MyUSB Library

1.5.0

Written by Dean Camera, 2008.

About this library

Originally based on the AT90USBKEY from Atmel, it is an open-source, driver for the USB-enabled AVR microcontrollers, released under the Lesser GNU Public Licence, Version 3. Currently, the AT90USB1286, AT90USB1287, AT90USB646, AT90USB647, AT90USB162, AT90USB82 and ATMEGA32U4 AVR microcontrollers are supported by the library. Supported boards are the USBKEY, STK525, STK526 and RZUSBSTICK.

The library is currently in a stable release, suitable for download and incorporation into user projects for both host and device modes. For information about the project progression, check out my blog.

MyUSB is written specifically for the free AVR-GCC compiler, and uses several GCC-only extensions to make the library API more streamlined and robust. You can download AVR-GCC for free in a convenient windows package, from the the WinAVR website.

License

The MyUSB library is currently released under the LGPL licence, version 3. Please see the license file included with the library before use.

Compiling

To compile projects built from the MyUSB library, you will need a recent distribution of avr-libc (1.6.2+) and AVR-GCC (4.2+).

Demos and Bootloaders

The MyUSB library ships with several different host and device demos, located in the /Demos/ subdirectory. If this directory is missing, please re-download the project from the project homepage.

Also included with the library are two fully functional bootloaders, one using the DFU USB class and is compatible with Atmel's FLIP software or the open source dfu-programmer project, and the other using the CDC class and the AVR109 protocol to be compatible with such open source software as avrdude and AVR-OSP.

Donate

I am a 19 year old University student studying for a double degree in Computer Science and Electronics Engineering. This leaves little time for any sort of work or leisure. Please consider donating a small amount to myself to support this and my future Open Source projects. You can donate any amount via PayPal on my website, http://www.fourwalledcubicle.com . All donations are greatly appreciated.
