This is the Readme file for V-USB and related code. V-USB is Objective
|
|
Development's firmware-only USB driver for Atmel's(r) AVR(r) microcontrollers.
|
|
For more information please visit http://www.obdev.at/vusb/.
|
|
|
|
To avoid name confusion: This project was formerly known as AVR-USB. Due to
|
|
a trademark issue, it was renamed to V-USB in April 2009.
|

|
|
|
|
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS PACKAGE?
|
|
=================================
|
|
This package consists of the device side USB driver firmware, library code
|
|
for device and host and fully working examples for device and host:
|
|
|
|
Readme.txt .............. The file you are currently reading.
|
|
usbdrv .................. V-USB firmware, to be included in your project.
|
|
examples ................ Example code for device and host side.
|
|
libs-device ............. Useful code snippets for the device firmware.
|
|
libs-host ............... Useful code snippets for host-side drivers.
|
|
circuits ................ Example circuits using this driver.
|
|
Changelog.txt ........... Documentation of changes between versions.
|
|
License.txt ............. Free Open Source license for this package (GPL).
|
|
CommercialLicense.txt ... Alternative commercial license for this package.
|
|
USB-ID-FAQ.txt .......... General infos about USB Product- and Vendor-IDs.
|
|
USB-IDs-for-free.txt .... List and terms of use for free shared PIDs.
|
|
|
|
Each subdirectory contains a separate Readme file which explains its
|
|
contents. We recommend that you also read the Readme.txt file in the
|
|
usbdrv subdirectory.

|
PREREQUISITES
|
|
=============
|
|
The AVR code of V-USB is written in C and assembler. You need either
|
|
avr-gcc or IAR CC to compile the project. We recommend avr-gcc because it
|
|
is free and easily available. Gcc version 3 generates slightly more
|
|
efficient code than version 4 for V-USB. Not every release is tested with
|
|
the IAR compiler. Previous versions have been tested with IAR 4.10B/W32 and
|
|
4.12A/W32 on an ATmega8 with the "small" and "tiny" memory model.
|
|
|
|
Ready made avr-gcc tool chains are available for most operating systems:
|
|
* Windows: WinAVR http://winavr.sourceforge.net/
|
|
* Mac: CrossPack for AVR Development http://www.obdev.at/crosspack/
|
|
* Linux and other Unixes: Most free Unixes have optional packages for AVR
|
|
development. If not, follow the instructions at
|
|
http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/install_tools.html
|
|
|
|
Our host side examples are compiled with gcc on all platforms. Gcc is the
|
|
default C compiler on Mac, Linux and many other Unixes. On windows, we
|
|
recommend MinGW (http://www.mingw.org/). Use the automated MinGW installer
|
|
for least troubles. You also need MSYS from the same site to work with
|
|
standard Makefiles.
|
|
|
|
Most examples also depend on libusb. Libusb is available from
|
|
http://libusb.sourceforge.net/ for Unix and
|
|
http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/ for Windows.

|
=======================
|
|
The API reference of the driver firmware can be found in usbdrv/usbdrv.h.
|
|
Documentation for host and device library files are in the respective header
|
|
files. For more information, see our documentation wiki at
|
|
http://www.obdev.at/goto.php?t=vusb-wiki.
|
|
