NOTE: I AM USING A WINDOWS COMPUTER WITH AN INTEL I7 PROCESSOR
USB CONNECTIVITY AND DATA TRANSFER ISSUES
These are the approaches I have followed to get the USB connection this far:
- I tried connecting the micro USB of the LPC to one of the COM ports of the computer. I ran the simple USB program which have been given in the examples in the debugger mode, and tried to connect with the MCU, with the host program running (written on python).
- I tried to upload the MCU program on flash memory and further, connected just the evaluation board and then, ran the host program.
On both cases, I find the program on the MCU side getting stuck in the stage where it tries to check if the connection has been enabled. I am also sending you the copy of the codes I am using on both the MCU side as well as the host side.
PS: I have also tried running the program on the host side using other programming languages such as C and C# initially using the libusb and libusbdotnet libraries, both when run, give me the same error on the MCU side as I have already mentioned in the other messages we’ve conversed about – gets stuck on the checking for connection loop.
PROGRAM ON MCU and HOST SIDE:
MCU SIDE PROGRAM
#include "board.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "libusbdev.h"
/* The size of the packet buffer. */
#define PACKET_BUFFER_SIZE 4096
/* Application defined LUSB interrupt status */
#define LUSB_DATA_PENDING _BIT(0)
/* Packet buffer for processing */
static uint8_t g_rxBuff[PACKET_BUFFER_SIZE];
int main(void)
{
/* Initialize board and chip */
SystemCoreClockUpdate();
Board_Init();
/* Init USB subsystem and LibUSBDevice */
libusbdev_init(USB_STACK_MEM_BASE, USB_STACK_MEM_SIZE);
while (1) {
/* wait until host is connected */
while (libusbdev_Connected() == 0) {
/* Sleep until next IRQ happens */
__WFI(); à Gets stuck in this loop, libusbdev_Connected() always is 0.
}
while (libusbdev_Connected()) {
if (libusbdev_QueueReadDone() != -1) {
/* Dummy process read data ......*/
/* requeue read request */
libusbdev_QueueReadReq(g_rxBuff, PACKET_BUFFER_SIZE);
}
if (libusbdev_QueueSendDone() == 0) {
/* Queue send request */
libusbdev_QueueSendReq(g_rxBuff, PACKET_BUFFER_SIZE);
}
}
}
}
PROGRAM ON HOST SIDE:
Since I am using python, the program is quite easy to understand. Here, dev is the device that’s found using the “find” function of the usb.core - library.
dev1 = usb.core.find(idVendor = 0x1fc9, idProduct = 0x0090)
>>> print(dev1)

I have tried to do everything from either side, but I haven’t understood why this is not working.
I am trying to use the dotnet libusb library again to find if that works, if I had done something wrong in the first trial.
Please let me know if you find I have understood something conceptually wrong. I am really concerned about the time I am spending on the USB connectivity problem, any help from your side is really appreciated.
