TinyUSB is an open-source cross-platform USB Host/Device stack for embedded system, designed to be memory-safe with no dynamic allocation and thread-safe with all interrupt events are deferred then handled in the non-ISR task function.

Here is the list of supported Boards that can be used with provided examples.
Device Stack
Supports multiple device configurations by dynamically changing usb descriptors. Low power functions such like suspend, resume, and remote wakeup. Following device classes are supported:
- USB Audio Class 2.0 (UAC2) still work in progress
- Bluetooth Host Controller Interface (BTH HCI)
- Communication Class (CDC)
- Device Firmware Update (DFU): only Runtinme
- Human Interface Device (HID): Generic (In & Out), Keyboard, Mouse, Gamepad etc ...
- Mass Storage Class (MSC): with multiple LUNs
- Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)
- Network with RNDIS, CDC-ECM (work in progress)
- USB Test and Measurement Class (USBTMC)
- Vendor-specific class support with generic In & Out endpoints. Can be used with MS OS 2.0 compatible descriptor to load winUSB driver without INF file.
- WebUSB with vendor-specific class
Host Stack
Most active development is on the Device stack. The Host stack is under rework and largely untested.
- Human Interface Device (HID): Keyboard, Mouse, Generic
- Mass Storage Class (MSC)
- Hub currently only supports 1 level of hub (due to my laziness)
OS Abstraction layer
TinyUSB is completely thread-safe by pushing all ISR events into a central queue, then process it later in the non-ISR context task function. It also uses semaphore/mutex to access shared resources such as CDC FIFO. Therefore the stack needs to use some of OS's basic APIs. Following OSes are already supported out of the box.
- No OS : Disabling USB IRQ is used as way to provide mutex
- FreeRTOS
- Mynewt Due to the newt package build system, Mynewt examples are better to be on its own repo
Getting Started
