USB Driver¶

Overview¶

The driver allows users to use ESP32-S2 chips to develop USB devices on top the TinyUSB stack. TinyUSB is integrating with ESP-IDF to provide USB features of the framework. Using this driver the chip works as a composite device supporting to represent several USB devices simultaneously. Currently, only the communications device class (CDC) type of the device with the ACM (Abstract Control Model) subclass is supported.

Features¶

Configuration of device and string USB descriptors
USB Serial Device (CDC-ACM)
Input and output through USB Serial Device

Hardware USB Connection¶

Any board with the ESP32-S2 chip with USB connectors or with exposed USB’s D+ and D- (DATA+/DATA-) pins.

If the board has no USB connector but has the pins, connect pins directly to the host (e.g. with do-it-yourself cable from any USB connection cable). For example, connect GPIO19/20 to D-/D+ respectively for an ESP32-S2 board:

Connection of a board to a host ESP32-S2

Driver Structure¶

As the basis is used the TinyUSB stack.

On top of it the driver implements:

Customization of USB descriptors
Serial device support
Redirecting of standard streams through the Serial device
Encapsulated driver’s task servicing the TinyuSB

Configuration¶

Via Menuconfig options you can specify:

Several of descriptor’s parameters (see: Descriptors Configuration bellow)
USB Serial low-level Configuration
The verbosity of the TinyUSB’s log
Disable the TinyUSB main task (for the custom implementation)

Descriptors Configuration¶

The driver’s descriptors are provided by the tinyusb_config_t structure’s descriptor and string_descriptor members. Therefore, users should initialize tinyusb_config_t to their desired descriptor before calling tinyusb_driver_install() to install driver.

However, the driver also provides a default descriptor. The driver can be installed with the default descriptor by setting the descriptor and string_descriptor members of tinyusb_config_t to NULL before calling tinyusb_driver_install(). The driver’s default descriptor is specified using Menuconfig, where the following fields should be configured:

PID
VID
bcdDevice
Manufacturer
Product name
Name of CDC device if it is On
Serial number

If you want to use own descriptors with extended modification, you can define them during the driver installation process

Install Driver¶

To initialize the driver, users should call tinyusb_driver_install(). The driver’s configuration is specified in a tinyusb_config_t structure that is passed as an argument to tinyusb_driver_install().

Note that the tinyusb_config_t structure can be zero initialized (e.g. tinyusb_config_t tusb_cfg = { 0 }) or partially (as shown below). For any member that is initialized to 0 or NULL, the driver will use its default configuration values for that member (see example below)

tinyusb_config_t partial_init = {
    .descriptor = NULL;         //Uses default descriptor specified in Menuconfig
    .string_descriptor = NULL;  //Uses default string specified in Menuconfig
    .external_phy = false;
}

USB Serial Device (CDC-ACM)¶

If the CDC option is enabled in Menuconfig, the USB Serial Device could be initialized with tusb_cdc_acm_init() according to the settings from tinyusb_config_cdcacm_t (see example below).

tinyusb_config_cdcacm_t amc_cfg = {
    .usb_dev = TINYUSB_USBDEV_0,
    .cdc_port = TINYUSB_CDC_ACM_0,
    .rx_unread_buf_sz = 64,
    .callback_rx = NULL,
    .callback_rx_wanted_char = NULL,
    .callback_line_state_changed = NULL,
    .callback_line_coding_changed = NULL
};
tusb_cdc_acm_init(&amc_cfg);

To specify callbacks you can either set the pointer to your tusb_cdcacm_callback_t function in the configuration structure or call tinyusb_cdcacm_register_callback() after initialization.

USB Serial Console¶

The driver allows to redirect all standard application strings (stdin/out/err) to the USB Serial Device and return them to UART using esp_tusb_init_console()/esp_tusb_deinit_console() functions.
