#ATMEGA128 SOFTWARE UART SERIAL#
We will use the Atmega32u4's UART to communicate with the PC's serial port. This tutorial is written for the Atmega32u4, but you can fairly easily substitute other AVR chips by modifying the Makefile and the data registers in the avr_time and avr_uart modules below.
#ATMEGA128 SOFTWARE UART INSTALL#
You can install avr-binutils, avr-libc, and avr-gcc from source from, and avrdude from. Sudo apt-get install binutils-avr avr-libc gcc-avr avrdude Ubuntu has packages for each utility, but be warned that they lag behind the latest stable versions, and therefore do not always support the latest microcontrollers. avrdude: A utility to program the Flash and EEPROM of AVRs.avr-libc: The C runtime library for the AVR family of microcontrollers.
avr-binutils: The low-level utilities to build and manipulate object files. This tutorial will assume you have the following tools installed: You will first have to set up your AVR development environment. #ATMEGA128 SOFTWARE UART FULL#
V-USB supports many different clock rates, some even with the internal RC oscillator.You can download the full source code for this tutorial here:. V-USB passes the tests in usb.org’s test utility. This allows implementing devices conforming to the HID or CDC device class. His code is easier to read and understand, but lacks some of the features found in V-USB: Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License or alternatively under a commercial license.ĭick Streefland has stripped down an older version of V-USB to the basics. The level of standards conformance is documented (description of limitations and potential problems). More endpoints, USB descriptors can be better customized. Faster: All encoding/decoding (USB requires NRZI coding and bit stuffing) is done in real-time, not in the main loop after storing away the raw data stream.
Slightly smaller code size in spite of high level language modules.Modular concept: easier to integrate into existing designs.All customizable code written in ANSI-C and thus easier to maintain.
#ATMEGA128 SOFTWARE UART DRIVER#
Our USB driver has the following advantages over Igor’s driver:
Little hardware resources used: only two to three I/O pins.Īdvantages over other Firmware-Only ImplementationsĪ similar driver for the AVR series of microcontrollers is available from Igor Češko. More freedom in the choice of USB descriptors. This may be relevant for battery powered devices. No additional power consumption when USB is disconnected. No additional hardware complexity: simpler PCB, less failures. They don’t work without connection to the host. Stand-alone operation: Some of the USB controllers download their firmware from the host computer into RAM. AVR controllers are faster than most of the controllers with integrated USB and cost less. A good free ANSI-C compiler (GNU gcc) and a free development system for Windows (WinAVR) are available for AVR. V-USB comes with a free shared Vendor- / Product-ID pair.
Most of the controllers with USB support are only available in SMD, which is almost impossible to handle for hobbyists. Standard AVR controllers are usually easier to obtain. Or combine the microcontroller of your choice with a USB chip? Advantages over Microcontrollers with USB Hardware Why not choose a microcontroller with built-in USB hardware? There are several of these available (see ). You can choose the License: Open Source or commercial. Only about 1150 to 1400 bytes code size. High level functionality is written in C and is well commented. Can be clocked with 12 MHz, 15 MHz, 16 MHz 18 MHz or 20 MHz crystal or from a 12.8 MHz or 16.5 MHz internal RC oscillator. No UART, timer, input capture unit or other special hardware is required (except one edge triggered interrupt). Runs on any AVR microcontroller with at least 2 kB of Flash memory, 128 bytes RAM and a clock rate of at least 12 MHz. Comes with freely usable USB identifiers (Vendor-ID and Product-ID pairs). Transfer sizes up to 254 bytes by default, more as configuration option. (Note that the USB specification forbids bulk endpoints for low speed devices, but V-USB supports them to some degree.) Supports multiple endpoints: one control endpoint, two interrupt/bulk-in endpoints and up to 7 interrupt/bulk-out endpoints. #ATMEGA128 SOFTWARE UART MAC OS X#
Example projects demonstrate device and host driver implementations on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Fully USB 1.1 compliant low-speed device, except handling of communication errors and electrical specifications.
