1.6 CDC Serial Emulator MSD Example (cdc_serial_emulator_msd)
This demonstration application creates a USB composite device that combines the functionality of the cdc_serial_emulator and msd_basic demonstration applications.
Description
This application demonstrates a USB composite device with CDC and MSD functions. The CDC function implements a USB-to-Serial Converter. The MSD function driver implements a USB Mass Storage Device with NVM as storage media.

Configuring the Hardware
- Use the USB micro-B port J201 to connect the USB Device to the USB Host PC.
- LED1 indicates USB Device Configuration Set Complete event (the USB device functionality has been activated by the USB Host).
- The CDC USB (UART to USB) interface on this board is served by the DEBUG_USB connector J700. Connecting this to the PC will create a COM port on the PC Host.
- Use the USB micro-B port J102 to connect the USB Device to the USB Host PC.
- LED0 indicates USB Device Configuration Set Complete event (the USB device functionality has been activated by the USB Host).
- The CDC USB (UART to USB) interface on this board is served by the DEBUG_USB connector J200. Connecting this to the PC will create a COM port on the PC Host.
Running the Application
This demonstration functions as a composite USB Device that combines the features of the devices created by the cdc_serial_emulator and the msd_basic demonstration applications. Refer to Running the Demonstration section of the cdc_serial_emulator demonstration and Running the Demonstration section of the msd_basic demonstration for details on exercising the CDC and MSD functions, respectively.
The LEDs on the demonstration board will indicate the USB state of the device, as described in the USB Device State and LED Indication Table in the Device section.
