TinyUSB is an open-source cross-platform USB Host/Device stack for embedded system. It is designed to be memory-safe with no dynamic allocation and thread-safe with all interrupt events are deferred then handled in the stack's task function.

## Device Stack

Support multiple device configurations by dynamically changing usb descriptors. Low power functions such as suspend, resume and remote wakeup. Following device classes are supported:

- Communication Class (CDC)
- Human Interface Device (HID): Generic (In & Out), Keyboard, Mouse, Gamepad etc ...
- Mass Storage Class (MSC): with multiple LUNs
- Musical Instrument Digital Interface (MIDI)
- Vendor-specific class support with generic In & Out endpoints. Can be used with MS OS 2.0 compatible descriptor to load winUSB driver without INF file.
- [WebUSB](https://github.com/WICG/webusb) with vendor-specific class

## Host Stack

**Most active development is on the Device stack. The Host stack is under rework and largely untested.**

- Human Interface Device (HID): Keyboard, Mouse, Generic
- Mass Storage Class (MSC)
- Hub currently only support 1 level of hub (due to my laziness)

## OS Abtraction layer

Currently the following OS are supported with tinyusb out of the box with a simple change of **CFG_TUSB_OS** macro.

- **No OS**
- **FreeRTOS**
- **Mynewt** Due to the newt package build system, Mynewt examples are better to be on its [own repo](https://github.com/hathach/mynewt-tinyusb-example) 

## Supported MCUs

The stack supports the following MCUs

- **Nordic:** nRF52840
- **NXP:** LPC11Uxx, LPC13xx, LPC175x_6x, LPC177x_8x, LPC18xx, LPC40xx, LPC43xx, LPC51Uxx
- **MicroChip:** SAMD21, SAMD51 (device only)
- **ST:** STM32F4, STM32H7 (device only)

[Here is the list of supported Boards](docs/boards.md)

## Compiler & IDE

The stack is developed with GCC compiler, and should be compilable with others. Folder `examples` provide Makefile and Segger Embedded Studio build support. [Here is instruction to build example](examples/readme.md).

## Getting Started

[Here is the details for getting started](docs/getting_started.md) with the stack.

## Porting

Want to help add TinyUSB support for a new MCU? Read [here](docs/porting.md) for an explanation on the low-level API needed by TinyUSB.

## License

MIT license for all TinyUSB sources `src` folder, [Full license is here](LICENSE). However each file is individually licensed especially those in `lib` and `hw/mcu` folder. Please make sure you understand all the license term for files you use in your project.
