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://metalab.at/wiki/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. + + +---------------------------------------------------------------------------- +(c) 2008 by OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT Software GmbH. +http://www.obdev.at/ |
