Combined USB keyboard and mouse device

julianmorrison — Wed, 11 Jun 2014 09:08:53 GMT

I am using the Freescale USB stack v4.1.1 and I need to have a combined USB keyboard and mouse device.

It appears to me that the hid device demo is hard coded for one end point so I think I will need a combined device descriptor.

Has any one had any luck doing this?

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers, Julian

Hi Julian:

In this case you can use as base example the composite descriptor on the USB Stack for Audio+Video (Please find this on path: C:\Freescale\Freescale USB Stack v4.1.1\Source\Device\app_composite\hid_audio_video) specifically check usb_descriptor.c

Have a nice day,

Perla,

Thanks for your help, I now have two HID input devices showing in windows device manager along with a USB Composite device controller.

Unfortunately, windows is not starting the device showing a 'This device cannot start. (Code 10)' in the properties.

Do you have any further suggestions on where I'm going wrong?

Thanks, Julian

Here is my configuration descriptor:

   0,                          /* Configuration Description String Index*/
   BUS_POWERED|SELF_POWERED|(REMOTE_WAKEUP_SUPPORT<<REMOTE_WAKEUP_SHIFT),

Hi Julian

I think that you need to check the HID report associated with the REPORT_DESC_SIZE_COMPOSITE.

g_config_descriptor_composite[] is informing the USB host that there are two HID devices but the host will then request the details of these devices using a REQUEST GET DESCRIPTION of type REPORT and this answer is probably not yet correct for the devices - thus the error code.

Thanks Mark,

I will check the report descriptor. There are suggestions elsewhere that I may need to use REPORT_ID's but I'm not sure?

I guess what I'm looking for is a full listing of the Device, Config and Report descriptors for a composite keyboard/mouse device from someone who has succeeded at this already.

It would be nice to understand USB more but I have only just been put on the project which is way behind schedule (usual thing!)

Cheers, Julian
