usbModel

The usbModel is a software model of both a USB host and device to standard USB 1.1, with hooks for USB 2.0 enhancements. Each model can be used independently, with the host model a generic implementation, and the device model an example of a specific communications device class (CDC) implementation. The models have been integrated with the VProc Virtual Processor to drive USB signals in a Verilog or VHDL simulation, with scripts for running on various open-source (Icarus, Verilator, NVC, GHDL) and commercial (Questa/ModelSim, Vivado) simulators. This allows the model to be used to drive device, hub, and host logic implementations.

Host Model Features

  • Automatic checks for connection/disconnection.
  • Automatic generation of SOF token packets each frame.
  • Ability to generate control transactions.
    • Get device, interface, endpoint, string, and class specific descriptors.
    • Set device address.
    • Get device, interface, and endpoint statuses.
    • Get and set device configuration (enable/disable).
    • Get and set interface alternative.
    • Set and clear device, interface, and endpoint features.
    • Get endpoint synch frame state.
  • Generate bulk and isochronous OUT packets.
  • Generate bulk and isochronous IN packets.
  • Suspend a device.
  • Reset a device.
  • Display formatted output of received packet data.

Device Model Features

  • Ability to connect and disconnect from USB line.
  • Suspension detection.
  • Reset detection.
  • Implements a CDC device with:
    • One device configuration.
    • Two interfaces.
    • Three endpoints.
      • One a notify endpoint on one interface.
      • Two data endpoints (IN and OUT) on the other interface.
  • Responses to control packets.
  • Bulk data transfers IN and OUT.
    • A user callback can be registered at construction, called for each transfer request received.
  • Display formatted output of received packet data.
