What is the easiest way to connect two STM32F769 systems over USB ?

[bully]

Hello,

I have two nearly identical boards and I need to connect them over USB.

One possiblle way is using "Virtual Com Port", but haven't found anything about how to implement it on host device.

Is there any example of doing this or any other maybe good alternative for this connection.

I don't need really high speed, few bytes every 100msec...

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bully.

Except that USB is not the easiest way to connect two boards, if you only need "few bytes every 100msec".

Hi,

I agree that USB is not the optimal choice, but I cannot choose.

So, I have USB between to always powered host and device and I'd like to find a way not to complicate too much with protocol, devce classes etc...

So, I'm eeking the way to implement such communication in the easiest possible way through USB bus (I can probably skip device detection, exchange of information, etc...)

Thanks in advance,

regards.

The easiest possible way is to use UARTs.

USB FS data pins can be mapped to UART4 Tx/Rx, USB HS pins can be mapped to USART1 Tx/Rx.

Use the swap Tx/Rx feature of the UART on one side, except when connecting USB FS on one MCU to the USB HS pins of the other.

Thanks all for ideas... I couldn't get through with USB, probably because of a non-standard voltage on VBUS.

So wen't the UART way and used SWAP bit feature. Communication works...
