Drivers NXP USB Devices

Common USB Driver Problems USB devices are what is called ‘plug and play’ meaning quite literally that you should be able to plug something in and play, there are few additional configuration settings. If your USB device does not work the most likely problem is missing or outdated drivers. NXP provides USB Host/Device software stack as well as USB Class Drivers and implementations designed to speed products to market with advanced USB connectivity. The stack is provided with complete source code, example drivers and documentation.

USB Device Stack
smxUSBD is a robust USB device stack especially designed and developed for embedded systems. It is written in C, and can run on any hardware platform. While optimized for SMX®, smxUSBD can be ported to another RTOS or operate in a stand-alone environment.
smxUSBD is a full-featured USB device stack. It offers a clean, modular design that enables embedded developers to easily add USB device capabilities to their products. Normally this is done to permit connection to a PC or laptop in order to upload or download data, tables, code, or audio, or to control or configure devices. The smxUSBD device stack is offered separately from the smxUSBH host stack to reduce system cost and memory usage for projects not needing a host stack. It is compliant with the USB v2.0 specification (see www.usb.org).
For easy connectivity to a PC or laptop, smxUSBD includes mouse and keyboard function drivers, and the following are available separately: Audio, Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU), Ethernet over USB (ECM, NCM, RNDIS), Mass Storage, Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), Serial, and Video. Each is compatible with the corresponding Windows, Mac OS, and Linux USB driver. Thus, a device using smxUSBD does not require a custom W/M/L driver in order to connect to a PC or laptop. All that is needed is to decide on the connection type most appropriate for your device and to use the corresponding API for that device - see below.
Also available is a USB composite function driver framework, which allows a device to simultaneously look like two or more USB devices. The USB multi-port serial function driver allows a single USB connection to function as multiple serial ports (up to 1/2 the number of controller endpoints). This function driver comes with a custom Windows driver that supports it.
Layers

• Function Driver Layer provides USB functions to an application such as audio, mass storage, serial, and video.
• Device Core Layer provides the common USB device framework.
• Device Controller Driver Layer provides the interface to the selected USB device controller.
• Porting Layer provides service functions related to the hardware, OS, and compiler.

Function Drivers
The following sections describe each function driver and its API. The USB host is a Windows, Mac OS, or Linux system. See the smxUSBD User’s Guide for any limitations and implementation you must do for these.
Audio
The Audio function driver makes your device look like a sound card to the USB host. You can include a speaker and/or microphone in this audio device so you can playback and/or record sound. You can also integrate a MIDI port into your device so it can accept MIDI data. There is no need to install any driver or .inf file in Windows, Mac OS, or Linux to support this device but you may need to implement the sound device driver yourself, according to your system hardware and software environment.

sud_AudioRegisterNotify(port, handler)
sud_AudioPackMIDIEvent(port, pData, pEvent)
sud_AudioUnpackMIDIEvent(port, pData, pEvent)
DFU
The DFU function driver allows updating the firmware in your device. The Windows operating system does not have a built-in driver for it, so you need to use a driver, such as the one provided by MDI or others that are commonly available. The DFU runtime function may be used as part of a composite device with other functions such as serial or mass storage. This is not a full firmware update solution. See the smxUSBD User’s Guide for details.

sud_DFURegisterInterface (*pIF)
sud_DFUWriteDone (result, condition)

Ethernet over USB
The Ethernet over USB function driver makes your device look like a network adapter to a Windows, MacOS, or Linux USB host. The host can communicate with this device via Ethernet data packets. Normally you need a TCP/IP stack on your device and use the APIs provide by this function driver to emulate an Ethernet device and add it to your network stack. This device has been integrated with smxNS, our TCP/IP stack. Then the host and your device can communicate with each other by TCP/IP with a USB cable instead of an Ethernet cable. One use of this is to allow configuring a device from the web browser on a host communicating with a web server on your device. This is especially useful if your processor has only a USB device controller and no Ethernet controller.
This driver supports CDC-ECM, CDC-NCM, and RNDIS for different host OSes. Windows supports RNDIS, and MacOS and Linux support ECM and NCM. RNDIS and either ECM or NCM can be enabled to support all three OSes, and the proper one is used at runtime when the device is plugged in. NCM supports packet aggregation.

HID Communication
The HID Communication function driver is useful for transferring small amounts of data. It is an alternative to the Serial function driver that does not require installing a driver or .inf file on Windows. It requires writing a special Windows application to communicate with it; a sample is provided.

sud_HIDSendInput(*pDataBuf, size)
sud_HIDRegisterOutputNotify(handler)
Keyboard (Included)
The Keyboard function driver makes your device look like an HID keyboard to the USB host. It inputs key events to your PC.
sud_KBDInput(modifier, *key, count)
Mass Storage
The Mass Storage function driver makes your device look like a removable disk to the USB host. You can copy files to and from it.
sud_MSRegisterDisk(pDiskOper, lun)
Media Transfer Protocol (MTP)
The Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) function driver includes PTP support. It makes your device look like a digital still image device to the USB host. There is no need to install any driver or .inf file in Windows to support this device, but you may need to implement the file system interface (if not using smxFS) and the interface to get the properties of the files your device will support, such as the image width, height, etc.
MTP can also be used for general file transfer as an alternative to Mass Storage. Advantages are the ability to limit which files are accessed and that it is unnecessary to have two modes of operation to switch between local and USB access to the disk, to protect the file structure.

sud_MTPRegisterInterface(pObjOper)
sud_MTPSendEvent(EventCode, iNumPar, *Par)
Mouse (Included)
The Mouse function driver makes your device look like an HID mouse to the USB host. It moves the mouse pointer on your PC.
sud_MouseInput(button, x, y, wheel)
Serial
The Serial function driver makes your device look like one or more COM ports to a Windows, Mac OS, or Linux USB host. You can use standard Win32 functions to communicate with the device, just like if it were connected to a real RS232 port. For the multi-port option, we provide a custom Windows USB serial driver, since the built-in Windows driver supports only one port. Our driver also allows using only 1/2 the number of endpoints, saving them for other uses.

sud_SerialGetLineState(port, piState)
sud_SerialGetLineCoding(port, pdwDTERate, pbParityType, pbDataBits, pbStopBits)
sud_SerialRegisterPortNotify(port, handler)
Video
The Video function driver makes your device look like a web camera to a Windows, Mac OS, or Linux USB host. There is no need to install any driver or .inf file in Windows to support this device but you may need to implement the camera sensor driver, and you may also need to customize the configuration of the driver for your real hardware features, such as the set of features your camera sensor will support.

Composite Devices
smxUSBD allows creating a composite device. Such a device has multiple interfaces that are active at the same time using a single controller chip. For example, a composite device might combine serial and mass storage. See the smxUSBD User's Guide for more discussion of this.
Writing New Drivers
Contact us first to make sure we are not already working on the driver you need.
smxUSBD provides a function driver template and a section in the manual to help you write a new function driver, if needed.
smxUSBD provides a USB device controller driver template and a section in the manual, to help you write a new driver in case it does not support yours.
Porting
Little or no porting is necessary when smxUSBD is used with SMX®. It is designed to also work with other RTOSs and to run standalone, but it works best in a multitasking environment. The RTOS porting layer is handled by smxBase.
The hardware porting layer consists of two files, udport.h and udport.c. These files contain definitions, macros, and functions to port to a new processor. In addition, if the USB device controller is not among those already supported, a new driver will need to be written.
16-Bit Addressing Support
smxUSBD supports processors that can only do 16-bit memory addressing (not byte addressing) such as the TI TMS320C55xx DSPs. These processors are difficult to support for typical communication protocols because of byte data and byte fields in standard protocol data structures. This support is enabled by a configuration option in smxUSBD.
Testing
We test smxUSBD with USBCheck Version 5.1 on a Windows PC to verify that it passes the Chapter 9 USB compliance tests for full speed and high speed. We also test with USBCV v1.3 and it passes the Chapter 9, HID, and MSC tests.
