Example for Azure RTOS USBX device video (UVC)

[Johannes]

Hello everyone

Does anyone have example code for Azure RTOS USBX device class video (UVC)?

I was able to add Video to my USBX demo application on Nucleo H7A3

There was sample code for CDC_ACM and MSC (mass storage), this worked fine. But for device class video, I was not able to find any example code.

CubeIDE 1.12.1 generated two files

ux_device_video.c

ux_device_video.h

But both files only contain prototypes of callback functions which need to be filled

Like this:

/**
  * @brief  USBD_VIDEO_StreamRequest
  *         This function is invoked to manage the UVC class requests.
  * @param  video_stream: Pointer to video class stream instance.
  * @param  transfer: Pointer to the transfer request.
  * @retval status
  */
UINT USBD_VIDEO_StreamRequest(UX_DEVICE_CLASS_VIDEO_STREAM *video_stream,
                              UX_SLAVE_TRANSFER *transfer)
{
   UINT status  = UX_SUCCESS;
 
  /* USER CODE BEGIN USBD_VIDEO_StreamRequest */
  UX_PARAMETER_NOT_USED(video_stream);
  UX_PARAMETER_NOT_USED(transfer);
  /* USER CODE END USBD_VIDEO_StreamRequest */
 
  return status;
}

How to fill it, that it works?

Thanks

Johannes

This is my project so far. It generates a composite device with 3 endpoints

• CDC_ACM (serial port)
• MSC (mass storage) with a ramdisk and FileX
• Video (does not work)

Generated with CubeIDE 1.12.1

on an Nucleo H7A3ZI-Q

Hi @Johannes​ ,

Please refer to this example application with STM32H723-Nucleo:

Hello Mohamed

Thanky you very much (I could have found this myself, silly me)

Unfortunately I have additional problems

Windows is still complaining, that the camera cannot be started.

It complains about a wrong parameter being transmitted

Code 0x0A Status 0xC000000D

 

Do you have an idea, what the problem might be?

I must admit, that I haven't run the exact example,

• I use Nucleo H7A3
• I have setup a compound device with 3 endpoints (MSC, CDC_ACM, Video)
• I use Cube IDE1.12.1 and have cubeIDE generate all the code

I checked the file usb descriptors and they look the same. (i am using endpoin 0x84 for video)

Thank you .

Johannes

Hi @Johannes​  can you please share with an usb trace of your device enumeration, or you can port Ux_Device_Video with  STM32H7A3-Nucleo to ensure that it work and then intergrate it in your application.

Hello Mohamed

Good news: I was able to make the USB Device Video example run.

But I needed to strip my demo code down to a single endpoint USB device.

Strangely: If the device endpoint address is less than 0x83 for video, the camera app on windows does not show the video, just a black screen.

If the endpoint is 0x83 or higher, The camera app shows the demo video.

As soon as I make the device a compound device by adding MSC storage, windows is complaining about the wrong parameter for the USB camera.

I have a wireshark USB trace. There are multiple strange packets:

And a malformed packet

The rest of the packets are related to MSC storage, i think

[Johannes]

This is a trace of a working camera (singular endpoint device)

The "unknown frames" are still there, but there is no "malformed package".

[mohamed.ayed]

@Johannes​ if you modifie device descriptor you need to modifie PID (Product ID)

[Johannes]

@mohamed.ayed​ Change the PID to what?

If I change the PID from e.g. 0x5710 to 0x5711, windows re-installes the drivers. But the malformed package is still there.

[Johannes]

If a package is "ok", this seems to be the position is the lengh information of the payload

bLengh = 4, 1 byte "bDescriptor type" and 2 bytes payload = 4 bytes.

In the malformed package

bLength = 4, but only the bDescriptor is following and 2 bytes are missing
