USB FEED DRIVER
ARMv7 Cortex™ M3 / STM32F103
15.05.15
Key features
-
Device uses FEED protocol, appears on USB host as a standard USB CDC ACM port, so for the "install" device need only inf file (for Windows)
-
The device can use interrupt provided USB CDC class
-
High transfer speed: 4,5 Mbit / s. And this is not the limit, as the size of the buffer Bulk point only 62 bytes (Full Speed - 12 Mbit / s), which may be increased up to the maximum permitted by the USB standard in 1024 and the device is transferred to the mode of High Speed (480 Mbit / s).
-
The small size of the code device driver ~ 1,5 kB (ARMv7 Cortex ™ M3 - STM32F103 / optimization -O2). The driver does not use the standard libraries (STM32F10x_StdPeriph_Lib_Vxxx / STM32_USB-FS-Device_Lib_Vxxx)
-
A high ratio of the sizes of the payload to the service information in the frame. For example, from 255 bytes of allowable frame size, only 6 bytes are service (2.35%) for 31-bit interface addresses and 3 bytes (1.17%) for 8-bit addresses.
-
Small traffic of transfers. The minimum size frame 3 bytes (read operation from 8-bit interface address).
-
Large range of interface addresses - 2 147 483 648 (31-bit addressing)
-
FEED driver frees the devices developer from having to study the work of USB and presents it simply as a communications link
-
FEED protocol with minimal changes can be extended to any other communications link
-
The integrity of each frame is protected by CRC8
Feed test tool Windows (Qt example USB FEED application and uses CUSBFeed class)
Linux Debian (LXDE)
Linux Ubuntu (KDE)
