The script developed for usb are from outsource. Everything seems to work correctly, but during a read operation, an empty buffer of length 128 bytes are sent and after execute the library (libusb_interrupt_transfer), there an updated value(rsp) of length 128.This return value will be used to determine which drive managed to toggle LED. However, the return value are always inconsistent.

   //@file hk_arm.cpp
void arm_comm_eusb2(char *cmd, char *rsp, int num_reads, int time_delay)
{
    int ret = 0, num;

    if(eusb_handle==NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "No eusb handle\n");
    return;
    }
    if(cmd==NULL) {
    fprintf(stderr, "No command buffer\n");
    return;
    }
    if(num_reads>5) num_reads = 5;
    if(num_reads<0) num_reads = 0;
    ret = libusb_interrupt_transfer((libusb_device_handle *)eusb_handle, 0x04, (unsigned char *)cmd, 32, &num, 1000);
    if(ret < 0) {
        fprintf(stderr, "usb_interrupt_write error(cmd %s]!\n", cmd);

   }

    if (rsp == NULL) {
        return;
    }
    MyDelay(time_delay);
    while(num_reads--) {
    //intermittent result of rsp
        ret = libusb_interrupt_transfer((libusb_device_handle *)eusb_handle, 0x83, (unsigned char *)rsp, 128, &num, 5000);
        if(ret < 0) {
            fprintf(stderr, "usb_interrupt_read error!\n");

    } 

    }
}


int arm_read_word_eusb2(char *cmd, int* slotvalue, int time_delay)
{
char msg[32];
char rsp[128];
int i;
    memset(rsp, 0, 128);

As I have done work in embedded designs this question is incomplete and even with the full details I might have to get on a bench with the usual debug gear to see what is what. But another clue is you appear to have oursourced this work. This outsource would be your best chance at fixing what the error(s) is.
