1 Overview
CyAPI.lib provides a simple, powerful C++ programming interface to USB devices. More specifically, it
is a C++ class library that provides a high-level programming interface to the CyUsb.sys device driver.
The library is only able to communicate with USB devices that are served by (i.e. matched to) this driver.
Rather than communicate with the driver via Windows API calls such as SetupDiXxxx and
DeviceIoControl, applications call simpler CyAPI methods such as Open, Close, and XferData to
communicate with USB devices.
To use the library, you need to include the header file, CyAPI.h, in files that access the CCyUSBDevice
class. In addition, the statically linked CyAPI.lib file must be linked to your project. Versions of the .lib
file are available for use with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, 2010 and Borland C++ Builder 6.0. Please
refer section How to Link to CyAPI.lib for more detail.
The library employs a Device and EndPoints use model. To use the library you must create an
instance of the CCyUSBDevice class using the new keyword. A CCyUSBDevice object knows how
many USB devices are attached to the CyUsb.sys driver and can be made to abstract any one of those
devices at a time by using the Open method. An instance of CCyUSBDevice exposes several methods
and data members that are device-specific, such as DeviceName, DevClass, VendorID, ProductID, and
SetAltIntfc.
When a CCyUSBDevice object is open to an attached USB device, its endpoint members provide an
interface for peforming data transfers to and from the device's endpoints. Endpoint-specific data
members and methods such as MaxPktSize, TimeOut, bIn, Reset and XferData are only accessible
through endpoint members of a CCyUSBDevice object.
In addition to its simplicity, the class library facilitates creation of sophisticated applications as well.
The CCyUSBDevice constructor automatically registers the application for Windows USB Plug and Play
event notification. This allows your application to support "hot plugging" of devices. Also, the
asynchronous BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer methods allow queueing of multiple data
transfer requests on a single endpoint, thus enabling data streaming from the application level.
1. Add the CyAPI.h header files to your project from the CySuiteUSB installation directory CyAPI\inc.
Note that the other related header files are available in the same
directory.
2. Linking CyAPI.lib
Add lib path( including the lib name, example-..\..\lib\x86\cyapi.lib ) in the 'Additional Dependencies'
edit box. Libraries for 32/64 bit available in the CySuiteUSB installation directory CyAPI\lib. The
directory 'x64' is for 64-bit library and the 'x86' directory is for 32-bit library.
3 New API
bool XferData(PUCHAR buf, LONG &bufLen, CCyIsoPktInfo* pktInfos, bool pktMode);
XferData() method of CCyUSBEndPoint is overloaded such that it can be used for partial IN transfer.
if pktMode = true, partial data transfer is enabled or else calls the bool XferData(PUCHAR buf, LONG
&len, CCyIsoPktInfo* pktInfos = NULL) where partial data is discarded.
Example

5 CCyBulkEndPoint
CCyBulkEndPoint Class Previous Top Next
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
Normally, you should not need to construct any of your own instances of this class. Rather, when an
instance of CyUSBDevice is created, instances of this class are automatically created for all bulk
endpoints as members of that class. Two such members of CyUSBDevice are BulkInEndPt and
BulkOutEndPt.
Example
5.1 BeginDataXfer( )
PUCHAR CCyBulkEndPoint::BeginDataXfer( Previous Top Next
PCHAR buf, LONG len, OVERLAPPED *ov)
Description
BeginDataXfer is an advanced method for performing asynchronous IO. This method sets-up all the
parameters for a data transfer, initiates the transfer, and immediately returns, not waiting for the transfer
to complete.
BeginDataXfer allocates a complex data structure and returns a pointer to that structure. FinishDataXfer
de-allocates the structure. Therefore, it is imperative that each BeginDataXfer call have exactly one
You will usually want to use the synchronous XferData method rather than the asynchronous
BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer approach.
Example
// Just to be cute, request the return data before initiating the loopback
UCHAR *inContext = USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->BeginDataXfer(inBuf, length, &inOvLap);
UCHAR *outContext = USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->BeginDataXfer(buffer, length,
&outOvLap);
USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->WaitForXfer(&outOvLap,100);
USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->WaitForXfer(&inOvLap,100);
CloseHandle(outOvLap.hEvent);
CloseHandle(inOvLap.hEvent);
5.2 CCyBulkEndPoint( )
CCyBulkEndPoint::CCyBulkEndPoint ( void) Previous Top Next
Description
The resulting instance has most of it's member variables initialized to zero. The two exceptions are
hDevice, which gets set to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and TimeOut which is set to 10,000 (10
seconds).
5.3 CCyBulkEndPoint( )
CCyBulkEndPoint::CCyBulkEndPoint (HANDLE Previous Top Next
h, PUSB_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR
pEndPtDescriptor)
Description
This constructor creates a legitimate CCyBulkEndPoint object through which bulk transactions can be
performed on the endpoint.
The constructor is called by the library, itself, in the process of performing the Open( ) method of the
CCyUSBDevice.
You should never need to invoke this constructor. Instead, you should use the CCyBulkEndPoint objects
created for you by the CCyUSBDevice class and accessed via its EndPoints,BulkInEndPt and
BulkOutEndPt members.
6 CCyControlEndPoint
CCyControlEndPoint Class Previous Top Next
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
Instances of this class can be used to perform control transfers to the device.
Control transfers require 6 parameters that are not needed for bulk, isoc, or interrupt transfers. These
are:
Target
ReqType
Direction
ReqCode
Value
Index
All USB devices have at least one Control endpoint, endpoint zero. Whenever an instance of
CCyUSBDevice successfully performs its Open( ) function, an instance of CCyControlEndPoint called
ControlEndPt is created. Normally, you will use this ControlEndPt member of CCyUSBDevice to perform
all your Control endpoint data transfers.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE;
ept->ReqCode = 0x05;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->XferData(buf, buflen);
6.1 BeginDataXfer( )
PUCHAR CCyControlEndPoint::BeginDataXfer ( Previous Top Next
PCHAR buf, LONG len, OVERLAPPED *ov)
Description
This method sets-up all the parameters for a data transfer, initiates the transfer, and immediately
returns, not waiting for the transfer to complete.
BeginDataXfer allocates a complex data structure and returns a pointer to that structure. FinishDataXfer
de-allocates the the structure. Therefore, it is imperative that each BeginDataXfer call have exactly one
matching FinishDataXfer call.
You will usually want to use the synchronous XferData method rather than the asynchronous
BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer approach.
Control transfers require 6 parameters that are not needed for bulk, isoc, or interrupt transfers. These
are:
Target
ReqType
Direction
ReqCode
Value
Index
Be sure to set the value of these CCyControlEndPoint members before invoking the BeginDataXfer or
XferData methods.
Example
OVERLAPPED OvLap;
OvLap.hEvent = CreateEvent(NULL, false, false, L"CYUSB_CTL");
CloseHandle(OvLap.hEvent);
6.2 CCyControlEndPoint( )
CCyControlEndPoint::CCyControlEndPoint(void) Previous Top Next
Description
Target = TGT_DEVICE
ReqType = REQ_VENDOR
Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE
ReqCoe = 0
Value = 0
Index = 0
6.3 CCyControlEndPoint( )
CCyControlEndPoint::CCyControlEndPoint( Previous Top Next
HANDLE h, PUSB_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR
pEndPtDescriptor)
Description
Target = TGT_DEVICE
ReqType = REQ_VENDOR
Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE
ReqCoe = 0
Value = 0
Index = 0
6.4 Direction
CTL_XFER_DIR_TYPE CCyControlEndPoint:: Previous Top Next
Direction
Description
Direction is one of the essential parameters for a Control transfer and a data member of the
CCyControlEndPoint class.
Legitimate values for the Direction member are DIR_TO_DEVICE and DIR_FROM_DEVICE.
Unlike Bulk, Interrupt and ISOC endpoints, which are uni-directional (either IN or OUT), the Control
endpoint is bi-directional. It can be used to send data to the device or read data from the device. So, the
direction of the transaction is one of the fundamental parameters required for each Control transfer.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE;
ept->ReqCode = 0x05;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->XferData(buf, buflen);
6.5 Index
WORD CCyControlEndPoint::Index Previous Top Next
Description
Index is one of the essential parameters for a Control transfer and a data member of the
CCyControlEndPoint class.
Index values typically depend on the specific ReqCode that is being sent in the Control transfer.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE;
ept->ReqCode = 0x05;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->XferData(buf, buflen);
6.6 Read( )
bool CCyControlEndPoint::Read( PCHAR buf, Previous Top Next
LONG &len)
Description
Read( ) sets the CyControlEndPoint Direction member to DIR_FROM_DEVICE and then calls
CCyUSBEndPoint::XferData( ).
The buf parameter points to a memory buffer where the read bytes will be placed.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->ReqCode = 0x07;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->Read(buf, bytesToRead);
6.7 ReqCode
UCHAR CCyControlEndPoint::ReqCode Previous Top Next
Description
ReqCode is one of the essential parameters for a Control transfer and a data member of the
CCyControlEndPoint class.
ReqCode values indicate, to the USB chip, a particular function or command that the chip should
perform. They are usually documented by the USB chip manufacturer.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE;
ept->ReqCode = 0x05;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->XferData(buf, buflen);
6.8 ReqType
CTL_XFER_REQ_TYPE CCyControlEndPoint:: Previous Top Next
ReqType
Description
ReqType is one of the essential parameters for a Control transfer and a data member of the
CCyControlEndPoint class.
Legitimate values for the ReqType member are REQ_STD, REQ_CLASS and REQ_VENDOR.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE;
ept->ReqCode = 0x05;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->XferData(buf, buflen);
6.9 Target
CTL_XFER_TGT_TYPE CCyControlEndPoint:: Previous Top Next
Target
Description
Target is one of the essential parameters for a Control transfer and a data member of the
CCyControlEndPoint class.
Legitimate values for the Target member are TGT_DEVICE, TGT_INTFC, TGT_ENDPT and
TGT_OTHER.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE;
ept->ReqCode = 0x05;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->XferData(buf, buflen);
6.10 Value
WORD CCyControlEndPoint::Value Previous Top Next
Description
Value is one of the essential parameters for a Control transfer and a data member of the
CCyControlEndPoint class.
Values typically depend on the specific ReqCode that is being sent in the Control transfer.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->Direction = DIR_TO_DEVICE;
ept->ReqCode = 0x05;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->XferData(buf, buflen);
6.11 Write( )
bool CCyControlEndPoint::Write(PCHAR buf, Previous Top Next
LONG &len)
Description
Write( ) sets the CyControlEndPoint Direction member to DIR_TO_DEVICE and then calls
CCyUSBEndPoint::XferData( ).
The buf parameter points to a memory buffer where the read bytes will be placed.
Example
ept->Target = TGT_DEVICE;
ept->ReqType = REQ_VENDOR;
ept->ReqCode = 0x07;
ept->Value = 1;
ept->Index = 0;
ept->Write(buf, bytesToSend);
7 CCyInterruptEndPoint
CCyInterruptEndPoint Class Previous Top Next
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
Normally, you should not need to construct any of your own instances of this class. Rather, when an
instance of CyUSBDevice is created, instances of this class are automatically created as members of
that class. Two such members of CyUSBDevice are InterruptInEndPt and InterruptOutEndPt.
Example
7.1 BeginDataXfer( )
PUCHAR CCyInterruptEndPoint::BeginDataXfer Previous Top Next
(PCHAR buf, LONG len, OVERLAPPED *ov)
Description
BeginDataXfer is an advanced method for performing asynchronous IO. This method sets-up all the
parameters for a data transfer, initiates the transfer, and immediately returns, not waiting for the transfer
to complete.
BeginDataXfer allocates a complex data structure and returns a pointer to that structure. FinishDataXfer
de-allocates the structure. Therefore, it is imperative that each BeginDataXfer call have exactly one
matching FinishDataXfer call.
You will usually want to use the synchronous XferData method rather than the asynchronous
BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer approach.
Example
// Just to be cute, request the return data before initiating the loopback
UCHAR *inContext = USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->BeginDataXfer(inBuf, length, &inOvLap);
UCHAR *outContext = USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->BeginDataXfer(buffer, length,
&outOvLap);
USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->WaitForXfer(&outOvLap,100);
USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->WaitForXfer(&inOvLap,100);
CloseHandle(outOvLap.hEvent);
CloseHandle(inOvLap.hEvent);
7.2 CCyInterruptEndPoint( )
CCyInterruptEndPoint::CCyInterruptEndPoint ( Previous Top Next
void)
Description
The resulting instance has most of it's member variables initialized to zero. The two exceptions are
hDevice, which gets set to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and TimeOut which is set to 10,000 (10
seconds).
7.3 CCyInterruptEndPoint( )
CCyInterruptEndPoint::CCyInterruptEndPoint( Previous Top Next
HANDLE h, PUSB_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR
pEndPtDescriptor)
Description
This constructor creates a legitimate CCyInterruptEndPoint object through which interrupt transactions
can be performed on the endpoint.
The constructor may be called by the library, itself, in the process of performing the Open( ) method of
the CCyUSBDevice.
You should never need to invoke this constructor. Instead, you should use the CCyInterruptEndPoint
objects created for you by the CCyUSBDevice class and accessed via its EndPoints,InterruptInEndPt
and InterruptOutEndPt members.
8 CCyIsocEndPoint
CCyIsocEndPoint Class Previous Top Next
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
Normally, you should not need to construct any of your own instances of this class. Rather, when an
instance of CyUSBDevice is created, instances of this class are automatically created as members of
that class. Two such members of CyUSBDevice are IsocInEndPt and IsocOutEndPt.
NOTE: For ISOC transfers, the buffer length and the endpoint's transfers size (see SetXferSize) must be
a multiple of 8 times the endpoint's MaxPktSize.
Example
8.1 BeginDataXfer( )
PUCHAR CCyIsocEndPoint::BeginDataXfer ( Previous Top Next
PCHAR buf, LONG len, OVERLAPPED *ov)
Description
BeginDataXfer is an advanced method for performing asynchronous IO. This method sets-up all the
parameters for a data transfer, initiates the transfer, and immediately returns, not waiting for the transfer
to complete.
BeginDataXfer allocates a complex data structure and returns a pointer to that structure. FinishDataXfer
de-allocates the structure. Therefore, it is imperative that each BeginDataXfer call have exactly one
matching FinishDataXfer call.
You will usually want to use the synchronous XferData method rather than the asynchronous
BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer approach.
NOTE: For ISOC transfers, the buffer length and the endpoint's transfers size (see SetXferSize) must be
a multiple of 8 times the endpoint's MaxPktSize.
Example
if (IsoIn) {
PUCHAR context;
OVERLAPPED inOvLap;
PUCHAR buffer = new UCHAR[bufSize];
CCyIsoPktInfo *isoPktInfos = new CCyIsoPktInfo[pkts];
IsoIn->SetXferSize(bufSize);
int complete = 0;
int partial = 0;
partial++;
else
complete++;
} else
partial++;
delete buffer;
delete [] isoPktInfos;
}
8.2 CCyIsocEndPoint( )
CCyIsocEndPoint::CCyIsocEndPoint (void) Previous Top Next
Description
The resulting instance has most of it's member variables initialized to zero. The two exceptions are
hDevice, which gets set to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE and TimeOut which is set to 10,000 (10
seconds).
8.3 CCyIsocEndPoint( )
CCyIsocEndPoint::CCyIsocEndPoint(HANDLE h, Previous Top Next
PUSB_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR
pEndPtDescriptor)
Description
This constructor creates a legitimate CCyIsocEndPoint object through which isochronous transactions
can be performed on the endpoint.
The constructor is called by the library, itself, in the process of performing the Open( ) method of the
CCyUSBDevice.
You should never need to invoke this constructor. Instead, you should use the CCyIsocEndPoint objects
created for you by the CCyUSBDevice class and accessed via its EndPoints,IsocInEndPt and
IsocOutEndPt members.
8.4 CreatePktInfos( )
CCyIsoPktInfo* CCyIsocEndPoint:: Previous Top Next
CreatePktInfos(LONG bufLen, int &packets)
Description
It creates an array of CCyIsoPktInfo objects to be used in calls to XferData and FinishDataXfer for Isoc
endpoints.
CreatePktInfos calculates the number of isoc packets that the driver will use to transfer a data buffer of
bufLen bytes. This number is returned in the packets parameter.
CreatePktInfos also dynamically constructs an array of CCyIsoPktInfo objects and returns a pointer to
the first element of that array. There are packets elements in the array.
After using the array of CCyPktInfo objects you must delete the array of objects yourself by calling
delete [ ].
Example
if (IsoIn) {
CCyIsoPktInfo *isoPktInfos;
int pkts;
// Allocate the IsoPktInfo objects, and find-out how many were allocated
isoPktInfos = IsoIn->CreatePktInfos(bufSize, pkts);
LONG recvdBytes = 0;
delete [] buffer;
delete [] isoPktInfos;
9 CCyIsoPktInfo
CCyIsoPktInfo Previous Top Next
class CCyIsoPktInfo {
public:
LONG Status;
LONG Length;
};
When an Isoc transfer is performed, the data buffer passed to XferData or BeginDataXfer is logically
partitioned, by the driver, into multiple packets of data. The driver returns status and length information
for each of those packets.
The XferData and FinishDataXfer methods of CCyUSBEndPoint accept an optional parameter that is a
pointer to an array of CCyIsoPktInfo objects. If this parameter is not NULL, the array will be filled with the
packet status and length information returned by the driver.
If the value returned in the Status field is zero (USBD_STATUS_SUCCESS) all the data in the packet is
valid. Other non-zero values for the Status field can be found in the DDK include file, USBDI.H.
The value returned in the Length field indicates the number of bytes transferred in the packet. In ideal
conditions, this number will be bufferLength / numPackets (which is the maximum capacity of each
packet). However, fewer bytes could be transferred.
An array of CCyIsoPktInfo objects can be easily created buy invoking the CCyUSBIsocEndPoint::
CreatePktInfos method.
Example
if (IsoIn) {
CCyIsoPktInfo *isoPktInfos;
int pkts;
// Allocate the IsoPktInfo objects, and find-out how many were allocated
isoPktInfos = IsoIn->CreatePktInfos(bufSize, pkts);
LONG recvdBytes = 0;
delete [] buffer;
delete [] isoPktInfos;
10 CCyUSBDevice
CCyUSBDevice Class Previous Top Next
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
The CCyUSBDevice class is the primary entry point into the library. All the functionality of the library
should be accessed via an instance of CCyUSBDevice.
An instance of CCyUSBDevice is aware of all the USB devices that are attached to the USB driver and
can selectively communicate with any ONE of them by using the Open( ) method.
Example
do {
USBDevice->Open(d); // Open automatically calls Close() if necessary
vID = USBDevice->VendorID;
pID = USBDevice->ProductID;

10.1 AltIntfc( )
UCHAR CCyUSBDevice::AltIntfc(void) Previous Top Next
Description
This function returns the current alternate interface setting for the device.
A return value of 255 (0xFF) indicates that the driver failed to return the current alternate interface
setting.
Call AltIntfcCount( ) to find-out how many alternate interfaces are exposed by the device.
10.2 AltIntfcCount( )
UCHAR CCyUSBDevice::AltIntfcCount(void) Previous Top Next
Description
This function returns the number of alternate interfaces exposed by the device.
Example
A return value of 2 means that there are 2 alternate interfaces, in addition to the primary interface.

If the USB device represented is a high speed device, bHighSpeed will be true. Otherwise,
bHighSpeed will be false.
This property is only valid on systems running Windows 2K SP4 (and later) or WindowsXP. On earlier
versions of Windows, a high speed device will not be detected as such and bHighSpeed will incorrectly
have a value of false.
Example
if (USBDevice->bHighSpeed) {
// Do something
}

CCyBulkEndPoint* CCyUSBDevice:: Previous Top Next
BulkInEndPt
Description
BulkInEndPt is a pointer to an object representing the first BULK IN endpoint enumerated for the
selected interface.
The selected interface might expose additional BULK IN endpoints. To discern this, one would need to
traverse the EndPoints array, checking the Attributes and Address members of each CCyUSBEndPoint
object referenced in the array.
If no BULK IN endpoints were enumerated by the device, BulkInEndPt will be set to NULL.
Example
10.7 BulkOutEndPt
CCyBulkEndPoint* CCyUSBDevice:: Previous Top Next
BulkOutEndPt
Description
BulkOutEndPt is a pointer to an object representing the first BULK OUT endpoint enumerated for the
selected interface.
The selected interface might expose additional BULK OUT endpoints. To discern this, one would need to
traverse the EndPoints array, checking the Attributes and Address members of each CCyUSBEndPoint
object referenced in the array.
If no BULK OUT endpoints were enumerated by the device, BulkInEndPt will be set to NULL.
Example
10.8 CCyUSBDevice( )
CCyUSBDevice::CCyUSBDevice(HANDLE hnd = Previous Top Next
NULL, GUID guid = CYUSBDRV_GUID)
Description
It registers the window of hnd to receive USB Plug and Play messages when devices are connected or
disconnected to/from the driver.
The object created serves as the programming interface to the driver whose GUID is passed in the guid
parameter.
The constructor initializes the class members and then calls the Open(0) method to open the first device
that is attached to the driver.
Parameters
hnd
hnd is a handle to the application's main window (the window whose WndProc function will process USB
PnP events).
If you are building a console application or don't want your window to receive PnP events, you may omit
the hnd parameter.
guid
guid is the GUID defined in the [Strings] section of the CyUsb.inf file (or your own named copy). If this
parameter is omitted, guid defaults to CYUSBDRV_GUID.
If you don't want to register for PnP events, but you do want to pass your own driver GUID to the
constructor, you will need to pass NULL as the hnd parameter.
Example 1
NOTE: This is not a ready to compile sample code, you can use it as a guideline.
if (Message.Msg == WM_DEVICECHANGE) {
if (Message.WParam == DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE) {
bPnP_Removal = true;
}
}
Form::WndProc(Message);

string s;
10.32 Interface( )
UCHAR CCyUSBDevice::Interface(void) Previous Top Next
Description
Because Windows always represents different reported interfaces as separate devices, the CyUSB driver
is only shown devices that have a single interface. This causes the Interface( ) method to always return
zero.
10.33 InterruptInEndPt
CCyInterruptEndPoint* CCyUSBDevice:: Previous Top Next
InterruptInEndPt
Description
InterruptInEndPt is a pointer to an object representing the first INTERRUPT IN endpoint enumerated for
the selected interface.
The selected interface might expose additional INTERRUPT IN endpoints. To discern this, one would
need to traverse the EndPoints array, checking the Attributes and Address members of each
CCyUSBEndPoint object referenced in the array.
If no INTERRUPT IN endpoints were enumerated by the device, InterruptInEndPt will be set to NULL.
Example
10.34 InterruptOutEndPt

descriptor.
10.36 IntfcCount( )
UCHAR CCyUSBDevice::IntfcCount(void) Previous Top Next
Description
This number does not include alternate interfaces that might be part of the current configuration.
Because Windows always represents different reported interfaces as separate devices, the CyUSB driver
is only shown devices that have a single interface. This causes the IntfcCount( ) method to always return
1.
10.37 IntfcProtocol
UCHAR CCyUSBDevice::IntfcProtocol Previous Top Next
Description
This data member contains the bInterfaceProtocol field from the currently selected interface's interface

CCyIsocEndPoint* CCyUSBDevice::IsocInEndPt Previous Top Next
Description
IsocInEndPt is a pointer to an object representing the first ISOCHRONOUS IN endpoint enumerated for
The selected interface might expose additional ISOCHRONOUS OUT endpoints. To discern this, one
would need to traverse the EndPoints array, checking the Attributes and Address members of each
CCyUSBEndPoint object referenced in the array.
If no ISOCHRONOUS IN endpoints were enumerated by the device, IsocInEndPt will be set to NULL.
Example
10.40 IsocOutEndPt
CCyIsocEndPoint* CCyUSBDevice:: Previous Top Next
IsocOutEndPt
Description
IsocOutEndPt is a pointer to an object representing the first ISOCHRONOUS OUT endpoint enumerated

endpoint IO method (SetAltIntfc, Open, Reset, etc.)
More often, you will want to access the NtStatus member of the CCyUSBEndPoint objects.
10.46 Open( )
bool CCyUSBDevice::Open(UCHAR dev) Previous Top Next
Description
When Open( ) is called, it first checks to see if the CCyUSBDevice object is already opened to one of
the attached devices. If so, it calls Close( ), then proceeds.
Open( ) calls DeviceCount( ) to determine how many devices are attached to the USB driver.
Open( ) creates a valid handle to the device driver, through which all future access is accomplished by
the library methods.
Open( ) calls the driver to gather the device, interface, endpoint and string descriptors.
Open( ) results in the EndPoints array getting properly initialized to pointers of the default interface's
endpoints.
Open( ) initializes the BulkInEndPt member to point to an instance of CCyBulkEndPoint representing the
first Bulk-IN endpoint that was found. Similarly, the BulkOutEndPt,InterruptInEndPt,InterruptOutEndPt,
IsocInEndPt and IsocOutEndPt members are intialized to point to instances of their respective endpoint
classes if such endpoints were found.
After Open( ) returns true, all the properties and methods of CCyUSBDevice are legitimate.
Open( ) returns false if it is unsuccessful in accomplishing the above activities. However, if Open( ) was
able to obtain a valid handle to the driver, the handle will remain valid even after Open( ) returns false.
(When open fails, it does not automatically call Close( ).) This allows the programmer to call the Reset( )
or ReConnect( ) methods and then call Open( ) again. Sometimes this will allow a device to open
properly.
Example

11 CCyUSBConfig
CCyUSBConfig Class Previous Top Next
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
CCyUSBConfig represents a USB device configuration. Such configurations have one or more interfaces
each of which exposes one or more endpoints.
In the process of construction, CCyUSBConfig creates instances of CCyUSBInterface for each interface
exposed in the device's configuration descriptor. In turn, the CCyUSBInterface class creates instances
of CyUSBEndPoint for each endpoint descriptor contained in the interface descriptor. In this iterative
fashion, the entire structure of Configs->Interfaces->EndPoints gets populated from a single construction
of the CCyUSBConfig class.
The following example code shows how you might use the CCyUSBConfig class in an application.
Example
char buf[512];
string s;
11.1 AltInterfaces
CCyUSBConfig::AltInterfaces Previous Top Next
Description
AltInterfaces contains the total number of interfaces exposed by the configuration (including the default
interface). This value is the number of interface descriptors contained in the current configuration

PUSB_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTOR
pConfigDescr)
Description
This constructor creates a functional CCyUSBConfig object, complete with a populated Interfaces[]
array.
During construction, the pConfigDescr structure is traversed and all interface descriptors are read,
creating CCyUSBInterface objects.
This constructor is called automatically as part of the CCyUSBDevice::Open( ) method. You should
never need to call this constructor yourself.
11.9 CCyUSBConfig( )
CCyUSBConfig::CCyUSBConfig(CCyUSBConfig& Previous Top Next
cfg)
Description
This constructor copies all of the simple data members of cfg. Then, it walks through cfg 's list of
CCyUSBInterface objects and makes copies of them, storing pointers to the new interface objects in a
private, internal data array. (This is accomplished by calling the copy constructor for CCyUSBInterface.)
You should usually not call the copy constructor explicitly. Instead, use the GetUSBConfig( ) method of
the CCyUSBDevice class.
Example
11.10 ~CCyUSBConfig
CCyUSBConfig::~CCyUSBConfig(void) Previous Top Next

Description
wTotalLength contains value of the wTotalLength field from the selected configuration descriptor.
12 CCyUSBEndPoint
CCyUSBEndPoint Class Previous Top Next
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
All USB data traffic is accomplished by using instances of the endpoint classes.
When a CCyUSBDevice is opened, a list of all the EndPoints for the current alt interface is generated.
This list is populated with viable CCyUSBEndPoint objects, instantiated for the appropriate type of
endpoint. Data access is then accomplished via one of these CCyUSBEndPoint objects.
12.1 Abort( )
void CCyUSBEndPoint::Abort(void) Previous Top Next
Description
Abort sends an IOCTL_ADAPT_ABORT_PIPE command the the USB device, with the endpoint address
as a parameter. This causes an abort of pending IO transactions on the endpoint.
Example

Example
12.4 BeginDataXfer( )
virtual PUCHAR CCyUSBEndPoint:: Previous Top Next
BeginDataXfer(PCHAR buf, LONG len,
OVERLAPPED *ov) = 0
Description
Note that the CCyUSBEndPoint version of this method is a pure virtual function. There is no
implementation body for this function in the CCyUSBEndPoint class. Rather, all the classes derived from
CCyUSBEndPoint provide their own special implementation of this method.
BeginDataXfer is an advanced method for performing asynchronous IO. This method sets-up all the
parameters for a data transfer, initiates the transfer, and immediately returns, not waiting for the transfer
to complete.
BeginDataXfer allocates a complex data structure and returns a pointer to that structure.
FinishDataXfer de-allocates the structure. Therefore, it is imperative that each BeginDataXfer call have
exactly one matching FinishDataXfer call.
You will usually want to use the synchronous XferData method rather than the asynchronous
BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer approach.
Example
// Just to be cute, request the return data before initiating the loopback
UCHAR *inContext = USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->BeginDataXfer(inBuf, length, &inOvLap);
UCHAR *outContext = USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->BeginDataXfer(buffer, length,
&outOvLap);
USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->WaitForXfer(&outOvLap,100);
USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->WaitForXfer(&inOvLap,100);
CloseHandle(outOvLap.hEvent);
CloseHandle(inOvLap.hEvent);
12.5 bIn
bool CCyUSBEndPoint::bIn Previous Top Next
Description
IN endpoints transfer data from the USB device to the Host (PC).
Endpoint addresses with the high-order bit set (0x8_) are IN endpoints. Endpoint addresses with the
high-order bit cleared (0x0_) are OUT endpoints.
Example
bool In = USBDevice->EndPoints[i]->bIn;
bool bBulk = (USBDevice->EndPoints[i]->Attributes == 2);
12.6 CCyUSBEndPoint( )
CCyUSBEndPoint::CCyUSBEndPoint(void) Previous Top Next

Description
Because CCyUSBEndPoint is an abstract class, you cannot invoke this constructor explicitly. Instead,
it gets called as a side effect of invoking the copy constructors for CCyControlEndPoint,
CCyBulkEndPoint,CCyIsocEndPoint, and CCyInterruptEndPoint.
Example
12.9 DscLen
UCHAR CCyUSBEndPoint::DscLen Previous Top Next
Description
DscLen contains the length of the endpoint descriptor as reported in the bLength field of the
USB_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR structure that was passed to the endpoint object's constructor.
(Because the passed descriptor was an endpoint descriptor, this value should always be 0x07.)
This data member exists for completeness and debugging purposes. You should normally never need to
access this data member.
12.10 DscType
UCHAR CCyUSBEndPoint::DscType Previous Top Next
Description
DscType contains the type of the endpoint descriptor as reported in the bDescriptorType field of the
USB_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR structure that was passed to the endpoint object's constructor.
(Because the passed descriptor was an endpoint descriptor, this value should always be 0x05.)
This data member exists for completeness and debugging purposes. You should normally never need to
access this data member.
12.11 GetXferSize( )
ULONG CCyUSBEndPoint::GetXferSize(void) Previous Top Next
Description
Each non-control endpoint has a transfer size that is some multiple of its MaxPacketSize. This transfer
size can be adjusted programmatically.
The transfer size establishes the size of internal buffers used by the USB driver stack for performing data
transfers. Larger values for the transfer size enable data transfers involving fewer transactions. However,
those larger buffers also consume more available memory.
GetXferSize( ) returns the current transfer size setting for the endpoint.
12.12 FinishDataXfer( )
bool CCyUSBEndPoint::FinishDataXfer(PCHAR Previous Top Next
buf, LONG &len, OVERLAPPED *ov, PUCHAR
pXmitBuf, CCyIsoPktInfo* pktInfos = NULL)
Description
FinishDataXfer transfers any received bytes into buf . It sets the len parameter to the actual number of
bytes transferred. Finally, FinishDataXfer frees the memory associated with the pXmitBuf pointer. This
pointer was returned by a previous corresponding call to BeginDataXfer.
The pointer to an OVERLAPPED structure, passed in the ov parameter, should be the same one that
was passed to the corresponding BeginDataXfer method.
The pktInfos parameter is optional and points to an array of CCyIsoPktInfo objects. It should only be
used for Isochronous endpoint transfers.
You will usually want to use the synchronous XferData method rather than the asynchronous
BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer approach.
Example
ZeroMemory(inBuf, 128);
// Just to be cute, request the return data before initiating the loopback
UCHAR *inContext = USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->BeginDataXfer(inBuf, length, &inOvLap);
UCHAR *outContext = USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->BeginDataXfer(buffer, length,
&outOvLap);
USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->WaitForXfer(&outOvLap,100);
USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->WaitForXfer(&inOvLap,100);
CloseHandle(outOvLap.hEvent);
CloseHandle(inOvLap.hEvent);
12.13 hDevice
HANDLE CCyUSBEndPoint::hDevice Previous Top Next
Description
hDevice contains a handle to the USB device driver, through which all the IO is carried-out. The handle
is created by the Open( ) method of a CCyUSBDevice object.
The only reason to access this data member would be to call the device driver explicitly, bypassing the
API library methods. This is not recommended.
You should never call CloseHandle(hDevice) directly. Instead, call the Close( ) method of a
CCyUSBDevice object.
Note that an instance of CCyUSBDevice will contain several CCyUSBEndPoint objects. Each of those
will have the same value for their hDevice member. Also, the endpont's hDevice member will be identical
to its container CCyUSBDevice object's private hDevice member (accessed via the DeviceHandle( )
method).
12.14 Interval
UCHAR CCyUSBEndPoint::Interval Previous Top Next
Description
Interval contains the value reported in the bInterval field of the USB_ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTOR
structure that was passed to the endpoint object's constructor.
This data member exists for completeness and debugging purposes. You should normally never need to
12.15 MaxPktSize
UCHAR CCyUSBEndPoint::MaxPktSize Previous Top Next
Description
NOTE: For ISOC transfers, the buffer length and the endpoint's transfers size (see SetXferSize) must be
a multiple of 8 times the endpoint's MaxPktSize.
Example
12.16 NtStatus
ULONG CCyUSBEndPoint::NtStatus Previous Top Next
Description
NtStatus member contains the error code returned from the last call to the XferData or BeginDataXfer
methods.
12.17 Reset( )
bool CCyUSBEndPoint::Reset(void) Previous Top Next
Description
The Reset method resets the endpoint, clearing any error or stall conditions on that endpoint.
Call Abort( ) for the endpoint in order force completion of any transfers in-process.
12.18 SetXferSize( )
void CCyUSBEndPoint::SetXferSize(ULONG xfer Previous Top Next
)
Description
Each non-control endpoint has a transfer size that is some multiple of its MaxPktSize. This transfer size
can be adjusted programmatically.
The transfer size establishes the size of internal buffers used by the USB driver stack for performing data
transfers. Larger values for the transfer size enable data transfers involving fewer transactions. However,
those larger buffers also consume more available memory.
SetXferSize( ) sets the current transfer size setting for the endpoint. It automatically sets the transfer
size to a multiple of the endpoint's MaxPktSize property that is greater or equal to the requested xfer
size.
Please refer given link for more information set transfer size :http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/
ff538112.aspx
NOTE: For ISOC transfers, the buffer length and the endpoint's transfers size (see SetXferSize) must be
a multiple of 8 times the endpoint's MaxPktSize.
12.19 TimeOut
ULONG CCyUSBEndPoint::TimeOut Previous Top Next
Description
TimeOut limits the length of time that a XferData( ) call will wait for the transfer to complete.
NOTE : For CCyControlEndPoint, the TimeOut is rounded down to the nearest 1000 ms, except for
values between 0 and 1000 which are rounded up to 1000.
Set the TimeOut values to 0xFFFFFFFF(INFINITE), to wait for infinite time on the any transfers(bulk,
Isochronous,Interrupt, and Control).
The TimeOut value 0 for bulk,interrupt,and isochronous transfers does not wait for read/write operation to
complete, it will return immediately.
The TimeOut value 0 for control transfer is rounded up to 1000ms.
The default TimeOut for Bulk,Interrupt, Control, and Isochronous transfers is 10 seconds. User can
override this value depending upon their application needs.
Example
USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->XferData(buf, length);
12.20 UsbdStatus
ULONG CCyUSBEndPoint::UsbdStatus Previous Top Next
Description
UsbdStatus member contains an error code returned from the last call to the XferData or BeginDataXfer
methods.
12.21 WaitForXfer( )
bool CCyUSBEndPoint::WaitForXfer( Previous Top Next
OVERLAPPED *ov, ULONG tOut)
Description
This method is used in conjunction with BeginDataXfer and FinishDataXfer to perform asynchronous IO.
The ov parameter points to the OVERLAPPED object that was passed in the preceding BeginDataXfer
call.
tOut limits the time, in milliseconds, that the library will wait for the transaction to complete.
You will usually want to use the synchronous XferData method rather than the asynchronous
BeginDataXfer/WaitForXfer/FinishDataXfer approach.
Example
// Just to be cute, request the return data before initiating the loopback
UCHAR *inContext = USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->BeginDataXfer(inBuf, length, &inOvLap);
UCHAR *outContext = USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->BeginDataXfer(buffer, length,
&outOvLap);
USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->WaitForXfer(&outOvLap,100);
USBDevice->BulkInEndPt->WaitForXfer(&inOvLap,100);
CloseHandle(outOvLap.hEvent);
CloseHandle(inOvLap.hEvent);
12.22 XferData( )
bool CCyUSBEndPoint::XferData(PUCHAR buf, Previous Top Next
LONG &bufLen, CCyIsoPktInfo* pktInfos)
Description
This is the primary IO method of the library for transferring data. Most data transfers should occur by
invoking the XferData method of an instantiated endpoint object.
XferData calls the appropriate BeginDataXfer method for the instantiated class (one of
CCyBulkEndPoint,CCyControlEndPoint,CCyInterrruptEndPoint, or CCyIsocEndPoint). It then waits for
the transaction to complete (or until the endpoint's TimeOut expires), and finally calls the FinishDataXfer
method to complete the transaction. It call Abort() method internally if operation fail.
For all non-control endpoints, the direction of the transfer is implied by the endpoint itself. (Each such
endpoint will either be an IN or an OUT endpoint.)
For control endpoints, the Direction must be specified, along with the other control-specific parameters.
XferData performs synchronous (i.e. blocking) IO operations. It does not return until the transaction
completes or the endpoint's TimeOut has elapsed.
Returns true if the transaction successfully completes before TimeOut has elapsed.
Note that the len parameter is a reference, meaning that the method can modify its value. The number of
bytes actually transferred is passed back in len .
The pktInfos parameter is optional and points to an array of CCyIsoPktInfo objects. It should only be
used for Isochronous endpoint transfers.
NOTE: For ISOC transfers, the buffer length and the endpoint's transfers size (see SetXferSize) must be
a multiple of 8 times the endpoint's MaxPktSize.
Please refere XferData for Isochronous transfer for how to use the XferData for isochronous transfer.
Below sample demonstrate usage of XferData() api for bulk and interrupt transfer.
Example
if (USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt)
USBDevice->BulkOutEndPt->XferData(buf, length);
13 CCyUSBInterface
Header
CyUSB.h
Description
CCyUSBInterface represents a USB device interface. Such interfaces have one or more endpoints.
In the process of construction, CCyUSBConfig creates instances of CCyUSBInterface for each interface
exposed in the device's configuration descriptor. In turn, the CCyUSBInterface class creates instances
of CyUSBEndPoint for each endpoint descriptor contained in the interface descriptor. In this iterative
fashion, the entire structure of Configs->Interfaces->EndPoints gets populated from a single construction
of the CCyUSBConfig class.
The below example code shows how you might use the CCyUSBInterface class in an application.
Example
char buf[512];
string s;
sprintf_s(buf,"wTotalLength: %d (0x%x)\n",cfg.wTotalLength,cfg.wTotalLength);
s.append(buf);
sprintf_s(buf,"bNumInterfaces: %d\n",cfg.bNumInterfaces); s.append(buf);
sprintf_s(buf,"bConfigurationValue: %d\n",cfg.bConfigurationValue); s.append(buf);
sprintf_s(buf,"iConfiguration: %d\n",cfg.iConfiguration); s.append(buf);
sprintf_s(buf,"bmAttributes: 0x%x\n",cfg.bmAttributes); s.append(buf);
sprintf_s(buf,"MaxPower: %d\n",cfg.MaxPower); s.append(buf);
s.append("**********************************\n");
cout<<s;
s.clear();

one, saving a pointer to each new endpoint in the class's EndPoints array.
13.5 CCyUSBInterface( )
CCyUSBInterface::CCyUSBInterface:( Previous Top Next
CCyUSBInterface& intfc)
Description
This constructor copies all of the simple data members of intfc . It then walks through intfc 's EndPoints
array, making copies of every endpoint referenced there and storing pointers to the new copies in its own
EndPoints array.
You should usually not call the copy constructor explicitly. It is called by the copy constructor for
CCyUSBConfig when CCyUSBDevice::GetUSBConfig( ) is called.
The below example shows how you could create a copy of the first interface exposed by a device.
