USB shell

Overview

The sample enables new experimental USB device support and the shell function. It is primarily intended to aid in the development and testing of USB controller drivers and new USB support.

Building and flashing

Assuming the board has a supported USB device controller, the example can be built like:

west build -b reel_board samples/subsys/usb/shell
west flash

For the USB host functionality a supported host controller is required, currently it is only MAX3421E. The example can be built as follows:

west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 samples/subsys/usb/shell -- -DSHIELD=sparkfun_max3421e -DCONFIG_UHC_DRIVER=y -DCONFIG_USB_HOST_STACK=y
west flash

It is theoretically possible to build USB support using virtual USB controllers for all platforms, eventually the devicetree overlay has to be adjusted slightly if the platform has already defined or not zephyr_uhc0 or zephyr_udc0 nodelabels.

west build -b nrf52840dk/nrf52840 samples/subsys/usb/shell -- -DEXTRA_CONF_FILE=virtual.conf -DDTC_OVERLAY_FILE=virtual.overlay
west flash
