CDC Class

The CMX-USB-CDC-ACM module enables the designer to provide a virtual USB serial port on the embedded target which acts as a standard serial port and can be accessed using simple, serial API functions. CMX-USB-CDC-ACM is optimized to use minimal RAM and ROM and requires just the control channel endpoint and a single interrupt endpoint.

CMX-USB-CDC-ECM is an Ethernet Control Model driver handling the exchange of Ethernet framed data between a USB Host and Device.

HID Class

The CMX-USB-HID Class driver provides support for Human Interface Devices such as a mouse, keyboard and joystick.

Mass Storage

CMX-USB-MS allows you to connect an embedded system to an embedded Host or PC and have the embedded system appear as a mass storage device to the host system.

Media Transfer Protocol

CMX-USB-MTP Class driver provides the Windows XP/Vista compliant Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) widely used in the design of portable media devices. This class driver option and Mass Storage alternative, appears as a standard drive to the host and can also be used with CMX's file systems to provide synchronized host / target file system access as well as API controlled file system access.

Pictbridge

CMX-USB-Pictbridge is a USB Add-On option which, when used in conjunction with CMX-USB-MTP, allows images to print directly from an image source without the need for a PC. This option also includes XML parser for encoding and decoding PictBridge protocol objects.

Remote Network Driver Interface (RNDIS)

CMX-USB-RNDIS is a class driver that allows embedded devices to connect to hosts over USB and to appear as a standard network card. The RNDIS class driver includes a virtual Ethernet driver with a simple API that provides for easy integration with a TCP/IP stack or to another Ethernet driver interface.

Personal Healthcare Class

CMX-USB-PHDC is a USB device class option designed for communications requirements for medical devices used in the healthcare industry.

Audio Class

CMX-USB-AUD enables an embedded device to play audio output from a USB host device (PC) or to send audio input, such as a microphone, to a USB host in conjunction with the CMX-USB-HID class driver used for audio device control.

Printer Class

The CMX-USB-PL class driver enables USB printers to be attached to an embedded device which generates pages in the PCL5 format.

MIDI Class

The CMX-USB-MIDI class driver is available for embedded USB devices which implement the MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) protocol.

USB Device Bootloader

The CMX-USB-BL Device Bootloader is a standalone system which allows an application to download new application code to the target. Using the developers’ trigger mechanism, the Bootloader accepts a new image from a host and programs it into the device. The footprint of the CMX-USB-BL is less than 4k bytes and can be held as a permanent, reliable boot-stub on a single small sector flash which handles all future firmware upgrades.

Host developer options for the download program include:

1. Complementary sample application that works with the freely available libusb.
2. Ability to use generic USB host interface such as Winusb from Microsoft.
