TinyUSB CDC on STM32F302C8 with STM32 HAL minimum configuration

This implements a basic serial echo using the TinyUSB implementation of a CDC driver.

Important Notes

• This was designed for a custom board using a 16 MHz crystal. Change the frequency by using the clock solver to whatever is your board's frequency.
• Project was generated using STM32CubeMX. The project is designed to be opened in either vscode using the embedded tools extension or STM32CubeIDE.
• I've based it off the notes in the TinyUSB discussions and this repository
• Make sure you do not put extra device classes that aren't implemented in your code (like mass storage) otherwise it will not work! I've only included the minimum required for CDC to work.
• TinyUSB seems to be very unforgiving for newcomers like me, since there are big pitfalls (previous dotpoint) and no obvious way of debugging it using only SWD (My board does not have SWO or secondary UART for their debugging messages since I have used every pin on it), but I will say once it is set up it is way better than the builtin STM32 HAL USB middleware, which sucks because of stuff like needing a delay between CDC transmits, since it does not buffer each transmit.

Instructions

• Enable USB device (but not the builtin STM32 HAL USB CDC middleware)
• Enable the USB/CAN high priority and low priority interrupts
• Copy the usb_descriptors.c usb_descriptors.h tusb_config.h files to your project
• Copy the cdc_task function into main.c. Call tusb_init() after the devices have been initialized in user code 2, then call tud_task() and cdc_task() in the main loop. Optionally copy the renumerate_usb function and call it before tusb_init but after MX_USB_PCD_Init to have the device renumerate to the computer whenever it is reset or re-flashed.
• Add the interrupt handler to the USB/CAN global interrupts in stm32f3xx_it.c. Either return early or use an #if 0 macro to comment out the autogenerated USB IRQ handler (which should not be called).

/**
 * @brief This function handles CAN TX and USB high priority interrupts.
 */
void USB_HP_CAN_TX_IRQHandler(void)
{
  /* USER CODE BEGIN USB_HP_CAN_TX_IRQn 0 */
  tud_int_handler(BOARD_TUD_RHPORT);
#if 0
  /* USER CODE END USB_HP_CAN_TX_IRQn 0 */
  HAL_PCD_IRQHandler(&hpcd_USB_FS);
  /* USER CODE BEGIN USB_HP_CAN_TX_IRQn 1 */
#endif
  /* USER CODE END USB_HP_CAN_TX_IRQn 1 */
}

/**
 * @brief This function handles CAN RX0 and USB low priority interrupts.
 */
void USB_LP_CAN_RX0_IRQHandler(void)
{
  /* USER CODE BEGIN USB_LP_CAN_RX0_IRQn 0 */
  tud_int_handler(BOARD_TUD_RHPORT);
#if 0
  /* USER CODE END USB_LP_CAN_RX0_IRQn 0 */
  HAL_PCD_IRQHandler(&hpcd_USB_FS);
  /* USER CODE BEGIN USB_LP_CAN_RX0_IRQn 1 */
#endif
  /* USER CODE END USB_LP_CAN_RX0_IRQn 1 */
}

• Change parameters in usb_descriptors.c to match your application.

#define USB_VID 0xCaff
#define USB_BCD 0x0200

(...)

// array of pointer to string descriptors
char const *string_desc_arr[] = {
    (const char[]){0x09, 0x04}, // 0: is supported language is English (0x0409)
    "Peterus",                  // 1: Manufacturer
    "Neptunium",                // 2: Product
    NULL,                       // 3: Serials will use unique ID if possible
    "Neptunium CDC",            // 4: CDC Interface
    "Neptunium MSC",            // 5: MSC Interface
};

Note on Windows the "Friendly Name" shown in Device Manager is determined by the driver, not these descriptors.
