Hi,
I have a few questions concerning the ObDev AVR-USB solution regarding computing capability:
1. How much AVR computing capacity is required if the device is in idle mode, i.e. no data transfered, just keeping the USB connection to the host alive?
I suppose, the AVR gets USB work with every frame, i.e. once every millisecond, correct? How many clocks will the AVR be busy then?
2. Is there a chance to obtain a firmware for 18 MHz crystal clock, just to get as much AVR computing power as possible?
Regards, Tom
general AVR-USB timing questions
If the interrupt is wired to D+, there is only activity when data is actually requested or transferred. If you connect it to D-, you get a couple of cycles every 1 ms frame.
Other than that, note that interrupt endpoints are polled and that you have to call usbPoll() in regular intervals.
Bulk endpoints (which are forbidden for low speed devices anyway) are polled aggressively so that more than 90% of the AVR's CPU time is spent in the interrupt.
