Programmers Interface
39.2.1 Data Structures
The function of the device operation is to transfer a request in the memory image to and
from the Universal Serial Bus. To efficiently manage USB endpoint communications the
USB-FS implements a Buffer Descriptor Table (BDT) in system memory. See
Figure
39-3.
39.3 Programmers Interface
This section discusses the major components of the programming model for the USB
module.
39.3.1 Buffer Descriptor Table
To efficiently manage USB endpoint communications the USB-FS implements a Buffer
Descriptor Table (BDT) in system memory. The BDT resides on a 512 byte boundary in
system memory and is pointed to by the BDT Page Registers. Every endpoint direction
requires two eight-byte Buffer Descriptor entries. Therefore, a system with 16 fully
bidirectional endpoints would require 512 bytes of system memory to implement the
BDT. The two Buffer Descriptor (BD) entries allows for an EVEN BD and ODD BD
entry for each endpoint direction. This allows the microprocessor to process one BD
while the USB-FS is processing the other BD. Double buffering BDs in this way allows
the USB-FS to easily transfer data at the maximum throughput provided by USB.
The software API intelligently manages buffers for the USB-FS by updating the BDT
when needed. This allows the USB-FS to efficiently manage data transmission and
reception, while the microprocessor performs communication overhead processing and
other function dependent applications. Because the buffers are shared between the
microprocessor and the USB-FS a simple semaphore mechanism is used to distinguish
who is allowed to update the BDT and buffers in system memory. A semaphore bit, the
OWN bit, is cleared to 0 when the BD entry is owned by the microprocessor. The
microprocessor is allowed read and write access to the BD entry and the buffer in system
memory when the OWN bit is 0. When the OWN bit is set to 1, the BD entry and the
buffer in system memory are owned by the USB-FS. The USB-FS now has full read and
write access and the microprocessor should not modify the BD or its corresponding data
buffer. The BD also contains indirect address pointers to where the actual buffer resides
in system memory. This indirect address mechanism is shown in the following diagram.
