hathach 4b1c8d16f7 docs: add build-doc tooling and a README for every example
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`.

DFU

A USB Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU mode) device with two firmware partitions, demonstrating download, upload and manifestation.

What it does

  • Exposes a DFU interface with two alternate settings, one per simulated partition: alt 0 FLASH, alt 1 EEPROM.
  • Download (host to device): prints each received byte to stdout and immediately reports flashing complete.
  • Upload (device to host): returns a fixed string per partition (Hello world from TinyUSB DFU! - Partition 0/1), single block only.
  • Reports per-partition poll timeouts during download: 1 ms for FLASH (alt 0), 100 ms for EEPROM (alt 1).
  • Logs manifestation, abort and detach events.
  • Provides a BOS / Microsoft OS 2.0 descriptor so Windows binds the WinUSB driver.
  • LED blink rate indicates bus state (not mounted / mounted / suspended).

USB Descriptors

Interface Class driver
0 DFU (two alternate settings)

Configuration

Notable tusb_config.h settings:

#define CFG_TUD_DFU               1
#define CFG_TUD_DFU_XFER_BUFSIZE  (TUD_OPT_HIGH_SPEED ? 512 : 64)

Building

CMake:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DBOARD=raspberry_pi_pico ..
cmake --build .

Make:

make BOARD=raspberry_pi_pico all

Try it

List the device in DFU mode:

dfu-util -l

Download firmware to a partition (a text file works well for this demo):

dfu-util -d cafe -a 0 -D firmware.bin    # partition 0 (FLASH)
dfu-util -d cafe -a 1 -D firmware.bin    # partition 1 (EEPROM)

Upload from a partition back to the host:

dfu-util -d cafe -a 0 -U readback.bin
dfu-util -d cafe -a 1 -U readback.bin

Downloaded bytes are echoed on the device's stdout; uploads return the partition's fixed string.
