TinyUSB

TinyUSB is an open-source cross-platform USB Host/Device stack for embedded system. It is designed to be memory-safe with no dynamic allocation and thread-safe with all interrupt events are deferred then handled in the stack's task function.

Device Stack

Support multiple device configurations by dynamically changing usb descriptors. Low power functions such as suspend, resume and remote wakeup. Following device classes are supported:

• Communication Class (CDC)
• Human Interface Device (HID): Generic (In & Out), Keyboard, Mouse, Gamepad etc ...
• Mass Storage Class (MSC): with multiple LUNs
• Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)

Host Stack

Most active development is on the Device stack. The Host stack is under rework and largely untested.

• Human Interface Device (HID): Keyboard, Mouse, Generic
• Mass Storage Class (MSC)
• Hub currently only support 1 level of hub (due to my laziness)

OS Abtraction layer

Currently the following OS are supported with tinyusb out of the box with a simple change of CFG_TUSB_OS macro.

• No OS
• FreeRTOS
• MyNewt (work in progress)

Supported MCUs

The stack supports the following MCUs

• Nordic: nRF52840
• NXP: LPC11Uxx, LPC13xx, LPC175x_6x, LPC177x_8x, LPC18xx, LPC40xx, LPC43xx
• MicroChip: SAMD21, SAMD51
• ST: STM32F4

Here is the list of supported Boards

Compiler & IDE

The stack is developed with GCC compiler, and should be compilable with others. Folder examples provide Makefile and Segger Embedded Studio build support.

Getting Started

Here is the details for getting started with the stack.
