I have made one change to this branch since I originally posted a tracking issue for this item. That change was based on great feedback from Martin. More information about the commits found in this pull request can be found in the individual commit descriptions.

Testing I have performed on these changes:

  • Made sure the library builds successfully with GCC_ARM using my makefiles and the official mbed python build scripts.
  • Used GCC_ARM to build and test the USBHostMSD_HelloWorld sample found here-> http://mbed.org/handbook/USBHostMSD. It ran successfully.
  • I took my updated USBHost library sources and uploaded then into a USBHostMSD_HelloWorld project on the mbed site. I then built the code using the online compiler and tested the resulting binary.
  • I have used GCC_ARM to build and test USBHostMouse, USBHostKeyboard, USBHostSerial, and USBHostHub samples as found in the mbed Handbook.

Thanks for your consideration,

Adam

I updated a few things in the USBHost source code to get it to compile
with GCC:
* In USBHALHost.cpp, the usb_buf global variable was defined with two
  different aligmnent specifiers:
    static volatile __align(256) uint8_t usb_buf[TOTAL_SIZE] __attribute((section("AHBSRAM1"),aligned));  //256 bytes aligned!
  The first one was not accepted by GCC.  I removed the duplicate
  alignment specifier and updated the one in the existing __attribute
  property to force the desired 256 byte alignment.
* Removed the explicit use of the __packed property from structures
  and instead used the PACKED macro defined in the mbed SDK's
  toolchain.h header file.  This macro does the right thing for the
  various compilers supported by the mbed team.
* Updated USB_* message macros in dbg.h to place spaces around
  references to the 'x' macro parameter.  Without this, C++ 11
  compilation thought the x character was a string literal operator but
  it wasn't one it recognized.  Adding the spaces makes it easier to
  see the use of the parameter, fixes this compile time error, and
  doesn't add any extra space to the final output string since the
  compiler only concatenates the contents within the double quotes of
  the strings.

By the way, I build with the gnu++11 standard since I have had requests
for its support from gcc4mbed.  Some of the items fixed here might not
be errors when using older standards with GCC.

I built and tested a USBHostMSD sample with these updates using both
GCC and the online compiler.  I will test more of the host interfaces
before issuing a pull request containing this commit.
The two following memcpy() calls in USBEndpoint::init() are passing in
a NULL pointer as the copy source location.

    memcpy(td_list_[0], 0, sizeof(HCTD));
    memcpy(td_list_[1], 0, sizeof(HCTD));

I suspect that these were meant to be memset() calls instead so I
switched them.  In one of the places that I found where this method is
called, USBHost::newEndpoint(), its passes in an array of HCTD objects
which have already been cleared with similar memset() calls.  I am
therefore pretty certain that these were meant to be memset() calls but
if all callers already guarantee that they are zeroed out then maybe
the memset()s can be removed from USBEndpoint::init() anyway.
There are a few warnings thrown by GCC for this source file that I have
attempted to correct.  I would definitely appreciate feedback from
others on these changes:
* USBHost::usb_process() would attempt to write past the end of the
  deviceInited[] array in the following code snippet:
    if (i == MAX_DEVICE_CONNECTED) {
        USB_ERR("Too many device connected!!\r\n");
        deviceInited[i] = false;
  The i variable is guaranteed to index 1 item past then end of this
  array since it only contains MAX_DEVICE_CONNECTED elements.  I have
  removed the line which sets deviceInited[i] to false.  Two questions
  result though:
    1) What was the intent of this line of code and is it Ok that I
       just removed it or should it be replaced with something else?
    2) I see no where else that elements in the deviceInited array are
       set to false except when all are set to false in the usbThread()
       method.  Should there be code in DEVICE_DISCONNECTED_EVENT to
       do this as well?
* USBHost::transferCompleted(volatile uint32_t addr) was comparing addr
  to NULL, which is of pointer type.  GCC issues a warning on this
  since the types are different (void* being compared to uint32_t).  I
  switched it to just compare with 0 instead.
* There is a switch statement in USBHost::unqueueEndpoint() which
  is conditional on a ENDPOINT_TYPE enumeration but doesn't contain
  cases for all values in the enumeration.  I just added a default
  case to simply break on other values to silence this GCC warning and
  allow the code to continue working as it did before.  Is it Ok that
  this particular piece of code only handles these two particular
  cases?
* USBHost::fillControlBuf() was generating a warning about possible
  alignment issues when accessing the setupPacket byte array as 16-bit
  half words instead.  I changed the casting to silence the warnings
  and modified the declaration of the setupPacket field to make sure
  that it is at least 2-byte aligned for these 16-bit accesses.
I removed the initialization of some variables which were never used to
silence GCC warnings.

One of them had me removing the following line from
USBHostMouse::rxHandler():
    int len = int_in->getLengthTransferred();
The variable len is never used again in this method and it doesn't
appear that the int_in->getLengthTransferred() call has any side
effects which would require this extraneous call to remain in the code.
USBHostHub.cpp made a few calls to the USBHALHost::deviceDisconnected()
virtual method passing in NULL for the addr parameter which is actually
declared as uint32_t and not a pointer type.  Switching these calls
to pass in a 0 for this parameter silences GCC warnings about
incompatible types.
I changed the following initialization from:
    uint8_t cmd[6] = {0x12, (lun << 5) | evpd, page_code, 0, 36, 0};
to:
    uint8_t cmd[6] = {0x12, uint8_t((lun << 5) | evpd), page_code, 0, 36, 0};
This makes it clear to the compiler that we are Ok with the 32-bit
integer result from the shift and logical OR operation (after integral
promotions) being truncated down to a 8-bit unsigned value.  This is
safe as long as lun only has a value of 7 or lower.
Based on great feedback from Martin Kojtal on my previous commit, I
have modified my USBHost::fileControlBuf() change to be more portable.

The code now fills in the setupPacket byte array a byte at a time,
using bit shifts to extract lower and upper bytes from the 16-bit
values so that the code should work on big endian or little endian
machines.  I also removed the 2-byte alignment attribute from the
setupPacket array as it is no longer required.
