Download

tinyusb uses github as online repository https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb since it is the best place for open source project.

If you are using Linux, you already know how to what to do. But If Windows is your OS, I would suggest to install git and front-end gui such as tortoisegit to begin with.

After downloading/cloning, the code base is composed of

Folder	Description
boards	Source files of supported boards
demos	Source & project files for demonstration application
mcu	Low level mcu core & peripheral drivers (e.g CMSIS )
tests	Unit tests for the stack
tinyusb	All sources files for tinyusb stack itself.
vendor	Source files from 3rd party such as freeRTOS, fatfs etc ...

demos is the folder where all the application & project files are located. There are demos for both device and hosts. For each, there are different projects for each of supported RTOS. Click to have more information on how to build and run device or host demo.

Add tinyusb to your project

It is relatively simple to incorporate tinyusb to your (existing) project

1. Copy core folder tinyusb to your project. Let's say it is your_project/tinyusb
2. Add all the .c in the core folder to your project settings (uvproj, ewp, makefile)
3. Add your_project/tinysb to your include path. Also make sure your current include path also contains the configuration file tusb_config.h. Or you could simply put the tusb_config.h into the tinyusb folder as well.
4. Make sure all required macros are all defined properly in tusb_config.h (configure file in demo application is sufficient, but you need to add a few more such as CFG_TUSB_MCU, CFG_TUSB_OS, CFG_TUSB_OS_TASK_PRIO since they are passed by IDE/compiler to maintain a unique configure for all demo projects).
5. If you use the device stack, make sure you have created/modified usb descriptors for your own need. Ultimately you need to fill out required pointers in tusbd_descriptor_pointers for that stack to work.
6. Add tusb_init() call to your reset initialization code.
7. Implement all enabled classes's callbacks.
8. If you dont use any RTOSes at all, you need to continuously and/or periodically call tusb_task_runner() function. Most of the callbacks and functionality are handled and invoke within the call of that task runner.

int main(void)
{
  your_init_code();
  tusb_init(); // initialize tinyusb stack
  
  while(1) // the mainloop
  {
    your_application_code();
    
    tusb_task_runner(); // handle tinyusb event, task etc ...
  }
}
