USB Host

Warning

The USB Host Library API is a beta version thus is subject to change.

The document provides information regarding the USB Host Library. This document is split into the following sections:

Overview

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

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

  • The user needs to implement a custom host class driver such as a vendor specific class driver

  • The user has a requirement for a lower level of abstraction due to resource/latency requirements

Features & Limitations

The Host Library has the following features:

  • Supports Full Speed (FS) and Low Speed (LS) Devices

  • Supports all four transfer types (Control, Bulk, Interrupt, and Isochronous)

  • 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 are 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).

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

  • Only supports a single device, but the Host Library’s API is designed for multiple device support.

  • Only supports Asynchronous transfers

  • Transfer timeouts are not supported yet

Architecture

Diagram of the Key Entities of USB Host Functionality

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 a lowest public facing layer of the USB Host Stack. Any other 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 (e.g., 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) that uses the Host Library to communicate with a USB device. Generally each client has a one-to-one relation with a task, meaning that for a particular client, all of its Client API calls should be done 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 client events (i.e., the 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 (i.e., events that are not specific to a 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 (usually the Host Library Daemon Task) to handle all of the library events.

Devices

The Host Library hides the details of device handling (such as connection, memory allocation, and enumeration) from the clients. The clients are provided only with a list of already connected and enumerated devices to choose from. During enumeration, each device is configured to use configuration 1.

It is possible for a 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 (EP0), which will result in their control transfers being serialized.

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

  1. Open the device using the device’s address. This lets the Host Library know that the client is using that device.

  2. Claim the interface(s) that will be used for communication. This prevents other clients from claiming the same interface(s).

  3. Send transfers to the endpoints in the claimed interface. The client’s task is responsible for handling its own processing and events.

Usage

The Host Library (and the underlying Host Stack) will not create any tasks. All tasks (i.e., the client tasks and the Daemon Task) will need to be created by the class drivers or the user. Instead, the Host Library provides two event handler functions that will 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 the largely centered around the invocation of these event handler functions.

Host Library & Daemon Task

Basic Usage

The Host Library API provides usb_host_lib_handle_events() to handle library events. This function should be called repeatedly, typically from the daemon task. Some notable features regarding 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:

#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 peripherals/usb/host/usb_host_lib example for a full implementation of the Daemon Task

Lifecycle

Graph of Typical USB Host Library Lifecycle

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 the graph above, the typical lifecycle involves the following key stages.

  1. The Host Library is installed by calling usb_host_install().
    • Installation must be done before any other Host Library API is called.

    • Where usb_host_install() is called (e.g., from the Daemon Task or another task) will depend 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 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 usb_host_install().

  3. Device 1 connects and is then enumerated.
    • Each registered client (in this case Client 1 and Client 2) are notified of the new device by way of the 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 USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_NEW_DEV event).

    • Client 2 opens Device 2 and begins communication with it.

  5. Device 1 suddenly disconnects.
  6. Client 1 completes its clean up and deregisters by calling 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 clean up.

  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 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 cleanup as there are no more clients.
  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 usb_host_uninstall().

Clients & Class Driver

Basic Usage

The Host Library API provides 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 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 usb_host_client_handle_events() thus allowing the client task to be notified of events.

  • The client event callback of type usb_host_client_event_cb_t which 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 usb_transfer_cb_t which indicates that a particular USB transfer previously submitted by the client has completed.

Note

Given that the callbacks are called from within usb_host_client_handle_events(), users should avoid blocking from within the callbacks as this will result in 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 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.

        }
        if (class_driver_obj.actions & CLASS_DRIVER_ACTION_CLOSE_DEV) {

            exit = true;
        }
        ... //Handle any other actions required by the class driver
    }

    //Cleanup class driver
    usb_host_transfer_free(transfer);
    usb_host_client_deregister(class_driver_obj.client_hdl);
    ... //Delete the task and any other signal Daemon Task if required
}

Note

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

  1. Wait for some signal regarding the Host Library being installed.

  2. Register the client via usb_host_client_register() and allocate any other class driver resources (e.g., allocating transfers using usb_host_transfer_alloc()).

  3. For each new device that the class driver needs to communicate with:

    1. Check if the device is already connected via usb_host_device_addr_list_fill().

    2. If the device is not already connected, wait for a USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_NEW_DEV event from the client event callback.

    3. Open the device via usb_host_device_open().

    4. Parse the device and configuration descriptors via usb_host_get_device_descriptor() and usb_host_get_active_config_descriptor() respectively.

    5. Claim the necessary interfaces of the device via usb_host_interface_claim().

  4. Submit transfers to the device via usb_host_transfer_submit() or usb_host_transfer_submit_control().

  5. Once an opened device is no longer needed by the class driver, or has disconnected (as indicated by a USB_HOST_CLIENT_EVENT_DEV_GONE event):

    1. Stop any previously submitted transfers to the device’s endpoints by calling usb_host_endpoint_halt() and usb_host_endpoint_flush() on those endpoints.

    2. Release all previously claimed interfaces via usb_host_interface_release().

    3. Close the device via usb_host_device_close().

  6. Deregister the client via usb_host_client_deregister() and free any other class driver resources.

  7. Delete the client task. Signal the Daemon Task if necessary.

Macros

USB_TRANSFER_FLAG_ZERO_PACK

Terminate Bulk/Interrupt OUT transfer with a zero length packet.

OUT transfers normally terminate when the Host has transferred the exact amount of data it needs to the device. However, for bulk and interrupt OUT transfers, if the transfer size just happened to be a multiple of MPS, it will be impossible to know the boundary between two consecutive transfers to the same endpoint.

Therefore, this flag will cause the transfer to automatically add a zero length packet (ZLP) at the end of the transfer if the following conditions are met:

  • The target endpoint is a Bulk/Interrupt OUT endpoint (Host to device)

  • The transfer’s length (i.e., transfer.num_bytes) is a multiple of the endpoint’s MPS

Otherwise, this flag has no effect.

Users should check whether their target device’s class requires a ZLP, as not all Bulk/Interrupt OUT endpoints require them. For example:

  • For MSC Bulk Only Transport class, the Host MUST NEVER send a ZLP. Bulk transfer boundaries are determined by the CBW and CSW instead

  • For CDC Ethernet, the Host MUST ALWAYS send a ZLP if a segment (i.e., a transfer) is a multiple of MPS (See 3.3.1 Segment Delineation)

Note

See USB2.0 specification 5.7.3 and 5.8.3 for more details

Note

IN transfers normally terminate when the Host as receive the exact amount of data it needs (must be multiple of MPS) or the endpoint sends a short packet to the Host(For bulk OUT only). Indicates that a bulk OUT transfers should always terminate with a short packet, even if it means adding an extra zero length packet

Type Definitions

typedef struct usb_device_handle_s *usb_device_handle_t

Handle of a USB Device connected to a USB Host.

typedef struct usb_transfer_s usb_transfer_t

USB transfer structure.

This structure is used to represent a transfer from a software client to an endpoint over the USB bus. Some of the fields are made const on purpose as they are fixed on allocation. Users should call the appropriate USB Host Library function to allocate a USB transfer structure instead of allocating this structure themselves.

The transfer type is inferred from the endpoint this transfer is sent to. Depending on the transfer type, users should note the following:

  • Bulk: This structure represents a single bulk transfer. If the number of bytes exceeds the endpoint’s MPS, the transfer will be split into multiple MPS sized packets followed by a short packet.

  • Control: This structure represents a single control transfer. This first 8 bytes of the data_buffer must be filled with the setup packet (see usb_setup_packet_t). The num_bytes field should be the total size of the transfer (i.e., size of setup packet + wLength).

  • Interrupt: Represents an interrupt transfer. If num_bytes exceeds the MPS of the endpoint, the transfer will be split into multiple packets, and each packet is transferred at the endpoint’s specified interval.

  • Isochronous: Represents a stream of bytes that should be transferred to an endpoint at a fixed rate. The transfer is split into packets according to the each isoc_packet_desc. A packet is transferred at each interval of the endpoint. If an entire ISOC URB was transferred without error (skipped packets do not count as errors), the URB’s overall status and the status of each packet descriptor will be updated, and the actual_num_bytes reflects the total bytes transferred over all packets. If the ISOC URB encounters an error, the entire URB is considered erroneous so only the overall status will updated.

Note

For Bulk/Control/Interrupt IN transfers, the num_bytes must be a integer multiple of the endpoint’s MPS

Note

This structure should be allocated via usb_host_transfer_alloc()

Note

Once the transfer has be submitted, users should not modify the structure until the transfer has completed

Enumerations

enum usb_device_state_t

USB2.0 device states.

See Table 9-1 of USB2.0 specification for more details

Note

The USB_DEVICE_STATE_NOT_ATTACHED is not part of the USB2.0 specification, but is a catch all state for devices that need to be cleaned up after a sudden disconnection or port error.

Values:

enumerator USB_DEVICE_STATE_NOT_ATTACHED

The device was previously configured or suspended, but is no longer attached (either suddenly disconnected or a port error)

enumerator USB_DEVICE_STATE_ATTACHED

Device is attached to the USB, but is not powered.

enumerator USB_DEVICE_STATE_POWERED

Device is attached to the USB and powered, but has not been reset.

enumerator USB_DEVICE_STATE_DEFAULT

Device is attached to the USB and powered and has been reset, but has not been assigned a unique address. Device responds at the default address.

enumerator USB_DEVICE_STATE_ADDRESS

Device is attached to the USB, powered, has been reset, and a unique device address has been assigned. Device is not configured.

enumerator USB_DEVICE_STATE_CONFIGURED

Device is attached to the USB, powered, has been reset, has a unique address, is configured, and is not suspended. The host may now use the function provided by the device.

enumerator USB_DEVICE_STATE_SUSPENDED

Device is, at minimum, attached to the USB and is powered and has not seen bus activity for 3 ms. It may also have a unique address and be configured for use. However, because the device is suspended, the host may not use the device’s function.
