USB Function Mass Storage Client Driver Transport (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

Assuming control/bulk/interrupt transport (CBIT), the USB mass storage class driver transport collects command block, data block 2-tuples sent by the host controller and delivers the command to the USB Function Mass Storage Client Driver SCSI-2 Direct-Access Device Emulator. The proxy between the transport and the SCSI-2 direct-access device emulator provides portability across mass storage class transport schemes. This eliminates the dependency of the transport on a particular emulator by operating on the USB function controller driver, performing transport-specific transfers, extracting commands from transport-specific envelopes, and executing commands on the target medium through the proxy.

To complete a mass storage class request, CBIT uses control transfers for transmitting commands, interrupt transfers for transmitting status, and optional bulk transfers for transmitting data. A mass storage class request can fail for the following reasons:

  • If a command is not supported
  • If a communication error occurs during command data transmission or reception
  • If the execution of the command fails

When receiving a command, the transport determines whether to provide support for the command. For information about determining whether a command is supported by the associated medium, see USB Function Mass Storage Client Driver SCSI-2 Direct-Access Device Emulator.

The following list shows the transport status resulting from unsupported commands, data transmission errors, and command execution failures:

  • If a command is not supported, then the transport stalls the command transport during the status stage of the control transfer.
  • If an error occurs during data transmission or reception, then the transport stalls the data transport.
  • If the execution of the associated command fails, then, the transport indicates failure during the status transport or reports the failure in response to a REQUEST SENSE command.

The only difference between CBIT and bulk-only transport (BOT) is the transfer method and the transfer type for each of the transport phases of the class request.
