I am trying to use the usb library found here:  

http://www.st.com/web/catalog/tools/FM147/CL1794/SC961/SS1743/PF257882#I am on windows 7, I am using the port207z board here with the STM32f207z: http://www.wvshare.com/product/Port207Z.htmI load the example under: \USB\stm32_f105-07_f2_f4_usb-host-device_lib\STM32_USB-Host-Device_Lib_V2.1.0\Project\USB_Device_Examples\VCPor \USB\stm32_f105-07_f2_f4_usb-host-device_lib\STM32_USB-Host-Device_Lib_V2.1.0\Project\USB_Device_Examples\HIDIn both cases, windows 7 cannot recognize the device, and even if install the driver it does not work .. i tried downloading some free usb trace software and it said enumeration failed ... ST told me the HID should work without needing to install any driver .. Has anyone gotten this to work on windows 7?

Have you ported it properly for your board? I have the VCP ported to several F2 and F4 board designs. Specific concerns would be the correct PLL settings for a 25 MHz HSE, the correct HSE_VALUE, and the correct 48 MHz Q-Tap from the PLL. The PLL must be running.

I have the VCP working in Windows 7 x64. It's important to use the correct 32-bit or 64-bit version of the 1.3.x VCP Driver.

I think you're grasping there, the Cube libraries are not the same as the V2.1.0 USB library examples, with a whole different set of issues. The OP likely had an Error Code 10

Hi Clive,

Many thanks. Yes, I realise that the libs are different.In the meantime, I went back to a new project which I started from the BOARDs tab rather than the MCU tab in Cube/New Project. I changed from a USB-OTG to Device Only and selected middleware for VCP.This worked first time and installed the drivers correctly(well done to Cube developers). Yay I can go on with my project.I then went back to the other project and it still has the same error(s) - so its a problem in my project, as you correctly  call.I will get into the OP later today and try to find my error, which I will post back here. Many thanks for respondingChrisHi AllUpdateThe problems I had were resolved as followsa) Clock dividers set to 8/336/7 in the USB (48MHz) chain\b) In USB pin configuration, set VBUS on and SOF offc) Config USB-FS set Global interrupt on, wakeup EXTI offd) If you get a 'Device cant start (code 10) in Windows,            Or in Linux you get device listed in lsusb, but no /dev/ttyACMx      Then, if you are using HS device in FS mode you need to change the buffer length       from 512 to 64 in usbd_cdc.h at or about line 54//#define CDC_DATA_HS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE        512  /* Endpoint IN & OUT Packet size */#define CDC_DATA_HS_MAX_PACKET_SIZE         64  /* Endpoint IN & OUT Packet size */                           You probably I seem to remember reading that the 48MHz clock must be very accurate for USB to work. Your project should now work 🙂Chris
