Pico-PIO-USB

USB host/device implementation using PIO of raspberry pi pico (RP2040).

You can add additional USB port to RP2040.

Planned FeaturesStatus
FS Host✔
LS Host✔
Hub support✔
Multi port✔
FS Device✔

Examples

  • host_hid_to_device_cdc.c which print mouse/keyboard report from host port to device port's cdc. TinyUSB is used to manage both device (native usb) and host (pio usb) stack.
  • usb_device.c is a HID USB FS device sample which moves mouse cursor every 0.5s. External 1.5kohm pull-up register is necessary to D+ pin (Default is gp0).
cd examples
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
# Copy UF2 file in capture_hid_report/ or usbdevice/ to RPiPico

Another sample program for split keyboard with QMK

Resource Usage

  • 1 PIO, 3 state machines, 32 instructions
  • Two GPIO for D+/D- (Series 22ohm resitors are better)
  • 15KB ROM and RAM
  • (For Host) One 1ms repeating timer
  • (For Device) One PIO IRQ for receiver
