USB CDC-ACM Host Driver Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

This example shows how to use the CDC-ACM Host Driver to allow an ESP chip to communicate with a USB CDC-ACM device.

How to use example

Hardware Required

Two ESP boards that have USB-OTG supported. One will act as USB host and the other as USB device.
Connect USB_D+, USB_D-, GND and +5V signals of USB host to USB device.

Pin Assignment

See common pin assignments for USB Device examples from upper level.

Build and Flash

  1. Build and flash tusb_serial_device example to USB device board.
  2. Build this project and flash it to the USB host board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Running with dual USB CDC device

USB CDC device example tusb_serial_device example can be configured to act as dual CDC device.

In the device example project, enter command idf.py menuconfig and set Component config->TinyUSB Stack->Communication Device Class (CDC)->CDC channel Count to 2.

This settings also changes device's PID, so EXAMPLE_USB_DEVICE_PID in usb-cdc.c must be changed to 0x4002.

Example Output

After the flashing you should see the output at idf monitor:
