Supported Targets ESP32-S2 ESP32-S3

TinyUSB Mass Storage Device Example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)

Mass Storage Devices are one of the most common USB devices. It use Mass Storage Class (MSC) that allow access to their internal data storage. This example contains code to make ESP based device recognizable by USB-hosts as a USB Mass Storage Device. It either allows the embedded application i.e. example to access the partition or Host PC accesses the partition over USB MSC. They can't be allowed to access the partition at the same time.

This example supports storage media of two types:

  1. SPI Flash
  2. SD MMC Card

Data is read/written from/to SPI Flash through wear-levelling APIs. Wear leveling is a technique that helps to distribute wear and tear among sectors more evenly without requiring any attention from the user. As a result, it helps in extending the life of each sector of the Flash memory.

As a USB stack, a TinyUSB component is used.

How to use example

Scenarios

  1. USB which accesses the ESP MSC Partition is unplugged initially and the board is powered-on.
    • Result: Host PC can't access the partition over USB MSC. Application example can perform operations (read, write) on partition.
  2. USB which accesses the ESP MSC Partition is already plugged-in at boot time.
    • Result: Host PC recongnize it as removable device and can access the partition over USB MSC. Application example can't perform any operation on partition.
  3. USB which accesses the ESP MSC Partition is plugged-in at boot-up. After boot-up, it is ejected on Host PC manually by user.
    • Result: Host PC can't access the partition over USB MSC. Application example can perform operations (read, write) on partition.
  4. USB which accesses the ESP MSC Partition is plugged-in at boot-up. It is then unplugged(removed) from Host PC manually by user.
    • Result: The behaviour is different for bus-powered devices and self-powered devices
      • (a) Bus-Powered devices - Both Host PC as well as application example can't access the partition over USB MSC. Here, the device will be Powered-off.
      • (b) Self-Powered devices - Here, the device can be powered-on even after unplugging the device from Host PC. These behaviour can be further categorize in two ways:
        • (i) Self-Powered Devices without VBUS monitoring - Both Host PC as well as application example can't access the partition over USB MSC.
        • (ii) Self-Powered Devices with VBUS monitoring - Host PC can't access the partition over USB MSC. Application example can perform operations (read, write) on partition. Here, in tinyusb_config_t user must set self_powered to true and vbus_monitor_io to GPIO number (VBUS_MONITORING_GPIO_NUM) that will be used for VBUS monitoring.

Hardware Required

  1. If the storage media is SPI Flash, any ESP board that have USB-OTG is supported.
  2. If the storage media is SD MMC Card, any ESP board with SD MMC card slot and an SD card is required. For Ex - ESP32-S3-USB-OTG

Pin Assignment

Note: In case your board doesn't have micro-USB connector connected to USB-OTG peripheral, you may have to DIY a cable and connect D+ and D- to the pins listed below.

See common pin assignments for USB Device examples from upper level.

Next, for Self-Powered Devices with VBUS monitoring, user must set self_powered to true and vbus_monitor_io to GPIO number (VBUS_MONITORING_GPIO_NUM) that will be used for VBUS monitoring.

Additional Pin assignments for ESP32-S3 for accessing SD MMC Card

On ESP32-S3, SDMMC peripheral is connected to GPIO pins using GPIO matrix. This allows arbitrary GPIOs to be used to connect an SD card. In this example, GPIOs can be configured in two ways:

  1. Using menuconfig: Run idf.py menuconfig in the project directory, open "USB DEV MSC Example Configuration" and select "SDMMC CARD" for "Storage Media Used".
  2. In the source code: See the initialization of sdmmc_slot_config_t slot_config structure in the example code.

The table below lists the default pin assignments.

When using an ESP32-S3-USB-OTG board, this example runs without any extra modifications required. Only an SD card needs to be inserted into the slot.

ESP32-S3 pin SD card pin Notes
GPIO36 CLK 10k pullup
GPIO35 CMD 10k pullup
GPIO37 D0 10k pullup
GPIO38 D1 not used in 1-line SD mode; 10k pullup in 4-line mode
GPIO33 D2 not used in 1-line SD mode; 10k pullup in 4-line mode
GPIO34 D3 not used in 1-line SD mode, but card's D3 pin must have a 10k pullup

By default, this example uses 4 line SD mode, utilizing 6 pins: CLK, CMD, D0 - D3. It is possible to use 1-line mode (CLK, CMD, D0) by changing "SD/MMC bus width" in the example configuration menu (see CONFIG_EXAMPLE_SDMMC_BUS_WIDTH_1).

Note that even if card's D3 line is not connected to the ESP chip, it still has to be pulled up, otherwise the card will go into SPI protocol mode.

Build and Flash

  1. By default, the example will compile to access SPI Flash as storage media. Here, SPI Flash Wear Levelling WL_SECTOR_SIZE is set to 512 and WL_SECTOR_MODE is set to PERF in Menuconfig.
  2. In order to access SD MMC card as storage media, configuration has to be changed using idf.py menuconfig:
  • i. Open "USB Dev MSC Example Configuration" and select "SDMMC CARD" for "Storage Media Used"
  • ii. Open "SD/MMC bus width" and select between "4 lines (D0 - D3)" or "1 line (D0)"
  • iii. Select the GPIO Pin numbers for SD Card Pin.
  • iv. Save the configuration.

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

After the flashing you should see the output at idf monitor:

Mass Storage Devices are one of the most common USB devices. It use Mass Storage Class (MSC) that allow access to their internal data storage.
In this example, ESP chip will be recognised by host (PC) as Mass Storage Device.
Upon connection to USB host (PC), the example application will initialize the storage module and then the storage will be seen as removable device on PC.
