usb: Add USB device support packages.
These packages build on top of machine.USBDevice() to provide high level and flexible support for implementing USB devices in Python code. Additional credits, as per included copyright notices: - CDC support based on initial implementation by @hoihu with fixes by @linted. - MIDI support based on initial implementation by @paulhamsh. - HID keypad example based on work by @turmoni. - Everyone who tested and provided feedback on early versions of these packages. This work was funded through GitHub Sponsors. Signed-off-by: Angus Gratton <[email protected]>

# USB Drivers | ||
|
||
These packages allow implementing USB functionality on a MicroPython system | ||
using pure Python code. | ||
|
||
Currently only USB device is implemented, not USB host. | ||
|
||
## USB Device support | ||
|
||
### Support | ||
|
||
USB Device support depends on the low-level | ||
[machine.USBDevice](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/library/machine.USBDevice.html) | ||
class. This class is new and not supported on all ports, so please check the | ||
documentation for your MicroPython version. It is possible to implement a USB | ||
device using only the low-level USBDevice class. However, the packages here are | ||
higher level and easier to use. | ||
|
||
For more information about how to install packages, or "freeze" them into a | ||
firmware image, consult the [MicroPython documentation on "Package | ||
management"](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/packages.html). | ||
|
||
### Examples | ||
|
||
The [examples/device](examples/device) directory in this repo has a range of | ||
examples. After installing necessary packages, you can download an example and | ||
run it with `mpremote run EXAMPLE_FILENAME.py` ([mpremote | ||
docs](https://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/reference/mpremote.html#mpremote-command-run)). | ||
|
||
#### Unexpected serial disconnects | ||
|
||
If you normally connect to your MicroPython device over a USB serial port ("USB | ||
CDC"), then running a USB example will disconnect mpremote when the new USB | ||
device configuration activates and the serial port has to temporarily | ||
disconnect. It is likely that mpremote will print an error. The example should | ||
still start running, if necessary then you can reconnect with mpremote and type | ||
Ctrl-B to restore the MicroPython REPL and/or Ctrl-C to stop the running | ||
example. | ||
|
||
If you use `mpremote run` again while a different USB device configuration is | ||
already active, then the USB serial port may disconnect immediately before the | ||
example runs. This is because mpremote has to soft-reset MicroPython, and when | ||
the existing USB device is reset then the entire USB port needs to reset. If | ||
this happens, run the same `mpremote run` command again. | ||
|
||
We plan to add features to `mpremote` so that this limitation is less | ||
disruptive. Other tools that communicate with MicroPython over the serial port | ||
will encounter similar issues when runtime USB is in use. | ||
|
||
### Initialising runtime USB | ||
|
||
The overall pattern for enabling USB devices at runtime is: | ||
|
||
1. Instantiate the Interface objects for your desired USB device. | ||
2. Call `usb.device.get()` to get the singleton object for the high-level USB device. | ||
3. Call `init(...)` to pass the desired interfaces as arguments, plus any custom | ||
keyword arguments to configure the overall device. | ||
|
||
An example, similar to [mouse_example.py](examples/device/mouse_example.py): | ||
|
||
```py | ||
m = usb.device.mouse.MouseInterface() | ||
usb.device.get().init(m, builtin_driver=True) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Setting `builtin_driver=True` means that any built-in USB serial port will still | ||
be available. Otherwise, you may permanently lose access to MicroPython until | ||
the next time the device resets. | ||
|
||
See [Unexpected serial disconnects](#Unexpected-serial-disconnects), above, for | ||
an explanation of possible errors or disconnects when the runtime USB device | ||
initialises. | ||
|
||
Placing the call to `usb.device.get().init()` into the `boot.py` of the | ||
MicroPython file system allows the runtime USB device to initialise immediately | ||
on boot, before any built-in USB. This is a feature (not a bug) and allows you | ||
full control over the USB device, for example to only enable USB HID and prevent | ||
REPL access to the system. | ||
|
||
However, note that calling this function on boot without `builtin_driver=True` | ||
will make the MicroPython USB serial interface permanently inaccessible until | ||
you "safe mode boot" (on supported boards) or completely erase the flash of your | ||
device. | ||
|
||
### Package usb-device | ||
|
||
This base package contains the common implementation components for the other | ||
packages, and can be used to implement new and different USB interface support. | ||
All of the other `usb-device-<name>` packages depend on this package, and it | ||
will be automatically installed as needed. | ||
|
||
Specicially, this package provides the `usb.device.get()` function for accessing | ||
the Device singleton object, and the `usb.device.core` module which contains the | ||
low-level classes and utility functions for implementing new USB interface | ||
drivers in Python. The best examples of how to use the core classes is the | ||
source code of the other USB device packages. | ||
|
||
### Package usb-device-keyboard | ||
|
||
This package provides the `usb.device.keyboard` module. See | ||
[keyboard_example.py](examples/device/keyboard_example.py) for an example | ||
program. | ||
|
||
### Package usb-device-mouse | ||
|
||
This package provides the `usb.device.mouse` module. See | ||
[mouse_example.py](examples/device/mouse_example.py) for an example program. | ||
|
||
### Package usb-device-hid | ||
|
||
This package provides the `usb.device.hid` module. USB HID (Human Interface | ||
Device) class allows creating a wide variety of device types. The most common | ||
are mouse and keyboard, which have their own packages in micropython-lib. | ||
However, using the usb-device-hid package directly allows creation of any kind | ||
of HID device. | ||
|
||
See [hid_custom_keypad_example.py](examples/device/hid_custom_keypad_example.py) | ||
for an example of a Keypad HID device with a custom HID descriptor. | ||
|
||
### Package usb-device-cdc | ||
|
||
This package provides the `usb.device.cdc` module. USB CDC (Communications | ||
Device Class) is most commonly used for virtual serial port USB interfaces, and | ||
that is what is supported here. | ||
|
||
The example [cdc_repl_example.py](examples/device/cdc_repl_example.py) | ||
demonstrates how to add a second USB serial interface and duplicate the | ||
MicroPython REPL between the two. | ||
|
||
### Package usb-device-midi | ||
|
||
This package provides the `usb.device.midi` module. This allows implementing | ||
USB MIDI devices in MicroPython. | ||
|
||
The example [midi_example.py](examples/device/midi_example.py) demonstrates how | ||
to create a simple MIDI device to send MIDI data to and from the USB host. |

# MicroPython USB CDC REPL example | ||
# | ||
# Example demonstrating how to use os.dupterm() to provide the | ||
# MicroPython REPL on a dynamic CDCInterface() serial port. | ||
# | ||
# To run this example: | ||
# | ||
# 1. Make sure `usb-device-cdc` is installed via: mpremote mip install usb-device-cdc | ||
# | ||
# 2. Run the example via: mpremote run cdc_repl_example.py | ||
# | ||
# 3. mpremote will exit with an error after the previous step, because when the | ||
# example runs the existing USB device disconnects and then re-enumerates with | ||
# the second serial port. If you check (for example by running mpremote connect | ||
# list) then you should now see two USB serial devices. | ||
# | ||
# 4. Connect to one of the new ports: mpremote connect PORTNAME | ||
# | ||
# It may be necessary to type Ctrl-B to exit the raw REPL mode and resume the | ||
# interactive REPL after mpremote connects. | ||

# HID descriptor, in this case for a USB number keypad. | ||
# | ||

# 3. mpremote will exit with an error after the previous step, because when the | ||
# example runs the existing USB device disconnects and then re-enumerates with | ||
# the custom HID interface present. At this point, the example is running. | ||
# | ||
# 4. To see output from the example, re-connect: mpremote connect PORTNAME | ||
