USB stack implementation using ChibiOS
Notes
- To use, unpack or symlink ChibiOS here, to
chibios.
- For gcc options, inspect
chibios.mk. For instance, I enabled -Wno-missing-field-initializers, because TMK common bits generated a lot of hits on that.
Also pay attention to -O0 (enabled for debugging); for deployment use -O2.
- USB string descriptors are a mess. I did not find a way to cleanly generate the right structures from actual strings, so the definitions in individual keyboards'
config.h are ugly as heck.
- There are some random constants left so far, e.g. 5ms sleep between calling
keyboard_task in main.c. There should be no such in usb_main.c. Everything is based on timers/interrupts/kernel scheduling (well except keyboard_task), so no periodically called things (again, except keyboard_task, which is just how TMK is designed).
- It is easy to add some code for testing (e.g. blink LED, do stuff on button press, etc...) - just create another thread in
main.c, it will run independently of the keyboard business.
- The USB stack works pretty completely; however there are bits of other TMK stuff that are not done yet:
Immediate todo
Missing / not working (TMK vs ChibiOS bits)
- eeprom / bootmagic (will be chip dependent)
- bootloader jump (chip dependent)
Tried with
- ChibiOS 3.0.1 and ST F072RB DISCOVERY board.
- Need to test on other STM32 chips (F3, F4) to make it as much chip-independent as possible.
