Description

Implement application specific behavior of a Mass Storage Class (MSC) USB Device.

The MSC class in the USB Component is used for data storage.

Refer to:

• MSC: Mass Storage Class for an overview of the MSC class.
• USB Device Mass Storage for example projects that use the MSC class.

The USB Component allows multiple instances of the MSC class. Each MSC class instance has a separate files and interface functions:

• A configuration file USBD_Config_MSC_n.h.
• An application specific user source code file which may be implemented with the user code template USBD_User_MSC_n.c.
• Functions that start with the prefix USBD_MSCn_ are available for each instance of a MSC class.

This documentation uses n as a placeholder for the instance number 0 - 3. Most applications only require one instance of a MSC class. For the first MSC class instance the instance number is 0:

• USBD_Config_MSC_0.h
• USBD_User_MSC_0.c
• The function prefix is USBD_MSC0_

Software Structure

The handling for the MSC class endpoint events is implemented in USBD_MSCn_Thread which is started by USBD_Initialize. Each instance of a MSC class runs an instance of USBD_MSCn_Thread which calls the data functions USBD_MSCn_Read and USBD_MSCn_Write.

Implementation

To create an USB Device with a MSC class:

• Set the required number for USB:Device:MSC class instances during the RTE Component Selection.
• Set the parameters in the configuration file USBD_Config_MSC_n.h.
• Implement the application specific behavior using a template.

Media Ownership

Sometimes, it is required to implement the ownership control over attached media and changing the ownership between USB and File System. This is required if you have a device that connects to a PC as a USB MSC device while the storage media also needs to be accessible to a user application. Using the two functions USBD_MSCn_SetMediaOwnerUSB and USBD_MSCn_SetMediaOwnerFS you can change the owner of the media to either the USB (the host PC) or the File System (the user application). The user code template USBD_MSC.c provides means to manage the ownership.

The following picture shows the connection of the device to the PC and the user application running on the device:

In the file USBD_MSC.c the variable usbd_msc0_media_own is used to set the ownership of the media device to the application or the File System. In the file USBD_User_MSC.c the variable is used to initialize it at the beginning of the application (in the USBD_MSCn_Initialize function) and to check the ownership of the media (in the USBD_MSCn_CheckMedia function). The application then only makes use of the two functions USBD_MSCn_SetMediaOwnerUSB and USBD_MSCn_SetMediaOwnerFS as explained in this code example.

User Code Templates
There are two user code templates available that help to add support for a MSC device:

1. USBD_User_MSC.c contains all the callback functions that need to be implemented by the user.
2. USBD_MSC.c is a code template for the application specific functionality of a USB Device MSC instance and implements ownership control for attached media devices.

User Code Template USBD_User_MSC.c

The following source code can be used to implement the application specific behavior of a USB MSC Device.
