Problem with USB 3.0 ASMedia Host controller and DisplayLink

[Wim]

Its possible that you have different chip versions of the AS Media Host controller and different firmware programmed into the host controller. This is why the new HC driver may work for some and not for others.

ultrah, it might be worth asking AS Media if they have a way of making sure you have the latest firmware in your host controller, as this might help.

I am using the firmware from this site:
http://www.station-drivers.com/page/asmedia.htm

version 110914

The only problem I have found is that I cant use my USB 2 Serial port adaptor (with an FTDI chip inside) and my Terasic blaster (with an FTDI chip insdie) at the same time. It seems to crash something. Its unfortinate, because otherwise everthing works perfect (as far as I can tell). I run on USB 2.0 for now since I cant debug without both running.

I updated my drivers from the same place as Randog77 and now it's working over USB3.

I also updated the firmware to 1222oE (minor hassle you need to boot into DOS).

This is on a Samsung 700z5a i7 quadcore. Previously only the usb hub worked on USB3 (USB2 everything worked). Now after installing the new USB3 drivers and a few reboots everything is working fine over USB3.

I updated to the latest driver but I don't how to flash the firmware, is it possible if you can post a instruction on how to flash the firmware? Thanks a lot.

I have another problem on the Toshiba Dynadock 3.0, the screen becomes fuzzy when I go to the Youtube page and it keeps going on when I play video on full screen, but it disappears when I switch to another web page. I tried both usb 2.0 and 3.0 but same thing happens.

This could be a side effect of USB issues. If the bandwidth reduces, then the compression will increase to match the lower bandwidth.

Thanks for you reply, Wim. Is there a solution for this, I tried disconnecting other ports on the dock but HDMI, the problem still exsits, I thought the bandwidth problem would go away since there was only HDMI on it. Other than that, Toshiba and Displaylink both did a great job on this. BTW, the graphic from my laptop comes from HD 3000.
