HID mouse 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 HID Mouse (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 MSC (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+1)

#define UDI_HID_MOUSE_EP_IN  (X | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
#define UDI_HID_MOUSE_IFACE_NUMBER  X

#define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_T \
   udi_hid_mouse_desc_t udi_hid_mouse; \
   ...
#define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_FS \
   .udi_hid_mouse = UDI_HID_MOUSE_DESC, \
   ...
#define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_HS \
   .udi_hid_mouse = UDI_HID_MOUSE_DESC, \
   ...
#define UDI_COMPOSITE_API \
   &udi_api_hid_mouse, \
   ...

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 for low speed
        // - 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 HID mouse.
        #define USB_DEVICE_NB_INTERFACE (X+1)
        // Total number of endpoints on this USB device.
        // This must include each endpoint for each interface.
        // Add 1 for HID mouse.
        #define USB_DEVICE_MAX_EP (X+1) 

2. Ensure that conf_usb.h contains the description of composite device:

   • // The endpoint number chosen by you for the mouse.
        // The endpoint number starting from 1.
        #define UDI_HID_MOUSE_EP_IN  (X | USB_EP_DIR_IN)
        // The interface index of an interface starting from 0
        #define UDI_HID_MOUSE_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_hid_mouse_desc_t udi_hid_mouse; \
           ...
        // USB Interfaces descriptor value for Full Speed
        #define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_FS \
           ...
           .udi_hid_mouse = UDI_HID_MOUSE_DESC, \
           ...
        // USB Interfaces descriptor value for High Speed
        #define UDI_COMPOSITE_DESC_HS \
           ...
           .udi_hid_mouse = UDI_HID_MOUSE_DESC, \
           ...
        // USB Interface APIs
        #define UDI_COMPOSITE_API \
           ...
           &udi_api_hid_mouse, \
           ... 

   • 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.
