Documentation tooling:
- Add the `build-doc` skill and `tools/build_doc.py` wrapper for local
Sphinx builds (clean / -W / open).
- Enable Markdown (MyST) in conf.py and auto-collect
examples/{device,host,dual}/*/README.md into a 3-level Examples nav
(Examples > Device/Host/Dual > example), noting each page's source
location and normalizing headings to a single H1.
- Remove the stale `.claude/commands/build-doc.md`; point the AGENTS.md
Documentation section at the skill.
Example docs:
- Add a README.md for every device/host/dual example: what it does, USB
interface table, notable tusb_config.h settings, generic CMake + Make
build steps, and how to try it.
- Fold each *_freertos variant into its base README, noting the FreeRTOS
source path and any RTOS-specific behavior.
Generated docs/examples/ output is git-ignored. Builds clean with
`sphinx-build -W`.

Printer to CDC
This example demonstrates a USB composite device with a Printer class interface and a CDC serial interface. Data flows bidirectionally between the two:
- Data sent to the Printer (from host) is forwarded to the CDC serial port
- Data sent to the CDC serial port (from host) is forwarded to the Printer IN endpoint
This is useful for debugging printer class communication or as a reference for implementing printer class devices.
USB Descriptors
| Interface | Class | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | CDC ACM | Virtual serial port |
| 2 | Printer | USB Printer (bidirectional, protocol 2) |
Configuration
Notable tusb_config.h settings:
#define CFG_TUD_CDC 1
#define CFG_TUD_PRINTER 1
#define CFG_TUD_CDC_RX_BUFSIZE (TUD_OPT_HIGH_SPEED ? 512 : 64)
#define CFG_TUD_CDC_TX_BUFSIZE (TUD_OPT_HIGH_SPEED ? 512 : 64)
#define CFG_TUD_PRINTER_RX_BUFSIZE (TUD_OPT_HIGH_SPEED ? 512 : 64)
#define CFG_TUD_PRINTER_TX_BUFSIZE (TUD_OPT_HIGH_SPEED ? 512 : 64)
How to Test
The device exposes two endpoints on the host:
/dev/ttyACM0(CDC serial port)/dev/usb/lp0(USB printer)
Note: the actual device numbers may vary depending on your system.
Prerequisites (Linux):
# Load the USB printer kernel module if not already loaded
sudo modprobe usblp
# Check devices exist
ls /dev/ttyACM* /dev/usb/lp*
Test Printer to CDC (host writes to printer, reads from CDC):
# Terminal 1: read from CDC
cat /dev/ttyACM0
# Terminal 2: write to printer
echo "hello from printer" > /dev/usb/lp0
# "hello from printer" appears in Terminal 1
Test CDC to Printer (host writes to CDC, reads from printer):
# Terminal 1: read from printer IN endpoint
cat /dev/usb/lp0
# Terminal 2: write to CDC
echo "hello from cdc" > /dev/ttyACM0
# "hello from cdc" appears in Terminal 1
Interactive bidirectional test:
# Terminal 1: open CDC serial port
minicom -D /dev/ttyACM0
# Terminal 2: send to printer
echo "tinyusb print example" > /dev/usb/lp0
# Text appears in minicom. Type in minicom to send data back through printer TX.
IEEE 1284 Device ID
The device responds to GET_DEVICE_ID requests with:
MFG:TinyUSB;MDL:Printer to CDC;CMD:PS;CLS:PRINTER;
Verify with:
cat /sys/class/usbmisc/lp0/device/ieee1284_id
