@par Application Description
Use of the USB device application based on the Device Communication Class (CDC) and
following the PSTN subprotocol. This application uses the USB Device and UART peripherals.
This is a typical example on how to use the STM32F0xx USB Device peripheral where the STM32 MCU
behaves as a USB-to-RS232 bridge following the Virtual COM Port (VCP) implementation.
- On one side, the STM32 exchanges data with a PC host through USB interface in Device mode.
- On the other side, the STM32 exchanges data with other devices (same host, other host,
other devices…) through the UART interface (RS232).
At the beginning of the main program the HAL_Init() function is called to reset all the peripherals,
initialize the Flash interface and the systick. The user is provided with the SystemClock_Config()
function to configure the system clock (SYSCLK) to run at 48 MHz.
The 48 MHz clock for the USB can be derived from one of the two following sources:
– PLL clock(clocked by the HSE): If the USB uses the PLL as clock source.
– RC48 Clock (HSI48): The HSI48 clock is generated from an internal 48 MHz RC oscillator, coupled with
the clock recovery system (CRS).
The CRS allows automatic trimming of the internal HSI48, synchronized with USB SOF signal at 1KHz rate,
to guarantee its optimal accuracy over the whole device operational range.
User can select USB clock from HSI48 or PLL through macro defined in main.h
(USE_USB_CLKSOURCE_CRSHSI48 and USE_USB_CLKSOURCE_PLL).
When the VCP application is started, the STM32 MCU is enumerated as serial communication port and is
configured in the same way (baudrate, data format, parity, stop bit) as it would configure a standard
COM port. The 7-bit data length with no parity control is NOT supported.
During enumeration phase, three communication pipes "endpoints" are declared in the CDC class
implementation (PSTN sub-class):
- 1 x Bulk IN endpoint for receiving data from STM32 device to PC host:
When data are received over UART they are saved in the buffer "UserTxBuffer". Periodically, in a
timer callback the state of the buffer "UserTxBuffer" is checked. If there are available data, they
are transmitted in response to IN token otherwise it is NAKed.
The polling period depends on "CDC_POLLING_INTERVAL" value.
- 1 x Bulk OUT endpoint for transmitting data from PC host to STM32 device:
When data are received through this endpoint they are saved in the buffer "UserRxBuffer" then they
are transmitted over UART using interrupt mode and in meanwhile the OUT endpoint is NAKed.
Once the transmission is over, the OUT endpoint is prepared to receive next packet in
HAL_UART_TxCpltCallback().
- 1 x Interrupt IN endpoint for setting and getting serial-port parameters:
When control setup is received, the corresponding request is executed in CDC_Itf_Control().
In this application, two requests are implemented:
- Set line: Set the bit rate, number of Stop bits, parity, and number of data bits
- Get line: Get the bit rate, number of Stop bits, parity, and number of data bits
The other requests (send break, control line state) are not implemented.
@note Receiving data over UART is handled by interrupt while transmitting is handled by DMA allowing
hence the application to receive data at the same time it is transmitting another data (full-
duplex feature).
The support of the VCP interface is managed through the ST Virtual COM Port driver available for
download from www.st.com.
@note The user has to check the list of the COM ports in Device Manager to find out the number of the
COM ports that have been assigned (by OS) to the VCP interface.
This application uses UART as a communication interface. The UART instance and associated resources
(GPIO, NVIC) can be tailored in "usbd_cdc_interface.h" header file according to your hardware
configuration. Moreover, this application can be customized to communicate with interfaces other than UART.
For that purpose a template CDC interface is provided in:
Middlewares/ST/STM32_USB_Device_Library/Class/CDC/Src directory.
To run this application, the user can use one of the following configurations:
- Configuration 1:
Connect USB cable to host and UART (RS232) to a different host (PC or other device) or to same host.
In this case, you can open two hyperterminals to send/receive data to/from host to/from device.
- Configuration 2:
Connect USB cable to Host and connect UART TX pin to UART RX pin on the STM32072B-EVAL board
(Loopback mode). In this case, you can open one terminal (relative to USB com port or UART com port)
and all data sent from this terminal will be received by the same terminal in loopback mode.
This mode is useful for test and performance measurements.
Set Hyperterminal configuration as follows :
- Baudrate : 115200
- Data : 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits : 1
- Flow Control : None
@note Care must be taken when using HAL_Delay(), this function provides accurate delay (in milliseconds)
based on variable incremented in SysTick ISR. This implies that if HAL_Delay() is called from
a peripheral ISR process, then the SysTick interrupt must have higher priority (numerically lower)
than the peripheral interrupt. Otherwise the caller ISR process will be blocked.
To change the SysTick interrupt priority you have to use HAL_NVIC_SetPriority() function.
@note The application need to ensure that the SysTick time base is always set to 1 millisecond
to have correct HAL operation.
@note To reduce the example footprint, the toolchain dynamic allocation is replaced by a static allocation
by returning the address of a pre-defined static buffer with the CDC class structure size.

@par Hardware and Software environment
- This example runs on STM32F072VB devices.
- This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM32072B-EVAL RevB board and can be easily tailored
to any other supported device and development board.
- STM32072B-EVAL Set-up
- Connect the STM32072B-EVAL board to the PC through 'USB Type A-Male
to A-Male'
- Connect the STM32072B-EVAL board to the PC (or to another evaluation board) through RS232 (USART)
serial cable CN10 connector. Please ensure that jumper JP7 is fitted in RS232_RX position and
jumper JP10 in TX position.
- For loopback mode test: remove RS232 cable on CN10 and connect directly USART TX and RX pins:
PD5 and PD6 (with a cable or a jumper).
@par How to use it ?
In order to make the program work, you must do the following:
- Open your preferred toolchain
- Rebuild all files and load your image into target memory
- Run the example
- Install the USB virtual COM port driver
- Find out the number of the COM port assigned to the STM32 CDC device
- Open a serial terminal application and start the communication
