Hi, this USB 3.0 controller from ThinkPad W520 often halts/resets itself rendering it unusable till next reboot. # dmesg xhci0: Controller halt timeout. xhci0: Controller reset timeout. xhci0: Controller reset timeout. uhub2 on usbus1 uhub2: <(0x1033) XHCI root HUB, class 9/0, rev 3.00/1.00, addr 1> on usbus1 uhub2: 4 ports with 4 removable, self powered xhci0: Resetting controller usb_alloc_device: device init 2 failed (USB_ERR_TIMEOUT, ignored) ugen1.2: <Unknown > at usbus1 (disconnected) uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device usb_alloc_device: device init 2 failed (USB_ERR_TIMEOUT, ignored) ugen1.2: <Unknown > at usbus1 (disconnected) uhub_reattach_port: could not allocate new device uhub2: at usbus1, port 1, addr 1 (disconnected) uhub2: detached xhci0: Controller halt timeout. xhci0: Controller reset timeout. # pciconf -lv xhci0 xhci0@pci0:14:0:0: class=0x0c0330 rev=0x04 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1033 device=0x0194 subvendor=0x17aa subdevice=0x21cf vendor = 'NEC Corporation' device = 'uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller' class = serial bus subclass = USB Regards, vermaden
Hey there :-) I have that controller in desktop as additional PCI-E card for USB access to bhyve vms. Works for me without a problem. FreeBSD octagon 13.2-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 13.2-RELEASE-p8 GENERIC amd64 xhci1: <NEC uPD720200 USB 3.0 controller> mem 0xfe400000-0xfe401fff at device 0.0 on pci6 xhci1: 32 bytes context size, 32-bit DMA usbus1 on xhci1 usbus1: 5.0Gbps Super Speed USB v3.0 xhci1@pci0:6:0:0: class=0x0c0330 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x1033 device=0x0194 subvendor=0x1028 subdevice=0x0498 vendor = 'NEC Corporation' device = 'uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller' class = serial bus subclass = USB From the pciconf output I can see I have older revision rev=0x04 (you have rev=0x04) also the subvendor and subdevice differs. Have you tried updating BIOS and controller firmware? Have you tried using different USB cable? Are you using USB HUB on the way? Have you tried playing with sysctl values (man xhci)? :-)
Also can you power_off / power_on / reset the hub with usbconfig ?
(In reply to Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO from comment #2) Thank You I will try all these suggestions.
(In reply to Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO from comment #2) The power on/off does not seem to work. % usbconfig | grep -i xhci ugen1.1: <(0x1033) XHCI root HUB> at usbus1, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=SAVE (0mA) % doas usbconfig -u 1 -a 1 power_off usbconfig: could not set power OFF: Invalid argument doas usbconfig -u 1 -a 1 power_on usbconfig: could not set power ON: Invalid argument
usbconfig -d 1.1 reset :-) also see the bios setup options on power saving etc :-)

Here is the BIOS update download page: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w520/downloads/driver-list/component?name=BIOS%2FUEFI&id=5AC6A815-321D-440E-8833-B07A93E0428C This is the original drivers page for W520 and it states Renesas USB 3.0 controller: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-w-series-laptops/thinkpad-w520/downloads/ds015025-usb-30-driver-for-windows-7-32-bit-64-bit-vista-32-bit-64-bit-xp-thinkpad?category=USB%20Device,%20FireWire,%20IEEE%201394,%20Thunderbolt Or the newer one but it also says "This software is Renesas' original device driver for Sunix USB3.0 Add-in Card for Windows Operating System that operates USB 3.0 Host controllers uPD720200 and uPD720200A": https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds013548-usb-30-host-controller-driver-for-windows-7-32-bit-and-64-bit-vista-32-bit-and-64-bit-xp-thinkcentre-m-series-edge-series-thinkstation I found some github repo with similar controller firmwares + update utility. This may come from/with a driver package. This NEC controler may be also customized by Renesas / Sunix thus different behavior?
(In reply to Tomasz "CeDeROM" CEDRO from comment #7) Thank You - will try that later.
