Detailed Description

USBXpress interface library.

Introduction

This module provides a firmware interface which communicates with the Silicon Labs USBXpress driver and allows firmware to interact with host programs via the USBXpress DLL.

Theory of operation:

The USBxpress library interfaces with the Silicon Labs USBXpress drivers. The interface consists of two data transmission pipes (RX and TX) which are used to send and receive data.

Data

Data reception and transmission is handled with USBX_blockRead() and USBX_blockWrite() . Upon completion of a sent or received transfer the user is called back with USBX_RX_COMPLETE or USBX_TX_COMPLETE. If the user calls USBX_blockRead() with a numBytes value smaller than the number of bytes received in the transfer, the user is called back with both USBX_RX_COMPLETE and USBX_RX_OVERRUN set.

Additional Resources

This driver sits on top of the EFM32 USB Library.

Interrupts

This library handles USB interrupts and will enable USB interrupts at its discretion. It will NOT enable global interrupts and the user is responsible for enabling global interrupts.

Typedef Documentation

typedef void(* USBX_apiCallback_t) (void)

Define user API call-back function with:

void my_callback(void) {}

then pass it to USBX_apiCallbackEnable() with:

USBX_apiCallbackEnable(my_callback);

The call-back routine is called by the USBXpress library from within the USB interrupt. It should run as quickly as possible.

If timing becomes an issue, consider using the call-back routine to set user-defined flags that may be serviced in the project's main loop. Additionally note that the call-back routine will be called for every call-back source, whether or not the user checks for that call-back source. All code except variable declarations and the USBX_getCallbackSource() call should check for a pertinent call-back source (see the USB Status Flags section for all call-back sources).
