USB CDC with the FRDM-K64F, finally!

Posted on by

Sometimes I think that a problem should be solvable in a few minutes, and then it turns out that it lingers around for months. Very, very frustrating! Such a thing is getting the USB 4.1.1 stack running on the FRDM-K64F board. I have that board since April 2014, and it took me 7 months to get the FSL USB stack running on it :-(.

FRDM-K64F Board

FRDM-K64F Board

I’m using the Freescale USB V4.1.1 stack and Processor Expert McuOnEclipse FSL_USB_Stack component successfully in many projects (ColdFire, S08 and Kinetis). But despite all my trials and debugging, the USB on the K64F failed to enumerate on the host.

💡 Freescale discontinued the USB V4.1.1 stack, and newer Kinetis devices are only supported with the USB stack in the Kinetis SDK. That Kinetis SDK stack is very different from the V4.1.1 stack, and only supports newer Kinetis Devices. So using that SDK stack was not an option.

Of course I have not working on that problem full-time, but nearly every week-end I thought that this problem should be solvable. Usually to port the stack to another Kinetis device is very easy: make sure the USB peripheral gets clocked at 48 MHz, check the USB interrupt vector location, and it simply works. But not for the K64F on the FRDM-K64F Board :-(.

I was already close to give up on that topic, until I reader ‘Obi’ (thank you, thank you, thank you!) posted a tip in a previous blog post: The problem is that the K64F has a memory protection unit, and this needs to be disabled before using the USB!

The fix for K64F has been committed on GitHub, and will be available with the next release of the components on SourceForge.

To use USB with the FRDM-K64F, create a Processor Expert project, then add the FSL_USB_Stack component to the project:

FSL_USB_CDC Component

FSL_USB_CDC Component

Select the Init_USB_OTG_VAR0 (for Kinetis) and the USB CDC Device Class:

USB CDC Device

In the Init_USB_OTG component, have the clock gate enabled and make sure that you have a 48 MHz USB module clock:

USB Init Clock

USB Init Clock

💡 The Clock divider input depends on how you have configured your CPU clock, see FRDM-K64F at Maximum Speed of 120 MHz.

The USB interrupts are disabled on startup, the interrupt will be enabled later in the USB stack initialization:

USB Init Interrupts

USB Init Interrupts

In the USB CDC component, I need to select my device:

USB CDC Device Selection

USB CDC Device Selection

The USB CDC device uses two ring buffers for the data:

USB CDC with RingBuffers

USB CDC with RingBuffers

Set both the Rx and Tx buffers to a reasonable size (I use 64 bytes):

USB CDC Ring Buffer Size

USB CDC Ring Buffer Size

With this I’m ready to use the USB CDC. Below is an example code using it:

static uint8_t cdc_buffer[USB1_DATA_BUFF_SIZE];
static uint8_t in_buffer[USB1_DATA_BUFF_SIZE];

static void CDC_Run(void) {
  int i, cnt = 0;
  uint32_t val = 0;
  unsigned char buf[16];

  for(;;) {
    while(CDC1_App_Task(cdc_buffer, sizeof(cdc_buffer))==ERR_BUSOFF) {
      /* device not enumerated */
      LED1_Neg(); LED2_Off();
      WAIT1_Waitms(10);
    }
    LED1_Off(); LED2_Neg();
    if (CDC1_GetCharsInRxBuf()!=0) {
      i = 0;
      while(   i<sizeof(in_buffer)-1
            && CDC1_GetChar(&in_buffer[i])==ERR_OK
           )
      {
        i++;
      }
      in_buffer[i] = '\0';
      (void)CDC1_SendString((unsigned char*)"echo: ");
      (void)CDC1_SendString(in_buffer);
      UTIL1_strcpy(buf, sizeof(buf), (unsigned char*)"val: ");
      UTIL1_strcatNum32u(buf, sizeof(buf), val);
      UTIL1_strcat(buf, sizeof(buf), (unsigned char*)"\r\n");
      (void)CDC1_SendString(buf);
      val++;
    } else {
      WAIT1_Waitms(10);
      cnt++;
      if ((cnt%1024)==0) { /* from time to time, write some text */
        (void)CDC1_SendString((unsigned char*)"Type some text and it will echo.\r\n");
        CDC1_SendBlock((unsigned char*)"hello?\r\n", sizeof("hello?\r\n")-1);
      }
    }
  }
}

With this, USB CDC enumerates and runs with the K64F :-).

Summary

Sometimes it takes a long time for a break through, as in this case. And as in this case, the right hint can come from somebody else. A big “thank you” to ‘Obi’!!!! I’m sure many other users of the FRDM-K64F board have waiting for that USB working.

An example project for KDS V1.1.1 is available on GitHub.

Happy USBing 🙂

  1. is this why I can’t get a zigbee module to communicate? Like you I have been trying for months!
    So using the mbed compiler how do I turn off the MPU?

    PS I still cant get any sense out of the KDS too many stupid hurdles to jump, and I dont know where to start, especially as the NON beta version is so different in many ways that no tutorials are applicable!

    • How is your zigbee module connected to the microcontroller? SPI? I think that you might see a different problem. But maybe as for my problem, it is just a silly setting somewhere. I don’t use mbed any more, as too complicated and not usable for real development, or to solve problems like this.

      PS: What is so different? Start with the menu File > New > Kinetis Design Studio Project.

  3. Hi Eric, can you clarify between the FSL_USB_Stack and the LDD_USB and which you would recommend for different processors. I’m not clear from your discussion.
    I have KDS1.1 with your latest PE and FRDM-K20D50 for prototyping and target custom board with MK20DX128VLH7
    My objective is to test the stability of the USB Host MSC with a USB stick like some of your example projects. This is to do ADC readings and then write them to the USB stick.
    In the final application I’m looking to have USB OTG, with the capability of writing to a USB stick when plugged in, or using a USB HOST CDC if plugged in (Android Device or plain modem), and also USB Device if computer plugged in.
    Many thanks

    • Hi neilh20,
      There are three different USB stacks from Freescale: the USB (aka medical) V4.1.1 stack (which builds the foundation of my FSL_USB_Stack component, the MQX USB stack (in MQX), and the Kinetis SDK USB stack.
      The LDD_USB stack has been orphaned/discontinued by Freescale, and is yet again a different implementation of the V4.1.1 stack from Freescale. Yes, it is still there for older devices, but is not provided any more for new devices. The new way is to use the USB stack in the Kinetis SDK. I have created my own FSL_USB_Stack because the USB_LDD was a) not easy to use and b) had many issues. The V4.1.1 stack at least was working for me, so I created a component for it.
      Going forward, you probably have to look at the FSL Kinetis SDK USB stack, as this is maintained by Freescale.
      Good luck!

    I didn’t realise that you had difficulties with the USB for this time – the problem was however discussed here at the beginning of the year.

    Note also that if you want to work with descriptors, strings etc. directly from Flash for efficiency (I think the FSL stack copies everything to RAM) the K64 needs the USB controller’s access rights to be set to FMC_PFAPR – K64 USB is bus master 4 but other devices have different numbering – eg. K60 USB is 3).

    • Hi Mark,
      yes, when I found the problem with the memory controller, I remembered something having seen in the forums (thanks for the link!). Yes, by default for Kinetis the stack puts the descriptor into RAM.

  6. Hello Eric, do you think this component in KDS1.1 should work with the FRDM-M20D50.
    When added FSL_USB_Stack(& configuring) and then FatFsMem_USB_MSD and FAT_FileSystem to the project has some problems that look like a code cleanup.
    On compiling Expecting
    Event.c: delay_counter – 1mS up counter (can do that)
    host_ch9.c:624 USB_lock() –> asm() – more esoteric issues

    Also requires GenericTimeDate TmDr1.c – (eventhough got RTC_LDD) I guess it wants a tick – but this is now supplied to the FreeRTOS

    Anyway just checking before I dig deeper, I think I have your Components 2014-10-17 Beans installed. Thanks for any insights.

  7. Hi Erich,

    What about the Freescale Medical stack v5.0 beta? Is that the future for the KL25Z and KL46Z MCUs? It was released in May 2014. The Kinetis SDK doesn’t seem to support the KL25Z and KL46Z even though they belong to the Kinetis family. I’m basing my assumptions on the content provided by these two links:

  8. Hi Erich,

    What about Freescale’s Medical USB stack v5.0 beta? Is that also discontinued? It just came out in May 2014. I looked at the Kinetis SDK and it doesn’t explicitly support for the KL25 and KL46 MCUs.

    Also, what is the purpose of the new “Use USB stack initialization” feature on the FSL_USB_CDC_Device component? Before this change, only the “Call Init Method” option was available. I see that you have both of these options set to “yes” on this post. I just updated to the most recent PEupd files and I’m confused by this change.

  9. Hi Eric, I feel like I’m asking a lot of qu .. hope you don’t mind.:)
    To get a working toolchain I’ve switched to a FRDM-K64 brd, and upgrade to a fresh KDS1.1.1. Then I’ve imported your above project from my local updated copy of GitHub\mcuoneclipse\Examples\KDS\FRDM-K64F120M\FRDM-K64F_USB_CDC
    and it came in, I checked all the options you mention, and it built cleanly.
    I couldn’t find MPU_CESR in the init anywhere (I’m guess I’m working off your PE beans_17.10.2014.PEupd and not the newer downloaded
    GitHub\mcuoneclipse\Drivers\FSL_USB_Stack.drv which is updated)
    So I’ve added it my init before PE_low_level_init();
    I can download the built .elf over the configured debugger Segger ./USB SDA.
    However in the “Device Manager” I can’t find any PE CDC OSBD port as you describe in virtual-comusb-cdc-for-osbdmosjtag.
    I’ve downloaded http://www.pemicro.com/osbdm and installed it – I’m on Win8.1 so hope that isn’t causing an issue.
    I’ve rebooted my Win8.1 to ensure the drivers got in- but nothing showing inder Ports (COM & LPT) except for my segger JLINK CDC UART Port (I’m guessing from USB Controller J-Link OB CDC)
    Any suggestions gratefully accepted. 🙂

      MPU_CESR change has been commited on GitHub, but not released as *.PEupd files on SourcForge yet. You did the right thing adding this as a workaround before PE_Low_Level_Init() (I did the same initially). You need to update your FRDM board to the latest firmware (but you need a non-win8.1 machine for this), see https://mcuoneclipse.com/2013/10/12/frdm-board-bootloader-fails-with-windows-8-1-preview/ and https://mcuoneclipse.com/2013/12/14/new-pe-opensda-firmware-v114/

      • Thanks for the quick answ. . seems like I’m getting into USB CDC hole with all the USB drivers- and Win8.1 .
        I’ve tried switching to a Linux Ubuntu 14.04 and installed the PE driver there – and then used lsusb to list connections, but no luck there.
        It doesn’t come up with USB SDA either I guess the K64F uUSB is OpenSDA Segger so also has to have matching drivers installed on Ubuntu . Bit of bummer.
        The other alternative – maybe an ignorant qu as I don’t get the USB architecture – I wonder are there other VID: PID combinations for another serial port on the segger J-Link OB CDC?

        • No issues to report on USB CDC on Win 8.1. On the K64F, it depends what USB CDC you are using (depends if you are using P&E, Segger or OpenOCD/CMSIS-DAP firmware). If you are using the OpenOCD/CMSIS-DAP, then it is the mbed serial driver. If you are using the P&E firmware, it is the P&E CDC driver, if it is the Segger firmware/application, then it is the Segger Driver. All use a different PID/VID.

  10. Well I finally got some communications -but not all good news.
    On my Win8.1 machine I installed VisualStudioExpress2013 and wdksetupe_driver.exe – to be able to use usbView.exe
    On plugging in the user uUSB connector cold into the FRDM-K64 board finally something happened on my Win8.1 Driver Manager and it showed “Other Devices” “FSL CDC Device” – which is of course the name it is given in
    FRDM-K64F120M\FRDM-K64F_USB_CDC\Documentation\cdc.inf
    I followed the rest of the install instructions – however the upgrade Win8.1 security jumped in stopped the installation with
    “The third-party INF does not contain digital signature information”
    The only way round it seems is to disable all signature checking for all drivers, not just USB drivers. I also found this
    http://www.davidegrayson.com/signing/ go to “Installing a driver package”
    However I switched the USB Host to Ubuntu 14.04. I had installed PEmicro for Ubuntu yesterday – but no effect.
    Then I installed Wireshark and a few other utilities – and suddenly I was seeing a usb show up with
    lsusb
    and “dmesg” confirmed it
    and further “ls /dev” showed a ttyACM0 appearing/dissappearing
    finally with “sudo minicom -s” setting the serial to ttyACM0 / 115Kbaurd- and then saving as ‘dfl’ (default I guess) – I had comms over CDC/USB to FRDM-K64 – and proving the basic software connection 🙂

      the driver files are already present on Windows. All what you need is to point to the right .inf file for it (text file). That .inf file is generated inside the project, in the Documentation folder. It has as well a readme in it, and you need to follow that instructions by the letter (do *not* let Windows pick the drivers for you!).

        Today I tried to install the CDC driver on Windows 10 (Brazilian Portuguese version). A generic “Serial USB device” was installed and worked well with Termite – I was able to send and receive data over USB. My board is based on MKL25Z128. However, when I tried to communicate using a software that uses the MSCOMM component, that COM port was not recognized. After that I have forced Windows to install the cdc.inf from KDS2.0. It was necessary disable driver signature verification, as related above. The COM string id on Windows Device Manager changed from “Serial USB Device” to “FSL CDC Device” as expected, but the enumerated COM didn’t work either through that MSCOMM software. Your thoughts about will be very welcome, thank you!

        Reading 4GB USB flash keys is straightforward, however we are in no way able to read keys with greater capacity: the “opendir” FAT_filesystem component response is always “FR_NO_FILESYSTEM, /* (13) There is no valid FAT volume */”
        We’ll look for that in a second time when all the other pieces of the puzzle are in place.

  16. This program uses the components FSL_USB_Stack, FatFsmem_USB_MSD, FAT_FileSystem and FreeRTOS. The USB memory stick gives the user the possibility to update the application data (only read). The limit of 4GB sticks (sorry for “key” that comes from Italian) in this case is not very friendly, and it will be more and more difficult to find as time goes by. There is also a separate bootloader program residing in lower flash space used for user application update. The lower layers of the application are globally debugged and we are finalizing the user I/F (based on TSS and D4D).

  19. Hi Erich.

    I have a question concerning a hardware issue related to USB on Kinetis devices. I’m just wondering if the internal K64 USB module includes any buffer of voltage regulator to ensure 5V on trensfer lines DN and DP? I presume that USB standard requires 5V while the K64 operates on 3.3V. I read about USB Voltage Regulator in K64 datasheet but it’s only mentioned about the adjustment of 5V external supply voltage from USB cable to 3.3V operating voltage for the chip. Not the other way (anyway maybe it would even be a little bit stupid since we already have 5V from the cable…). So maybe the 5V for DN and DP is simply supplied directly without any regulator?

    Please, tell me where I can find an example as do the MSD device on FRDM-K64F that an onboard SD card it was visible in case of connection to the computer through USB as a Flash-disk.
    Thanks

  28. Hi, Erich, I tried to build this example, but I think that I forgot to disable memory protection, and now when I try to debug my K64F, it says that the gbd failed to reset/halt target mcu. Did you ever see this happen? Thanks for your attention!

    • My code/components automatically disable the memory protection. If you see the gdb failing to halt/reset the CPU, then:
      – CPU is in deep low power mode
      – FLASH is protected
      – You are using the wrong CPU in the launch configuration.
      Does it work for other applications?

      • I tried do debug this example last semester. I thought that the bootloader was bricked so I restored it using ULink2, but no success when trying to debug or even drag`n and drop`n a .bin pre-compiled application like `Hello World`. But last month I do use the .bin file again and suddenly it worked! So, I tried to debug the USB CDC example again in order to discover what is wrong, no success again! =/

        • I would check if the USB CDC device has really enumerated. Otherwise there are possible known problems with virtual COM ports on the host, so the problem could be your PC, not the board.

      • Anyway, I`m going to buy a J-Link or P&E Multilink, as you posted before, use only USB OpenSDA as debug interface can be painful!! haha

  29. Erich, sorry for going to such an old post! In this discussion you show using processor expert to select different USB behaviors (like CDC); is there anything similar with MCUXpresso? I want to get FRDM-K64 to do generic HID plus MSD – examples include CDC+MSD but not what I want, and I can’t find any way to simplistically alter/create what I do want.
    Appreciate any guidance you can offer, thanks.

    • Hi Ian,
      No, the MCUXpresso has a different approach with the SDK.
      I’m afraid that you would have to take the example code and make your combined USB class with tweaking/merging the code.

  30. Thank you Erich ! You saved my life. Again… Regularly when I get stuck on a problem, I just have to visit mcuoneclipse.com to see that you already had the same one!
    I am adapting an old software from K22 to K64 because of the shortage and I had the same problem. I had read the doc about MPU_CESR without understanding its importance. 😦
    Thanks again!

    • Hi Julien,
      glad to hear that this article was useful for you. That MMU thing has caused me lots of pain too, and me too I did not see that important flag. I have no idea why Freescale has not enabled it from the start?
