcams that use the pwc driver - seems to be another popular chipset.

[BerryPicker]

I would also like some reports on webcams that use the pwc driver.

I have a Philips SPC900NC webcam. With guvcview it "works" in 320x240 or less showing a low frame rate but good pictures.
Typing guvcview -v from a console, it reports VID/PID: 0471 0329, driver:pwc.
The same information is recorded in /home/pi/.xsession-errors, along with countless
Could not grab image (select timeout): Resource temporarily unavailable

If I try (as root) echo 0x600 > /sys/module/uvcvideo/parameters/trace I receive back
-bash: /sys/module/uvcvideo/parameters/trace: No such file or directory
I'm guessing this is because V4L2 doesn't recognise this as a uvcvideo device.

dmesg shows this extract:
[ 1975.515566] Linux media interface: v0.10
[ 1975.546464] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
[ 1975.599214] pwc: Philips SPC 900NC USB webcam detected.
[ 1976.120802] pwc: Registered as video0.
and no errors

uvcdynctrl -l gives this extract:

This is what I get from one of my uvcvideo webcams:

What is the make/model of cam?
What program are you using to grab images/video off it?
Does it work (no stuttering/garbled frames)?

Almost all frames are lost and only a few actually can be seen per minute.

Latest rpi-update kernel (3.6.11+ #399) contains a fix that is reported by several users in the USB redux thread to work well with webcams (Isoc IN) - what I would like is more info for sound devices previously reported to be rife with "static" or other garbled signals - comparison of playback/record before/after.

I updated the firmware as you suggested and tried a high-rez download but alas, it did not work. To be fair, I think that losses of sync are briefer and shorter, but they have not disappeared, by a long shot. As for 44.1khz/16bit music, it works ok, but then I had already managed to get the same results with the stable kernel, by increasing significantly the value of nrpacks for usb_snd_audio in /etc/modprobe.d.

For the record: my Benchmark DAC1 HDR interfaces across USB in asynchronous mode, as every self-respecting DAC seems to do nowadays.

So it does look like you folks are on the right track, but not quite there yet. Thank you for your efforts.

PS. M33P: for some reason I cannot answer your pm's, my replies all get stuck in Outbox and I could not get them out of there! Sorry.

Thank you, Paul, that was indeed news to me.

Thanks M33P! This fix works great for me!

Hm.

While Isoc has improved for pretty much everyone using USB2.0 devices (USB1.1 will still suffer from lost packets due to split transaction breakage noted elsewhere) I'm still annoyed at my webcams "kinda working" - I get 1-2 seconds of uninterrupted video and then a half-garbled frame.

With the default uvcvideo option of nodrop=0 it can simply drop these corrupted frames for YUYV mode (and always drop them for MJPEG) which results in semi-reliable webcam video for most people.

The cause in particular now appears to be sections of kernel code that take a long time to either run inside a critical section or wait for other pieces of hardware. These sections typically run inside _irqsave and _irqrestore calls which cause the ARM to disable interrupts for a long period of time (ignoring any USB interrupts in the process). This is the cause of the remaining "isochronous frame lost (-63)" error messages that still appear sporadically - a HC completed an isoc IN but then the microframe overran and so it raised the Frame Overrun interrupt instead of Transfer Completed.

There is a more subtle effect to running with interrupts disabled for a long period - no more Isoc transactions are queued to the USB core. Due to the extremely limited queueing support for periodic transactions (there isn't any, it's next-frame only) if we miss a queue in microframe N it means we can never send a transaction in microframe N+1.

If we fail to queue packets, and thus don't ask for data then I suspect another form of data loss bites us - the webcam (or whatever) will have internal memory buffer space. This buffer is drained by requesting Isoc IN packets (which will be transmitted by the device with length up to wMaxPacketSize as specified in the endpoint/altsetting descriptor) and filled by the camera/DSP/radio/hamster on the device.

If we fail to drain the device fast enough then the webcam will most likely silently discard the old data. Gsh found this while troubleshooting another type of device that had a realtime datastream - the USB analyzer said that there was lots of bus time without any transactions happening, even though data was available in the device. By a naive calculation I estimate a typical webcam supporting uncompressed mode will have at minimum 4kB of buffer which is roughly 2 microframes worth of data. This would explain why my uncompressed-frame webcam performs a lot better at lower resolutions - less data rate coming out of the camera, leaving more time slack before the buffer overruns.

Next hacks to try:
- Use the data that was transferred on an In Isoc endpoint even though a Frame Overrun occured - it may well be valid
- Fudge UVCvideo's bandwidth calculations or introduce a "gratuitous_bw_overuse" parameter to force higher Isoc packet sizes
