This is the Readme file for the custom-class example. In this example, we
|
|
show how an LED can be controlled via USB.
|
|
|
|
|
|
WHAT IS DEMONSTRATED?
|
|
=====================
|
|
This example shows how small amounts of data (several bytes) can be
|
|
transferred between the device and the host. In addition to a very basic
|
|
USB device, it demonstrates how to build a host side driver application
|
|
using libusb or libusb-win32. It does NOT show how usbFunctionWrite() and
|
|
usbFunctionRead() are used. See the hid-data example if you want to learn
|
|
about these functions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PREREQUISITES
|
|
=============
|
|
Target hardware: You need an AVR based circuit based on one of the examples
|
|
(see the "circuits" directory at the top level of this package), e.g. the
|
|
metaboard (http://www.obdev.at/goto.php?t=metaboard).
|
|
|
|
AVR development environment: You need the gcc tool chain for the AVR, see
|
|
the Prerequisites section in the top level Readme file for how to obtain it.
|
|
|
|
Host development environment: A C compiler and libusb. See the top level
|
|
Readme file, section Prerequisites for more information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILDING THE FIRMWARE
|
|
=====================
|
|
Change to the "firmware" directory and modify Makefile according to your
|
|
architecture (CPU clock, target device, fuse values) and ISP programmer. Then
|
|
edit usbconfig.h according to your pin assignments for D+ and D-. The default
|
|
settings are for the metaboard hardware. You should have wired an LED with a
|
|
current limiting resistor of ca. 270 Ohm to a free I/O pin. Change the
|
|
defines in main.c to match the port and bit number.
|
|
|
|
Type "make hex" to build main.hex, then "make flash" to upload the firmware
|
|
to the device. Don't forget to run "make fuse" once to program the fuses. If
|
|
you use a prototyping board with boot loader, follow the instructions of the
|
|
boot loader instead.
|
|
|
|
Please note that the first "make hex" copies the driver from the top level
|
|
into the firmware directory. If you use a different build system than our
|
|
Makefile, you must copy the driver by hand.
|
|
|
|
|
|
BUILDING THE HOST SOFTWARE
|
|
==========================
|
|
Since the host software is based on libusb or libusb-win32, make sure that
|
|
this library is installed. On Unix, ensure that libusb-config is in your
|
|
search PATH. On Windows, edit Makefile.windows and set the library path
|
|
appropriately. Then type "make" on Unix or "make -f Makefile.windows" on
|
|
Windows to build the command line tool.
|
|
|
|
|
|
USING THE COMMAND LINE TOOL
|
|
===========================
|
|
The command line tool has three valid arguments: "status" to query the
|
|
current LED status, "on" to turn on the LED and "off" to turn it off.
