+ * @defgroup USB USB Driver
+ * @brief Generic USB Driver.
+ * @details This module implements a generic USB driver.
+ * @pre In order to use the USB driver the @p HAL_USE_USB option
+ * must be enabled in @p halconf.h.
+ *
+ * @section usb_1 Driver State Machine
+ * The driver implements a state machine internally, not all the driver
+ * functionalities can be used in any moment, any transition not explicitly
+ * shown in the following diagram has to be considered an error and shall
+ * be captured by an assertion (if enabled).
+ * @if LATEX_PDF
+ * @else
+ * @endif
+ *
+ * @section usb_2 USB Operations
+ * The USB driver is quite complex and USB is complex in itself, it is
+ * recommended to study the USB specification before trying to use the
+ * driver.
+ *
+ * @subsection usb_2_1 USB Implementation
+ * The USB driver abstracts the inner details of the underlying USB hardware.
+ * The driver works asynchronously and communicates with the application
+ * using callbacks. The application is responsible of the descriptors and
+ * strings required by the USB device class to be implemented and of the
+ * handling of the specific messages sent over the endpoint zero. Standard
+ * messages are handled internally to the driver. The application can use
+ * hooks in order to handle custom messages or override the handling of the
+ * default handling of standard messages.
+ *
+ * @subsection usb_2_2 USB Endpoints
+ * USB endpoints are the objects that the application uses to exchange
+ * data with the host. There are two kind of endpoints:
+ * - <b>IN</b> endpoints are used by the application to transmit data to
+ * the host.
+ * - <b>OUT</b> endpoints are used by the application to receive data from
+ * the host.
+ * .
+ * In ChibiOS/RT the endpoints can be configured in two distinct ways:
+ * - <b>Packet Mode</b>. In this mode the driver invokes a callback each
+ * time a packet has been received or transmitted. This mode is especially
+ * suited for those applications handling continuous streams of data.
+ * - <b>Transaction Mode</b>. In this mode the driver invokes a callback
+ * only after a large, potentially multi-packet, transfer has been
+ * completed, a callback is invoked only at the end of the transfer.
+ * .
+ * .
+ * @subsection usb_2_3 USB Callbacks
+ * The USB driver uses callbacks in order to interact with the application.
+ * There are several kind of callbacks to be handled:
+ * - Driver-wide events callback. As example errors, suspend event, reset
+ * event etc.
+ * - Messages hook callback. This hook allows the application to implement
+ * handling of custom messages or to override the default handling of
+ * standard messages.
+ * - Descriptor requested callback. When the driver endpoint zero handler
+ * needs to serve a descriptor to the host it queries the application
+ * using this callback.
+ * - Start of Frame callback. This callback is invoked each time a SOF
+ * packet is received.
+ * - Endpoint callbacks. Each endpoint informs the application about I/O
+ * conditions using those callbacks.
+ * .

-Within 2.1.x
-* Binary Semaphores on top of Counting Semaphores.
-* Direct unbuffered UART driver.
- Requirements: low level, callbacks, DMA capable, state machines buildable
- on top, support data words greater than 8 bits, callback for
- "last byte transmitted (RS485)", simple implementation,
- verifiable.
-* Rework STM32 drivers to use friendly IRQ names and centralized DMA macros.
-* I-class functions for the ADC/PWM drivers.
-* All the device driver structures must have a fields extension macro and
- initializer hook.
-* All the device driver callbacks must have the driver pointer as first
- parameter.
-* Change the SPI driver to be able to work asynchronously using callbacks,
- keep the synchronous APIs available as option.
-* Add an optional spiPolledExchange() API to the SPI driver model.
-* Update the STM32 SPI driver to the new model.
-* Make the ADC driver have the same synchronous/asynchronous API of the
- new SPI driver model.
-* General HAL improvements.
-* Update the AT91SAM7 SPI driver (DMA and/or ISR).
- * Verify the FatFs demo on both the AT91SAM7X and AT91SAM7S.
-* Update the LPC214x SPI driver (ISR).
- * Verify the LPC214x FatFs demo.
-* Write a new SPI driver for LPC1xxx (ISR)(it should be very close to the
- LPC214x one).
-N Evaluate if to add a synchronous API to the UART driver, eventually do so.
-* Global documentation reorganization in order to allow both separate documents
- and the usual blob document.
-* PDF generation from the documentation system (only separate documents, not
- the blob).
-* Automatic compilation and upload of the various documents on the web site
- (doxygen + rsync).
-* New STM8S/A SPI driver.
-* Reorganization of the STM32 family port-level support.
-* Remove preprocessor directives from the assembler files and restore the
- RIDE7 build files in the STM32 demo.
-* Move dynamic APIs into a separate source file.
-* Improved support in the STM32 HAL support for multiple sub-families. Do
- not check for the family in the various drivers but simply check for
- switch macros like STM32_HAS_USART3, STM32_HAS_SPI3. This what the
- drivers will not need changes when adding new sub-families.
-* STM8L official HAL support, it will have to be separated from the STM8S/STM8A
- HAL because it is very different.
- * Shared ISR management.
- * STM8L-Discovery demo.
-* Add the STM32F100 (Value Line) sub-family to the official STM32 HAL support.
- * STM32VL-Discovery demo.
-* Remove the PAL default configuration from the various hal_lld.c and move
- them into board.c files, this will remove an ugly dependency.
-* Realign the STM8 port to the new STM8L one as options, naming conventions
- and general solutions.
-* Support for more compilers (IAR, Keil, ARMCMx only initially).
-X Support for not just Makefiles (Ride7, Crossworks etc).
-* IAR port for Cortex-Mx, add demos for all the supported families.
-* Keil port for Cortex-Mx, add demos for all the supported families.
-* Change the serial drivers to have a single event source instead of three.
