USB CDC and MSD

[arnogir]

Hello,

We developed a project few years ago (2015/2016) based on Kinetis K70, MQX 4.1.1 with Kds 3.0

On this Platform, we used the USB to plug an USB key (Mass storage) . This key can be need in many step in the product life:

- On first startup, when external flash is empty, we look for on the Key to copy some file needed for our application (Ressources for PEG Library)

- On product live, we could need to copy some application file from/to USB Key / external flash.

So we use also the MFS part..

Now, we need to add a Bluetooth communication to replace the current Serial port which come so obselete. Then the idea is to plug an USB/Bluetooth (https://fr.rs-online.com/web/c/informatique-et-peripheriques/reseaux-et-connectivite/adaptateurs-blu...)

Then we need to used the USB port like an Host CDC.

Currently we used the USB in Host Msd like the provided exemple.

I seen the CDC host exemple which seem no much more complicated.

The question I have is:

- Can we configure the USB to work both in CDC/MSD which is automatically detected according the object which is plugged?

- If no, can we switch from Msd to CDC and CDC to Msd? => How "un install" Usb Msd driver properly?

Thank

Then now,

Like indicated in my new post here:

https://community.nxp.com/message/996344

I'm looking for a way to get a Bluetooth dongle which work directly in USB (Host or Device) CDC serial....

This product exist in the market, but too expensive.. Maybe NXP has solution to do it with a no expensive Kinetis series...?...

Hello,

Ok, I run the USB Host AND device CDC demo with success.

Then if I add USB mass storage class in the Driver Info table it is ok.

Thank for your help.

You are welcome, thanks for your update.

Hello

Then first, Is somebody can help me to use the exemple USB-CDC on the tower K70 allowing to be connect the Tower USB port to the computer which emulate it in seral port and then seen byte transmited from/to Serial port to/from USB(Serial emulmated...) ???

Currently, when I plug the USB cable in the tower and to the computer, nothing append in the K70 task: No event of attach/detach appears...

Hello,

Yes I will test that, but first I must make work the Host CDC exemple on the tower K70.

I try to plug a computer on it but without success, I havn't enumeration callback (attach event...)

I think this is because both computer and Tower are in Host!..

Then I order an Bluetooth key to plug on the tower, then my computer will attach to them and try to emulate serial port with it.

Hi Arnaud:

Theoretically， I think it is possible to configure usb host to work with cdc & msd.

Please refer to Freescale_MQX_4_x\doc\usb\MQX_USB_Host_Reference_Manual

section 2.3 Using the Freescale MQX USB Host API , there defined msd and printer in a driver capabilites table.

1. Define a table of driver capabilities that the application uses (as follows):
Example 2-1. Sample driver info table
static USB_HOST_DRIVER_INFO DriverInfoTable[ ] =
{
{
/* Vendor ID per USB-IF */
{0x00,0x00},
/* Product ID per manufacturer */
{0x00,0x00},
/* Class code */
USB_CLASS_MASS_STORAGE,
/* Sub-Class code */
USB_SUBCLASS_MASS_UFI,
/* Protocol */
USB_PROTOCOL_MASS_BULK,
/* Reserved */
0,
/* Application call back function */
usb_host_mass_device_event
},
{
/* Vendor ID per USB-IF */
{0x00,0x00},
/* Product ID per manufacturer */
{0x00,0x00},
/* Class code */
USB_CLASS_PRINTER,
/* Sub-Class code */
USB_SUBCLASS_PRINTER,
/* Protocol */
USB_PROTOCOL_PRT_BIDIR,
/* Reserved

0,
/* Application call back function */
usb_host_prt_device_event
},
{
/* All-zero entry terminates */
{0x00,0x00},
/* driver info list. */
{0x00,0x00},
0,
0,
0,
0,
NULL
}
};
2. Initialize the USB Host controller interface (_usb_host_init()).
3. The application should then register this table with the host stack by calling the
_usb_host_driver_info_register() host API function.
4. Optionally register services for types of events (_usb_host_register_service()).
5. Wait for the callback function, which is specified in the driver info table, to be called.
6. Check for the events in the callback function: One of ATTACH, DETACH, CONFIG or INTF.
ATTACH: indicates a newly attached device was just enumerated and a default configuration was
selected
DETACH: the device was detached.
CONFIG: A new configuration was selected on the device.
INTF: A new interface was selected on the device.
7. If it is an attach event, then select an interface by calling the host API function
_usb_hostdev_select_interface().
8. After the INTF event is notified in the callback function, issue class-specific commands by using
the class API.
9. Open the pipe for a connected device or devices (_usb_host_open_pipe()).
10. Get the pipe handle by calling the host API function _usb_hostdev_find_pipe_handle().
11. Transfer data by using the host API functions _usb_host_send_data() and/or
_usb_host_recv_data().
12. If required, cancel a transfer on a pipe (_usb_host_cancel_transfer()).
13. If applicable, unregister services for types of events (_usb_host_unregister_service()) and close
pipes for disconnected devices (_usb_host_close_pipe()).
14. Shut down the USB Host controller interface (_usb_host_shutdown()).

Hello

I'm trying desperately to make the exemple Host_Cdc_serail work without success.

The serial part work (with debug mode, I got event on received data on the UART part)

But, for the USB part, it not work:

- If I plug an USB Key (with a specific added driverInfoTable), I got the call back with Attach...dettach event.

- If I plug a Bluetooth dongle (Link bellow) or directly a computer, noting call back comes..

What can we plug on the board to make the exemple call correctly the call back corresponding to a device of Class "Communication or Data"?

Thank for your help!
