It will be very nice, but I have only one idea which may help somehow, it is check current and voltage on all ports if hub or phy support that. But there is too much troubles: * Most embedded devices connect USB +5V line directly to main supply bus; * Most controllers have only OVER_CURRENT flag, so you can't calculate total power consumption or get voltage level on rail; * We need to know power source parameters. So we don't know how that consumption affect system as result we have voltage lower than minimum required in main system (lost bits, then fault and reboot) or in attached USB device (just device lost). So I see no way to detect that properly :( Maybe Hans can give some hints? > > > > Adrian -- Aleksandr Rybalko <ray@freebsd.org>
