USB PCDC (r_usb_pcdc)

This module provides a USB Peripheral Communications Device Class Driver (PCDC). It implements the USB PCDC Interface.

Functions

Refer to USB (r_usb_basic) for the common API (r_usb_basic) to be called from the application.

Detailed Description

Overview

The r_usb_pcdc module combines with the r_usb_basic module to provide a USB Peripheral Communications Device Class (PCDC) driver. The PCDC driver conforms to Abstract Control Model of the USB Communications Device Class (CDC) specification and enables communication with a CDC host device.

Usage Notes

Abstract Control Model Overview

The Abstract Control Model subclass of CDC is a technology that bridges the gap between USB devices and earlier modems (employing RS-232C connections), enabling use of application programs designed for older modems.

Class Requests (Host to Peripheral)

This driver notifies the application when receiving the following class requests:

Request Code Description
SetLineCoding 0x20 Sets communication line settings (bitrate, data length, parity, and stop bit length)
GetLineCoding 0x21 Acquires the communication line setting state
SetControlLineState 0x22 Set communication line control signals (RTS, DTR)
Note
For details concerning the Abstract Control Model requests, refer to Table 11 "Requests - Abstract Control Model" in the "USB Communications Class Subclass Specification for PSTN Devices", Revision 1.2.

Data Format of Class Requests

The data format of supported class requests is described below:

bmRequestType bRequest wValue wIndex wLength Data
0x21 SET_LINE_CODING (0x20) 0x0000 0x0000 0x0007 usb_pcdc_linecoding_t
0xA1 GET_LINE_CODING (0x21) 0x0000 0x0000 0x0007 usb_pcdc_linecoding_t
0x21 SET_CONTROL_LINE_STATE (0x22) usb_pcdc_ctrllinestate_t 0x0000 0x0000 None

Class Notifications (Peripheral to Host)

The following class notifications are supported:

Notification Code Description
SERIAL_STATE 0x20 Notification of serial line state

The data types returned are as follows:

bmRequestType bRequest wValue wIndex wLength Data
0xA1 SERIAL_STATE (0x20) 0x0000 0x0000 0x0002 usb_serial_state_bitmap_t
Note
The host is notified with SERIAL_STATE whenever a change in the UART port state is detected. This driver will automatically detect overrun, parity and framing errors. A state notification is performed when a transition from normal to error state is detected.

Virtual COM-port Usage

When connected to a PC the CDC device can be used as a virtual COM port. After enumeration, the CDC class requests GetLineCoding and SetControlLineState are executed by the target, and the CDC device is registered in Windows Device Manager as a virtual COM device.

Registering the CDC device as a virtual COM-port in Windows Device Manager enables data communication with the CDC device via a terminal app such as PuTTY. When changing settings of the serial port in the terminal application, the UART setting is propagated to the firmware via the class request SetLineCoding.

Data input (or file transmission) from the terminal app window is transmitted to the board using endpoint 2 (EP2); data from the board side is transmitted to the PC using EP1.

When the last packet of data received is the maximum packet size, and the terminal determines that there is continuous data, the received data may not be displayed in the terminal. If the received data is smaller than the maximum packet size, the data received up to that point is displayed in the terminal.

Multi Port

This driver supports simultaneous operation with Host Mass Storage Class(HMSC). If the user are using MCU that supports 2 USB modules, such as RA6M3, the user can run PCDC on one USB module and HMSC on the other. This driver does not support simultaneous operation using device classes other than HMSC.

Limitations

Examples

USB PCDC Loopback Example

The main functions of the PCDC loopback example are as follows:

  1. Receives virtual UART configuration data from the host terminal
  2. Loops all other received data back to the host terminal
