USB MSC

About

USB Mass Storage Class API. This class makes the device accessible as a mass storage device and allows you to transfer data between the host and the device.

One of the examples for this mode is to flash the device by dropping the firmware binary like a flash memory device when connecting the ESP32 to the host computer.

APIs

begin

This function is used to start the peripheral using the default MSC configuration.

bool begin(uint32_t block_count, uint16_t block_size);

Where:

  • block_count set the disk sector count.

  • block_size set the disk sector size.

This function will return true if the configuration was successful.

end

This function will finish the peripheral as MSC and release all the allocated resources. After calling end you need to use begin again in order to initialize the USB MSC driver again.

void end();

vendorID

This function is used to define the vendor ID.

void vendorID(const char * vid);//max 8 chars

productID

This function is used to define the product ID.

void productID(const char * pid);//max 16 chars

productRevision

This function is used to define the product revision.

void productRevision(const char * ver);//max 4 chars

mediaPresent

Set the mediaPresent configuration.

void mediaPresent(bool media_present);

onStartStop

Set the onStartStop callback function.

void onStartStop(msc_start_stop_cb cb);

onRead

Set the onRead callback function.

void onRead(msc_read_cb cb);

onWrite

Set the onWrite callback function.

void onWrite(msc_write_cb cb);

Example Code

Here is an example of how to use the USB MSC.
