It is _real_ hard for me to debug protocol which I'm not using on HW
which I don't posses.

However, I will do my best to fix this bug. Hence please be patient with
my questions.

Steve, how much bytes do you send?

I think that you refer to the below code.

So we have following situation here:
We received 3968B from 4096B (missing 128B)

> is_short = 0

This should be equal to 1.

We are supposed (now) to receive 128 B more.

> remained bytes = 3968

This is totally wrong. Here we should have 128 B.

short_not_ok flag is used solely in USB Mass Storage gadget (which is
correct for it).

However, dwc2 UDC driver is not explicitly supporting it (but
unfortunately does it implicitly).

This of course should be fixed.


One question to Steve - could you check if below Roger's change fixes
your problem?

I will also test it - however, current tests aren't covering this
situation:

1. DFU uses EP0 (not EPn bulk) - this works since we can send or receive
e.g. 65 B

2. USB Mass Storage expects (UMS) transmission to be a multiple
of wMaxPacketSize (there is some caching done) and uses short_not_ok
flag.

3. THOR protocol is padded to LBA size (512 B) as it is convenient for
eMMC flashing.

I do need to come up with new one.


Roger, thanks for your support and effort.
