Problem compiling examples with Visual Studio 2008

[Kamikater]

Hi!

I am currently experimenting with V-USB and AVRs. I am currently trying to get the examples, that come with the download, running.

The firmware compiled without any problem with the avrgcc toolchain but I have trouble compiling the commandline-sources.

I tried to use Visual Studio 2008 for compiling. LibUSB-Win32 is installed.
When I just tried to compile the sources in the example folder I got an error that usb.h was missing.
I then added the path to the "lib" folder in libusb-win32 as additional includepath.
Now I get multiple errors all very similar that sound like this:

error LNK2019: link to unresolved external symbol "_usb_control_msg" in function "_usbGetStringAscii"

(translated from the german version)
the symbol an function names vary in the different errors but i think they are all connected.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

The hid-data command line compiles for me. I have "C:\Program Files\LibUSB-Win32", and "C:\MingW" installed. Both have usb libraries and header files so I'm not certain which is being picked up from the make file.

Using MingW gcc .... not Visual Studio to compile.

Makefile:

Code: Select all

# Use the following 3 lines on Windows and comment out the 3 above:
USBFLAGS=
USBLIBS=    -lhid -lusb -lsetupapi
EXE_SUFFIX= .exe

/RJ

So how do I use that mingw and makefiles? Is there a step by step tutorial? I have never worked with makefiles or commandline-tools.

I still would prefer a solution with Visual Studio.

Okay, a little update.

I found some tutorials and after much more search I was able to add the correct path to windows, copied all files from "examples\custom-class\commandline" into "test1" edited the makefile for use in windows. Below is the errorlist i got. Can anyone help me now?

In file included from opendevice.c:18:
opendevice.h:26:77: usb.h: No such file or directory

That is the problem. One solution would be to simply copy usb.h from ../libusb-win32/include into ../MinGW/include you will also need to copy libusb.a from ../libusb-win32/lib/gcc into ../MinGW/lib

Then in MSYS type: make -f Makefile.windows and it should compile without errors.

[Kamikater]

Thanks maxi, that helped a lot!

There were some more files missing but I was able to put all to the correct path so the maker could find them. It finally compiled. So now I'm going to search for a way to do the same with Visual Studio.

Also my hardware works great. HID-mouse worked immediately and custom-class is recognized.

One (hopefully) last question: What driver do I need so the program and the avr can communicate for the custom-class example?

What driver do I need so the program and the avr can communicate for the custom-class example?

You need to make your own, see this post http://forums.obdev.at/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=3140

[Kamikater]

Okay to keep this thread as a step-by-step tutorial:

Download libusb-win32 device driver !! (I first downloaded the filter driver and couldnt find the wizard)
plug in the hardware
start the ..libusb-win32-device-bin-0.1.12.2\bin\inf-wizard.exe
it generates 2 files
add libusb0.dll and libusb0.sys (both are in the same directory as the wizard) to the same folder where your new generated files are and voila: windows accepts the driver



so now my only problem is: the set-led cant find the device. I always get
"Could not find the USB device "LEDControl" with vid=0x16c0 pid=0x5dc

i checked the device with testlibusb-win.exe and the vid is correct pid=0x05dc (guess thats the same). Any ideas?

that whole developing usb-things is complicated...

I'm glad you are here maxi. I wouldnt have come that far without your help!

Regards, Kamikater

[maxi]

Glad I could be of assistance, though I am really not sure what's wrong now. Assuming VID & PID match and you have not changed the name of the device from the default 'LEDControl' check the following:

Does your device show up in Device Manager under LibUSB-Win32 devices as LEDControl (This device is working properly)?

Did you inculde the correct usbconfig.h when you compiled set-led.c? It needs to be same one you used to compile the firmware.

If the above is ok I see no reason for it not to work. Try removing then re-inserting the device and re-run set-led.exe see if that helps.

[maxi]

Regarding Visual Studio, I have just finished making myself a USBasp (works an absolute treat btw) so now I porting some of my previous work onto my notebook.
I have been configuring MSVC (2005 Express) for libusb so I put together this quick how-to based on the custom-class example, here goes:

Open MSVC++ and start a new Win32 console application making sure to select 'Empty Project' in the wizard. Now add the Source & Header files (set-led.c, opendevice.c & opendevice.h) to the project.

Note: I first copied the files into the actual project directory though this should not be necessary. If you do so however, you should also copy the firmware directory there too as the contents are required for request id's, VID, PID and device names. You will need to edit the following lines in set-led.c accordingly:

Code: Select all

#include "../firmware/requests.h"   /* custom request numbers */
#include "../firmware/usbconfig.h"  /* device's VID/PID and names */

In my case becomes:

Code: Select all

#include "firmware/requests.h"   /* custom request numbers */
#include "firmware/usbconfig.h"  /* device's VID/PID and names */

Now to setup libusb: Navigate to 'Project' => 'Properties' and under 'C++' => 'General' => 'Additional Include Directories' add the full path to /libusb-win32/include. Click the ellipsis to browse for the folder.

Next, under 'Linker' => 'General' => 'Additional Library Directories' add the full path to /libusb-win32/lib/msvc

Last but not least, under 'Linker' => 'Input' => 'Additional Dependencies' simply add 'libusb.lib' (no path this time!)

<edit>The above steps should carried out for both Debug & Release versions </edit>

That would be it normally but if you try to compile you will likely get an error(s) regarding the use of 'strcasecmp'. Now you can just replace each occurance with _stricmp or you can do what I did and add this define:

Code: Select all

#define strcasecmp _stricmp

Hope it helps someone.

What about the hid-data example? I hear you ask (or maybe not).

Anyway, I decided to try out a notion of mine that it might be possible to compile the example project with Visual Studio using the DDK headers from MinGW. To cut a long story short I couldn't do it, which ever way I tried I was blighted by multiple conflicting re-definition errors and have therefore concluded that the DDK shipped with MinGW is totally incompatible with MSVC.

So to test a different theory that it should be possible with the MS Windows Driver Kit (WDK) as opposed to the now depreciated MS Driver Development Kit (DDK).

One 610Mb download later and here goes:

First you need to install WDK, I chose to install only the basic build environment (ie: none of the docs or samples).

Open MSVC and start a new, empty console application as in the custom-class example I posted previously.

Add to the project the Source & Header files (hidtool.c, hiddata.c & hiddata.h) Note that you don't need to include hidsdi.h as this is part of WDK.

You will need to modify some of the #includes so that in hiddata.c

Code: Select all

#include "hidsdi.h"
#include <ddk/hidpi.h>

Becomes:

Code: Select all

#include <hidsdi.h>
#include <hidpi.h>

In hidtool.c you only need to make sure that the #include for usbconfig.h is correct for the VID & PID names (see custom-class example again).

Ok, now to setup WDK: Open 'Project' => 'Properties' and under 'C++' => 'General' => 'Additional Include Directories' add the full path to C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.0\inc\ddk & C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.0\inc\api

Note: the version and directory may be different on your system, click the ellipsis to simply browse for the directories.

Next, under 'Linker' => 'General' => 'Additional Library Directories' add the full path to C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.0\lib\wxp\i386

Note: You have a choice with the above, which library you should choose may depend on your target platform. I chose wxp\i386 as this seemed most applicable in my case.

Under 'Linker' => 'Input' => 'Additional Dependencies' I added: setupapi.lib & hid.lib (No path here!)

To Finish up you'll probably need to add this #define to both hiddata.c & hidtool.c anywhere near the top is ok:

Code: Select all

#define strcasecmp _stricmp

And that's it, you should be good to go!

Important Note: This worked for me, I cannot guarantee it will work all systems (indeed I'm pretty sure it won't). If you are comfortable with MinGW you'd be much better advised to go that route.

I am open to suggestions as to how I might improve either of these mini how-to's. I am happy to answer any questions if I am able.

Okay, its me again with an update:

I spent some time trying different things and I got the example custom-class completely working now!

I changed the crystal to a 12MHz, set the fuese exactly the way it is described in the makefile, I edited the usbconfig.h before creating the commandline-tool and made (F_CPU/1000) to 12000. That all together worked.

I still dont understand why it didnt work with the 16MHz, it showed up correct in the device manager but I will keep trying there. At least, I now have a base to work from.

maxi, I will try out your Visual Studio solutions as soon as possible. I already see some things I forgot . Thanks for sharing

I changed the hid-data example into a DLL so I can call open, close, setReport, getReport from C#. Works fine. I just used the descriptor in the example "as is" so my payload is 128 bytes.

I've been told that the low level USB transfers are only 8 bytes. Does anyone know if this is true?

Hi,

I just tried the description from above with the hid-data example.

I modified:

Code: Select all

#include "usbconfig.h"

Code: Select all

#include <hidpi.h>
#include <hidsdi.h>

Installed WDK 710. Added pathes like above. Using VS2008 SP1

Hi, I could post a VS2005(Express) project file but I doubt it would help you, the dirs and versions will almost certainly be different to yours. Probably best you tell us a bit more about your setup, eg Operating System, which ddk libs you linked and directories included etc.
