.. zephyr:code-sample:: usb-hid-cdc :name: USB HID and CDC ACM :relevant-api: _usb_device_core_api usb_hid_class input_interface Expose multiple USB HID and CDC ACM instances. Overview ******** This sample app demonstrates use of multiple USB classes with multiple instances. It combines two HID instances and two CDC ACM instances. This sample can be found under :zephyr_file:`samples/subsys/usb/hid-cdc` in the Zephyr project tree. Requirements ************ This project requires an USB device driver and multiple endpoints. The board hardware must have a push button connected via a GPIO pin. These are called "User buttons" on many of Zephyr's :ref:`boards`. The button must be configured using the ``sw0`` :ref:`devicetree ` alias, usually in the :ref:`BOARD.dts file `. You will see this error if you try to build this sample for an unsupported board: .. code-block:: none Unsupported board: sw0 devicetree alias is not defined You may see additional build errors if the ``sw0`` alias exists, but is not properly defined. If the devicetree aliases ``sw1``, ``sw2``, and ``sw3`` are defined, they will also be used as additional buttons as described below. Building and Running ******************** This sample can be built for multiple boards. To build and flash it for the :ref:`nrf52840dk_nrf52840` board: .. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/subsys/usb/hid-cdc :board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840 :goals: build flash :compact: After you have built and flashed the sample app image to your board, plug the board into a host device, for example, a PC running Linux. Two CDC ACM interfaces (for example /dev/ttyACM1 and /dev/ttyACM2) and two HID devices will be detected: .. code-block:: console usb 2-2: new full-speed USB device number 3 using ohci-pci usb 2-2: New USB device found, idVendor=2fe3, idProduct=0003, bcdDevice= 2.03 usb 2-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 2-2: Product: Zephyr HID and CDC ACM sample usb 2-2: Manufacturer: ZEPHYR usb 2-2: SerialNumber: 86FE679A598AC47A cdc_acm 2-2:1.0: ttyACM1: USB ACM device input: ZEPHYR Zephyr HID and CDC ACM sample as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.2/0003:2FE3:0100.0002/input/input8 hid-generic 0003:2FE3:0100.0002: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [ZEPHYR Zephyr HID and CDC ACM sample] on usb-0000:00:06.0-2/input2 cdc_acm 2-2:1.3: ttyACM2: USB ACM device input: ZEPHYR Zephyr HID and CDC ACM sample as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/usb2/2-2/2-2:1.5/0003:2FE3:0100.0003/input/input9 hid-generic 0003:2FE3:0100.0003: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Keyboard [ZEPHYR Zephyr HID and CDC ACM sample] on usb-0000:00:06.0-2/input5 You can now connect to both CDC ACM ports: .. code-block:: console minicom -D /dev/ttyACM1 -b 115200 .. code-block:: console minicom -D /dev/ttyACM2 -b 115200 After both ports have been connected to, messages explaining usage of each port will be displayed: .. code-block:: console Welcome to CDC_ACM_0 Supported commands: up - moves the mouse up down - moves the mouse down right - moves the mouse to right left - moves the mouse to left .. code-block:: console Welcome to CDC_ACM_1 Enter a string and terminate it with ENTER. It will be sent via HID when BUTTON 2 is pressed. You can modify it by sending a new one here. CDC ACM 0 may be used to control the mouse by typing a command and pressing :kbd:`ENTER`. CDC ACM 1 is used to control the keyboard - any string typed into it and finished with :kbd:`ENTER` will be saved on the device and typed back to the host when BUTTON 2 is pressed. Buttons have following functions: - Button 0 moves HID mouse in random direction - Button 1 is a left HID mouse button - Button 2 types the string sent with CDC ACM 1 using HID keyboard - Button 3 is a CAPS LOCK on HID keyboard
