USB HID Sample Application¶
Overview¶
This sample app demonstrates use of a USB Human Interface Device (HID) driver by the Zephyr project. This very simple driver is enumerated as a raw HID device. This sample can be found under samples/subsys/usb/hid in the Zephyr project tree.
Requirements¶
This project requires a USB device driver.
Building and Running¶
This sample can be built for multiple boards, in this example we will build it for the quark_se_c1000_devboard board:
# On Linux/macOS
cd $ZEPHYR_BASE/samples/subsys/usb/hid
mkdir build && cd build
# On Windows
cd %ZEPHYR_BASE%\samples\subsys\usb\hid
mkdir build & cd build
cmake -GNinja -DBOARD=quark_se_c1000_devboard ..
ninja
After you have built and flashed the sample app image to your board, plug the board into a host device, for example, a PC running Linux. The board will be detected as shown by the Linux journalctl command:
$ journalctl -k -n 10
usb 7-1: New USB device found, idVendor=2fe3, idProduct=0100
usb 7-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 7-1: Product: Zephyr HID sample
usb 7-1: Manufacturer: ZEPHYR
usb 7-1: SerialNumber: 0.01
input: ZEPHYR Zephyr HID sample as /devices/platform/vhci_hcd.0/usb7/7-1/7-1:1.0/0003:2FE3:0100.0046/input/input81

You can monitor report sending using standard Linux usbhid-dump command.
$ sudo usbhid-dump -d 2fe3:0100 -es
