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.

## Supported MCUs

The stack supports the following MCUs:

- **Espressif:** ESP32-S2
- **Dialog:** DA1469x
- **MicroChip:** SAMD11, SAMD21, SAMD51, SAME5x, SAMG (device only)
- **NordicSemi:** nRF52833, nRF52840

[Here is the list of supported Boards](docs/boards.md) 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:

- Communication Class (CDC)
- 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](https://github.com/WICG/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](https://github.com/hathach/mynewt-tinyusb-example) 

## Getting Started

[Here are the details for getting started](docs/getting_started.md) with the stack.
