  2. Isochronous transfers over the IEEE 1394 bus may not successfully finish when the device driver detaches and reattaches the buffer in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2

Isochronous transfers over the IEEE 1394 bus may not successfully finish when the device driver detaches and reattaches the buffer in Windows 7 and in Windows Server 2008 R2

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

On a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, you attach a device that uses the IEEE 1394 bus to transfer data. The device uses a driver that is controlled by the Windows 7 1394 OHCI Host Controller driver. When you start Isochronous transfer from the device to the computer, data transfer may not successfully finish.

Note This problem may occur if the driver for the IEEE 1394 device only attaches enough Isochronous buffers for a single frame of data, and the device driver detaches and reattaches this buffer in between each frame.

Cause

This problem occurs only when the Isochronous transfer runs to the end of the last buffer that is attached to the Isochronous transfer context, and that buffer is detached from the Isochronous transfer context before additional buffers are attached. This problem may occur because the Windows 7 1394 OHCI Host Controller driver does not correctly clean up an Isochronous transfer context when the last buffer is processed and detached from the Isochronous transfer context. When additional buffers are attached to the Isochronous context, and the Isochronous transfer is restarted, the last buffer in the previous transfer is processed again, instead of starting with the first buffer in the new transfer.

Workaround

To work around this problem, change the behavior of the IEEE 1394 device driver to provide sufficient buffers so that the Isochronous transfer never runs to the end of the last buffer. This would be a typical implementation to provide continuous streaming of Isochronous data.

Status

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

More Information

This problem occurs if the IEEE 1394 device driver implements the following sequence of operations:
  1. Set up the Isochronous transfer. This includes allocating resources and attaching buffers.

    For more information about how to set up the Isochronous transfer, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) websites:
    Setting Up Isochronous Transfer for IEEE 1394 Devices

    REQUEST_GET_SPEED_BETWEEN_DEVICES

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_BANDWIDTH

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_CHANNEL

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_RESOURCES

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ATTACH_BUFFERS
  2. Start the Isochronous Listen or Talk transfer [transfer #1].

    For more information about how to start the Isochronous Listen or Talk transfer, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) websites:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_LISTEN

    REQUEST_ISOCH_TALK
  3. Isochronous data is transferred.
  4. IEEE 1394 device driver's Isochronous callback routine is invoked.

    For more information about how to invoke the Isochronous callback routine, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    ISOCH_DESCRIPTOR
  5. Stop the Isochronous transfer.

    For more information about how to stop the Isochronous transfer, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_STOP
  6. Detach buffers.

    For more information about how to detach the buffers, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_DETACH_BUFFERS
  7. Process buffer data.
    • For Isochronous Listen operations, the IEEE 1394 device driver would process the data that is received in the Isochronous buffers.
    • For Isochronous Talk operations, the IEEE 1394 device driver would prepare the Isochronous buffers with the data to be transmitted.
  8. Attach buffers.

    For more information about how to attach the buffers, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_ATTACH_BUFFERS
  9. Start the Isochronous Listen or Talk transfer [transfer #2].

    For more information about how to start the Isochronous Listen or Talk transfer, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) websites:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_LISTEN
    REQUEST_ISOCH_TALK
In this sequence of operations, when the second Isochronous Listen is started, the value written to the host controller's Command Pointer register is set to point to the LAST Command Descriptor from the PREVIOUS (completed) Isochronous transfer, instead of to the FIRST Command Descriptor in the NEW Isochronous transfer.

This problem does not occur if the IEEE 1394 device driver implements the following sequence of operations:
  1. Set up the Isochronous transfer. This includes allocating resources and attaching buffers.

    For more information about how to set up the Isochronous transfer, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) websites:
    Setting Up Isochronous Transfer for IEEE 1394 Devices

    REQUEST_GET_SPEED_BETWEEN_DEVICES

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_BANDWIDTH

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_CHANNEL

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ALLOCATE_RESOURCES

    REQUEST_ISOCH_ATTACH_BUFFERS
    Note Make sure that you attach sufficient buffers so that additional buffers remain attached after the transfer of the current frame is complete, and the Isochronous callback routine in the corresponding Isochronous descriptor is invoked.
  2. Start the Isochronous Listen or Talk transfer [transfer #1].

    For more information about how to start the Isochronous Listen or Talk transfer, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) websites:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_LISTEN

    REQUEST_ISOCH_TALK
  3. Isochronous data is transferred.
  4. IEEE 1394 device driver's Isochronous callback routine is invoked.

    For more information about how to invoke the Isochronous callback routine, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    ISOCH_DESCRIPTOR
  5. Detach buffers.

    For more information about how to detach the buffers, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_DETACH_BUFFERS
  6. Process buffer data.
    • For Isochronous Listen operations, the IEEE 1394 device driver would process the data that is received in the Isochronous buffers.
    • For Isochronous Talk operations, the IEEE 1394 device driver would prepare the Isochronous buffers with the data to be transmitted.
  7. Attach buffers.

    For more information about how to attach the buffers, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_ATTACH_BUFFERS
  8. Repeat steps 4 through 7 to continue transferring Isochronous data continuously.
  9. Stop the Isochronous transfer.

    For more information about how to stop the Isochronous transfer, visit the following Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN) website:
    REQUEST_ISOCH_STOP
