Overview
--------

The USB Host Library (hereinafter referred to as the Host Library) is the lowest layer of the USB Host stack that exposes a public facing API. In most cases, applications that require USB Host functionality do not need to interface with the Host Library directly. Instead, most applications use the API provided by a host class driver that is implemented on top of the Host Library.

However, you may want to use the Host Library directly for some of (but not limited to) the following reasons:

- Implementation of a custom host class driver
- Usage of lower level USB Host API

Features & Limitations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Host Library has the following features:

.. list::

    :esp32s2 or esp32s3: - Supports Full Speed (FS) and Low Speed (LS) Devices.
    :esp32p4: - Supports High Speed (HS), Full Speed (FS) and Low Speed (LS) Devices.
    - Supports all four transfer types: Control, Bulk, Interrupt, and Isochronous.
    :esp32p4: - Supports High-Bandwidth Isochronous endpoints.
    :esp32p4: - {IDF_TARGET_NAME} includes two USB 2.0 OTG peripherals: one High-Speed and one Full-Speed. Both support USB Host functionality. However, due to a current software limitation, only one can operate as a USB Host at a time. Support for dual USB Host operation is planned for a future update.
    - Allows multiple class drivers to run simultaneously, i.e., multiple clients of the Host Library.
    - A single device can be used by multiple clients simultaneously, e.g., composite devices.
    - The Host Library itself and the underlying Host Stack does not internally instantiate any OS tasks. The number of tasks is entirely controlled by how the Host Library interface is used. However, a general rule of thumb regarding the number of tasks is ``(the number of host class drivers running + 1)``.
    - Allows single Hub support (If option :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_HUBS_SUPPORTED` is enabled).
    - Allows multiple Hubs support (If option :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_HUB_MULTI_LEVEL` is enabled).

Currently, the Host Library and the underlying Host Stack has the following limitations:

.. list::

    - Only supports Asynchronous transfers.
    - Only supports using one configuration. Changing to other configurations after enumeration is not supported yet.
    - Transfer timeouts are not supported yet.
    - The External Hub Driver: Remote Wakeup feature is not supported (External Hubs are active, even if there are no devices inserted).
    - The External Hub Driver: Doesn't handle error cases (overcurrent handling, errors during initialization etc. are not implemented yet).
    - The External Hub Driver: No Interface selection. The Driver uses the first available Interface with Hub Class code (09h).
    - The External Port Driver: No downstream port debounce mechanism (not implemented yet)
    :esp32p4: - The External Hub Driver: No Transaction Translator layer (No FS/LS Devices support when a Hub is attached to HS Host).

    Diagram of the key entities involved in USB Host functionality

The diagram above shows the key entities that are involved when implementing USB Host functionality. These entities are:

- The **Host Library**
- **Clients** of the Host Library
- **Devices**
- Host Library **Daemon Task**

Host Library
^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Host Library is the lowest public-facing API layer of the ESP-IDF USB Host Stack. Any other ESP-IDF component (such as a class driver or a user component) that needs to communicate with a connected USB device can only do so using the Host Library API either directly or indirectly.

The Host Library's API is split into two sub-sets, namely the **Library API** and **Client API**.

- The Client API handles the communication between a client of the Host Library and one or more USB devices. The Client API should only be called by registered clients of the Host Library.
- The Library API handles all of the Host Library processing that is not specific to a single client, such as device enumeration. Usually, the library API is called by a Host Library Daemon Task.

Clients
^^^^^^^

A client of the Host Library is a software component, such as a host class driver or user component, which utilizes the Host Library to establish communication with a USB device. Generally, each client has a one-to-one relation with a task. This implies that all Client API calls pertaining to a specific client must originate from the context of the same task.

By organizing the software components that use the Host Library's into clients, the Host Library can delegate the handling of all events specific to that client to the client's task. In other words, each client task is responsible for all the required processing and event handling associated with the USB communication that the client initiates.

Daemon Task
^^^^^^^^^^^

Although the Host Library delegates the handling of client events to the clients themselves, there are still Library events – events that are not specific to any particular client – that need to be handled. Library event handling can include things such as:

- Handling USB device connection, enumeration, and disconnection
- Rerouting control transfers to/from clients
- Forwarding events to clients

Therefore, in addition to the client tasks, the Host Library also requires a task, which is usually the Host Library Daemon Task, to handle all of the library events.

Devices
^^^^^^^

The Host Library shields clients from the details of device handling, encompassing details such as connection, memory allocation, and enumeration. The clients are provided only with a list of already connected and enumerated devices to choose from. By default during enumeration, each device is automatically configured to use the first configuration found, namely, the first configuration descriptor returned on a Get Configuration Descriptor request. For most standard devices, the first configuration will have a ``bConfigurationValue`` of ``1``. If option  :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_ENABLE_ENUM_FILTER_CALLBACK` is enabled, a different ``bConfigurationValue`` can be selected, see `Multiple Configuration Support`_ for more details.

It is possible for two or more clients to simultaneously communicate with the same device as long as they are not communicating to the same interface. However, multiple clients can simultaneously communicate with the same device's default endpoint (i.e., EP0), which will result in their control transfers being serialized.

For a client to communicate with a device, the client must:

#. Open the device using the device's address. This lets the Host Library know that the client is using that device.
#. Claim the interface(s) that will be used for communication. This prevents other clients from claiming the same interface(s).
#. Send transfers to the endpoints of claimed interfaces. The client's task is responsible for handling its own processing and events related to USB device communication.


.. ------------------------------------------------------ Usage --------------------------------------------------------

Usage
-----

The Host Library and the underlying Host Stack will not create any tasks. All tasks, namely the client tasks and the Daemon Task, need to be created by the class drivers or the user. Instead, the Host Library provides two event handler functions that handle all of the required Host Library processing, thus these functions should be called repeatedly from the client tasks and the Daemon Task. Therefore, the implementation of client tasks and the Daemon Task will be largely centered around the invocation of these event handler functions.

Host Library & Daemon Task
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Basic Usage
"""""""""""

The Host Library API provides :cpp:func:`usb_host_lib_handle_events` to handle library events. This function should be called repeatedly, typically from the Daemon Task. Some notable features regarding :cpp:func:`usb_host_lib_handle_events` are:

- The function can block until a library event needs handling.
- Event flags are returned on each invocation. These event flags are useful for knowing when the Host Library can be uninstalled.

A bare-bones Daemon Task would resemble something like the following code snippet:

.. code-block:: c

    #include "usb/usb_host.h"

    void daemon_task(void *arg)
    {
        ...
        bool exit = false;
        while (!exit) {
            uint32_t event_flags;
            usb_host_lib_handle_events(portMAX_DELAY, &event_flags);
            if (event_flags & USB_HOST_LIB_EVENT_FLAGS_NO_CLIENTS) {
                ...
            }
            if (event_flags & USB_HOST_LIB_EVENT_FLAGS_ALL_FREE) {
                ...
            }
            ...
        }
        ...
    }

.. note::

    See the :example:`peripherals/usb/host/usb_host_lib` example for full implementation of the Daemon Task.

Lifecycle
"""""""""

.. figure:: ../../../_static/usb_host_lib_lifecycle.png
    :align: center
    :alt: Graph of Typical USB Host Library Lifecycle
    :figclass: align-center

    Graph of Typical USB Host Library Lifecycle

The graph above illustrates the typical lifecycle of the Host Library with multiple clients and devices. Specifically, the example involves:

- Two registered clients (Client 1 and Client 2).
- Two connected devices (Device 1 and Device 2), where Client 1 communicates with Device 1 and Client 2 communicates with Device 2.

With reference to the graph above, the typical lifecycle involves the following key stages.

1. The Host Library is installed by calling :cpp:func:`usb_host_install`.
    - Installation must be done before any other Host Library API is called.
    - Where :cpp:func:`usb_host_install` is called (e.g., from the Daemon Task or another task) depends on the synchronization logic between the Daemon Task, client tasks, and the rest of the system.
2. Once the Host Library is installed, the clients can be registered by calling :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_register`.
    - This is typically called from the client task, where the client task waits for a signal from the Daemon Task.
    - This can be called elsewhere if necessary as long it is called after :cpp:func:`usb_host_install`.
3. Device 1 connects and is then enumerated.
    - Each registered client (in this case Client 1 and Client 2) is notified of the new device by way of the :cpp:enumerator:`USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_NEW_DEV` event.
    - Client 1 opens Device 1 and begins communication with it.
4. Similarly Device 2 connects and is enumerated.
    - Client 1 and 2 are notified of a new device via a :cpp:enumerator:`USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_NEW_DEV` event.
    - Client 2 opens Device 2 and begins communication with it.
5. Device 1 suddenly disconnects.
    - Client 1 is notified by way of :cpp:enumerator:`USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_DEV_GONE` and begins its cleanup.
    - Client 2 is not notified as it has not opened Device 1.
6. Client 1 completes its cleanup and deregisters by calling :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_deregister`.
    - This is typically called from the client task before the task exits.
    - This can be called elsewhere if necessary as long as Client 1 has already completed its cleanup.
7. Client 2 completes its communication with Device 2. Client 2 then closes Device 2 and deregisters itself.
    - The Daemon Task is notified of the deregistration of all clients by way the :c:macro:`USB_HOST_LIB_EVENT_FLAGS_NO_CLIENTS` event flag as Client 2 is the last client to deregister.
    - Device 2 is still allocated (i.e., not freed), as it is still connected albeit not currently opened by any client.
8. The Daemon Task decides to clean up as there are no more clients.
    - The Daemon Task must free Device 2 first by calling :cpp:func:`usb_host_device_free_all`.
    - If :cpp:func:`usb_host_device_free_all` was able to free all devices, the function will return `ESP_OK` indicating that all devices have been freed.
    - If :cpp:func:`usb_host_device_free_all` was unable to free all devices for reasons like the device is still opened by a client, the function will return `ESP_ERR_NOT_FINISHED`.
    - The Daemon Task must wait for :cpp:func:`usb_host_lib_handle_events` to return the :c:macro:`USB_HOST_LIB_EVENT_FLAGS_ALL_FREE` event flag in order to know when all devices have been freed.
9. Once the Daemon Task has verified that all clients have deregistered and all devices have been freed, it can now uninstall the Host Library by calling :cpp:func:`usb_host_uninstall`.

Clients & Class Driver
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Basic Usage
"""""""""""

The Host Library API provides :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_handle_events` to handle a particular client's events. This function should be called repeatedly, typically from the client's task. Some notable features regarding :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_handle_events` are:

- The function can block until a client event needs handling.
- The function's primary purpose is to call the various event handling callbacks when a client event occurs.

The following callbacks are called from within :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_handle_events` thus allowing the client task to be notified of events.

- The client event callback of type :cpp:type:`usb_host_client_event_cb_t` delivers client event messages to the client. Client event messages indicate events such as the addition or removal of a device.
- The USB transfer completion callback of type :cpp:type:`usb_transfer_cb_t` indicates that a particular USB transfer previously submitted by the client has been completed.

.. note::

    Given that the callbacks are called from within :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_handle_events`, users should avoid blocking from within the callbacks as this will result in :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_handle_events` being blocked as well, thus preventing other pending client events from being handled.

The following code snippet demonstrates a bare-bones host class driver and its client task. The code snippet contains:

- A simple client task function ``client_task`` that calls :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_handle_events` in a loop.
- Implementations of a client event callback and transfer completion callbacks.
- Implementation of a simple state machine for the class driver. The class driver simply opens a device, sends an OUT transfer to EP1, then closes the device.

            }

                // Release the interface and close the device
                usb_host_interface_release(class_driver_obj.client_hdl, class_driver_obj.dev_hdl, 1);

        // Cleanup class driver
        usb_host_transfer_free(transfer);
        usb_host_client_deregister(class_driver_obj.client_hdl);
        ... // Delete the client task. Signal the Daemon Task if necessary.
    }

.. note::

    An actual host class driver is likely to support many more features, thus will have a much more complex state machine. A host class driver is also likely to need to:

    - Be able to open multiple devices
    - Parse an opened device's descriptors to identify if the device is of the target class
    - Communicate with multiple endpoints of an interface in a particular order
    - Claim multiple interfaces of a device
    - Handle various errors

Lifecycle
"""""""""

The typical life cycle of a client task and class driver will go through the following stages:

#. Wait for some signal regarding the Host Library being installed.
#. Register the client via :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_register` and allocate any other class driver resources, such as allocating transfers using :cpp:func:`usb_host_transfer_alloc`.
#. For each new device that the class driver needs to communicate with:

    a. Check if the device is already connected via :cpp:func:`usb_host_device_addr_list_fill`.
    b. If the device is not already connected, wait for a :cpp:enumerator:`USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_NEW_DEV` event from the client event callback.
    c. Open the device via :cpp:func:`usb_host_device_open`.
    d. Parse the device and configuration descriptors via :cpp:func:`usb_host_get_device_descriptor` and :cpp:func:`usb_host_get_active_config_descriptor` respectively.
    e. Claim the necessary interfaces of the device via :cpp:func:`usb_host_interface_claim`.

#. Submit transfers to the device via :cpp:func:`usb_host_transfer_submit` or :cpp:func:`usb_host_transfer_submit_control`.
#. Once an opened device is no longer needed by the class driver, or has disconnected, as indicated by a :cpp:enumerator:`USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_DEV_GONE` event:

    a. Stop any previously submitted transfers to the device's endpoints by calling :cpp:func:`usb_host_endpoint_halt` and :cpp:func:`usb_host_endpoint_flush` on those endpoints.
    b. Release all previously claimed interfaces via :cpp:func:`usb_host_interface_release`.
    c. Close the device via :cpp:func:`usb_host_device_close`.

#. Deregister the client via :cpp:func:`usb_host_client_deregister` and free any other class driver resources.
#. Delete the client task. Signal the Daemon Task if necessary.

Host Stack Configuration
------------------------

Non-Compliant Device Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To support USB devices that are non-compliant in various scenarios or exhibit specific behaviors, it is possible to configure the USB Host stack.

As a USB device may be hot-plugged, it is essential to have configurable delays between power switching and device attachment, and when the device's internal power has stabilized.

Enumeration Configuration
"""""""""""""""""""""""""

During the process of enumerating connected USB devices, several delay values ensure the proper functioning of the device.

.. figure:: ../../../_static/usb_host/poweron-timings.png
    :align: center
    :alt: USB Root Hub Power-on and Connection Events Timing

    USB Root Hub Power-on and Connection Events Timing

The figure above shows all the delay values associated with both turning on port power with a device connected and hot-plugging a device.

* After a port is reset or resumed, the USB system software is expected to provide a "recovery" interval of 10 ms before the device attached to the port is expected to respond to data transfers.
* After the reset/resume recovery interval, if a device receives a ``SetAddress()`` request, the device must be able to complete processing of the request and be able to successfully complete the Status stage of the request within 50 ms.
* After successful completion of the Status stage, the device is allowed a ``SetAddress()`` recovery interval of 2 ms.

.. note::

    For more details regarding connection event timings, please refer to `USB 2.0 Specification <https://www.usb.org/document-library/usb-20-specification>`_ > Chapter 7.1.7.3 *Connect and Disconnect Signaling*.

Configurable parameters of the USB host stack can be configured with multiple options via Menuconfig.

* For debounce delay, refer to :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_DEBOUNCE_DELAY_MS`.
* For reset hold interval, refer to :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_RESET_HOLD_MS`.
* For reset recovery interval, refer to :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_RESET_RECOVERY_MS`.
* For ``SetAddress()`` recovery interval, refer to :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_SET_ADDR_RECOVERY_MS`.

Downstream Port Configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

When external Hubs feature is supported, there are several parameters which could be configured for the external Hubs port.

Each external Hub has a Hub Descriptor which describes the device characteristics.

.. note::

    For detailed information about Hub Descriptor, please refer to `USB 2.0 Specification <https://www.usb.org/document-library/usb-20-specification>`_ > Chapter 11.23.2.1 *Hub Descriptor*.

Configurable parameters of the downstream port can be configured with multiple options via Menuconfig.

* For custom value to stabilize the power after powering on the port (PwrOn2PwrGood value), refer to :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_EXT_PORT_CUSTOM_POWER_ON_DELAY_MS`.
* For reset recovery interval, refer to :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_EXT_PORT_RESET_RECOVERY_DELAY_MS`.

.. note::

    The specification claims, that for a hub with no power switches, PwrOn2PwrGood must be set to zero. Meanwhile, for some devices, this value could be increased to give extra time for device to power-up. To enable this feature, refer to :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_EXT_PORT_CUSTOM_POWER_ON_DELAY_ENABLE`.

Host Channels
"""""""""""""

When external Hubs support feature is enabled (:ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_HUBS_SUPPORTED`), the amount of Host channels plays important role, as each downstream device requires vacant channel.

To handle each attached device, different amount of channels are required. This amount does depend on the device class (EPs number).

Supported amount of channels for {IDF_TARGET_NAME} is {IDF_TARGET_OTG_NUM_HOST_CHAN}.

.. note::

    - One free channel is required to enumerate the device.

    - From 1 to N (when N - number of EPs) free channels are required to claim the interface.

    - When there are no more free Host channels available, the device could not be enumerated and its interface cannot be claimed.


Multiple Configuration Support
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

To support USB devices that have more than one configuration, it is possible to specify the desired configuration number during a device's enumeration process.

Enumeration Filter
""""""""""""""""""

The enumeration filter is a callback function of type :cpp:type:`usb_host_enum_filter_cb_t` called at the beginning of the enumeration process once a device descriptor is read from a newly attached USB device. Consequently, the user is provided with the obtained device descriptor. Through this callback, the user can:

* Select the configuration of the USB device.
* Filter which USB devices should be enumerated.

To use the enumeration filter, users should enable the :ref:`CONFIG_USB_HOST_ENABLE_ENUM_FILTER_CALLBACK` option using menuconfig. Users can specify the callback by setting :cpp:member:`usb_host_config_t::enum_filter_cb` which is then passed to the Host Library when calling :cpp:func:`usb_host_install`.

API Reference
-------------

The API of the USB Host Library is separated into the following header files. However, it is sufficient for applications to only ``#include "usb/usb_host.h"`` and all USB Host Library headers will also be included.

- :component_file:`usb/include/usb/usb_host.h` contains the functions and types of the USB Host Library.
- :component_file:`usb/include/usb/usb_helpers.h` contains various helper functions that are related to the USB protocol such as descriptor parsing.
- :component_file:`usb/include/usb/usb_types_stack.h` contains types that are used across multiple layers of the USB Host stack.
- :component_file:`usb/include/usb/usb_types_ch9.h` contains types and macros related to Chapter 9 of the USB2.0 specification, i.e., descriptors and standard requests.
