Vendor in a Composite Device

A USB Composite Device is a USB Device, which uses more than one USB class.

In this use case, the "USB Vendor (Composite Device)" module is used to create a USB composite device. Thus, this USB module can be associated with another "Composite Device" module, like "USB HID Mouse (Composite Device)".

Also, you can refer to application note AVR4902 ASF - USB Composite Device.

Setup Steps

For the setup code of this use case to work, the Basic Use Case must be followed.

Usage Steps

Example Code

Content of conf_usb.h:

#define USB_DEVICE_EP_CTRL_SIZE 64
#define USB_DEVICE_NB_INTERFACE (X+1)
#define USB_DEVICE_MAX_EP (X) to (X+6)
#define UDI_VENDOR_EP_INTERRUPT_IN (1 | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
#define UDI_VENDOR_EP_INTERRUPT_OUT (2 | USB_EP_DIR_OUT)
#define UDI_VENDOR_EP_BULK_IN (3 | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
#define UDI_VENDOR_EP_BULK_OUT (4 | USB_EP_DIR_OUT)
#define UDI_VENDOR_EP_ISO_IN (5 | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
#define UDI_VENDOR_EP_ISO_OUT (6 | USB_EP_DIR_OUT)
#define UDI_VENDOR_IFACE_NUMBER X
#define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_T \
udi_vendor_desc_t udi_vendor; \
...
#define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_FS \
.udi_vendor = UDI_VENDOR_DESC, \
...
#define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_HS \
.udi_vendor = UDI_VENDOR_DESC, \
...
#define UDI_COMPOSITE_API \
&udi_api_vendor, \
...

Workflow

  1. Ensure that conf_usb.h is available and contains the following parameters required for a USB composite device configuration:
    // Endpoint control size, This must be:
    // - 8, 16, 32 or 64 for full speed device (8 is recommended to save RAM)
    // - 64 for a high speed device
    #define USB_DEVICE_EP_CTRL_SIZE 64
    // Total Number of interfaces on this USB device.
    // Add 1 for Vendor.
    #define USB_DEVICE_NB_INTERFACE (X+1)
    // Total number of endpoints on this USB device.
    // This must include each endpoint for each interface.
    // Add 0 to 6 for Vendor interface.
    // The number depends on UDI_VENDOR_EPS_SIZE_..._FS defines.
    #define USB_DEVICE_MAX_EP (X) to (X+6)
  2. Ensure that conf_usb.h contains the description of composite device:
    // The endpoint numbers chosen by you for the Vendor.
    // The endpoint numbers starting from 1.
    #define UDI_VENDOR_EP_INTERRUPT_IN (1 | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
    #define UDI_VENDOR_EP_INTERRUPT_OUT (2 | USB_EP_DIR_OUT)
    #define UDI_VENDOR_EP_BULK_IN (3 | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
    #define UDI_VENDOR_EP_BULK_OUT (4 | USB_EP_DIR_OUT)
    #define UDI_VENDOR_EP_ISO_IN (5 | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
    #define UDI_VENDOR_EP_ISO_OUT (6 | USB_EP_DIR_OUT)
    // The interface index of an interface starting from 0
    #define UDI_VENDOR_IFACE_NUMBER X
  3. Ensure that conf_usb.h contains the following parameters required for a USB composite device configuration:
    // USB Interfaces descriptor structure
    #define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_T \
    ...
    udi_vendor_desc_t udi_vendor; \
    ...
    // USB Interfaces descriptor value for Full Speed
    #define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_FS \
    ...
    .udi_vendor = UDI_VENDOR_DESC_FS, \
    ...
    // USB Interfaces descriptor value for High Speed
    #define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_HS \
    ...
    .udi_vendor = UDI_VENDOR_DESC_HS, \
    ...
    // USB Interface APIs
    #define UDI_COMPOSITE_API \
    ...
    ...
    Note
    The descriptors order given in the four lists above must be the same as the order defined by all interface indexes. The interface index orders are defined through UDI_X_IFACE_NUMBER defines.
