USB stack
Devices running Phoenix-RTOS can act as both sides of USB communication - host and device (client). When acting as a
host, the USB stack is implemented as a server called simply usb, which communicates with specific device drivers
using messages. Those drivers are separate processes and implement class or device specific communication layers.
In order to simplify adding new device drivers libusb is used, more precisely functions found in driver.h header.
Drivers for specific device classes can be found in the phoenix-rtos-devices repository.
When we want Phoenix-RTOS device to act as a device side of the communication, we need to link both libusb and
libusbclient to our program and no additional server applications are needed. libusbclient is responsible for
implementing platform specific details of communicating with USB hardware and is built using phoenix-rtos-devices
repository.
The phoenix-rtos-usb repository contains two directories, that match two build targets: libusb and usb.
Source code
The source code of the USB host stack and Libusb can be obtained with the following command:
git clone http://git.phoenix-rtos.com/phoenix-rtos-usb
