 Driver Overview 5

1 Driver Overview
The CYUSB3.SYS driver is licensed for distribution ONLY with Cypress USB products and
products that employ Cypress USB chips.

CyUSB3.sys is a kernel mode USB function driver,it is capable of communicating with any USB 2.0 and
USB3.0 compliant devices. The driver is general-purpose, understanding primitive USB commands, but
not implementing higher-level, USB device-class specific commands. For this reason, the driver is not
capable, for instance, of interfacing a USB mass storage class device to the Windows file system.
Please note that this release does not include the USB3.0 bulk streaming interface.

The driver would be ideal for communicating with a vendor-specific device from a custom USB application
or to send low-level USB requests to any USB device for experimental or diagnostic applications.

In order to use the driver to communicate with a device, Windows must match the device to the driver.

The class library, CyAPI.lib and Cyusb.dll, provides a high-level programming interface to the driver. This
help file documents the low-level, more cumbersome and explicit programming interface.

The driver supports following operating systems and platform.

1. Windows XP 32 bit
2. Windows Vista 32/64bit
3. Windows 7 and 32/64 bit
4. Windows 8 Beta 32/64 bit

Cypress signed CyUSB3.sys driver for following Cypress VID/PID pairs.

1. VID_04B4&PID_00F0
2. VID_04B4&PID_00F1
3. VID_04B4&PID_00F3
4. VID_04B4&PID_4720

Please note, the driver is signed for above mentioned pairs of Cypress VID/PID. If you modify CyUSB3.
inf to add your own VID/PID, the driver will become unsigned. However, Windows OS will allow to install
the unsigned driver with warning messages on 32-bit and 64-bit platform. You can go for WHQL driver
certification with your own VID/PID once your product is ready.

 Modifying CyUSB3.INF 7

2 Modifying CyUSB3.INF
The CYUSB3.INF file can be modified to accomplish several different objectives. These are:

1. Add a device's identifiers to the driver

2. Replace Cypress strings that are displayed during driver installation
3. Implement a custom GUID for the driver

NOTE: x86 refers to the 32bit OS and amd64 refers to 64 bit OS.

Add a device's identifiers to the driver

The following steps describe the process of adding a device's vendor ID and product ID to the CYSUB3.
INF file.

1. Locate the following sections [Device],[Device.NT],[Device.Ntx86] and [Device.Ntamd64] and

remove the semicolon of each item under the each section
;%VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX.DeviceDesc%=CyUSB3, USB\VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX

2. Change the VID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the VendorID for the device and
change the PID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the ProductID for the device

For example, a device with vendorID 0x04B4 and productID 0xDE01 would have a new entry in the
above listed sections like
following
%VID_04B4&PID_DE01.DeviceDesc%=CyUSB3, USB\VID_04B4&PID_DE01

3. Change [String] section for Device Description according to the Vendor ID and Product ID.
VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX.DeviceDesc="Cypress USB3.0 Generic Driver"

4. Change the VID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the VendorID for the device

Change the PID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the ProductID for the device

For example, a device with vendorID 0x04B4 and productID 0xDE01 would have a new entry in the
[Strings] section like the
following
VID_04B4&PID_DE01.DeviceDesc="Cypress FX3 Bulk sample"

Replace Cypress strings

If you plan to do more than j ust add your device's VID/PID to the CYUSB3.INF file, it is strongly
recommended that you create your own .INF file and a copy of CYUSB3.SYS that you have re-named.
The remaining instructions assume that you have created your own .INF file to match your newly named
copy of CYUSB3.SYS.

The driver can be customized to report a company other than Cypress as its manufacturer and provider.

1. Locate the [Strings] section at the bottom of the CYUSB3.INF file.

© 2012 Cypress Semiconductor

8 Cypress CyUsb3.sys Programmer's Reference

2. Change the quoted CYUSB3_Provider string.

3. Change the quoted CYUSB3_DisplayName string.

4. Change the quoted CYUSB3_Company string.

5. Change the quoted CYUSB3_Description string.

Implement a custom GUID

Applications software usually accesses the driver using the driver's Global Unique IDentifier (GUID).
Each driver in the Windows system should have a unique GUID. By employing distinct GUIDs, multiple
instances of CYUSB3.SYS from different hardware vendors can exist on a given system without
colliding.

1. To change the driver's GUID,

2. Use the GUIDGEN.EXE utility (distributed with Microsoft Visual Studio) to get a new GUID.

3. Locate the [Strings] section in the CyUSB3.inf file

4. Locate the line

CYUSB3.GUID="{AE18AA60-7F6A-11d4-97DD-00010229B959}"
and replace the quoted GUID string with the new one you created. (Retain the curly braces.)

Execute a script at start-up

The CYUSB3.SYS driver can be used to perform transfers to the default control endpoint (endpoint
address 0) when the device is started.

To configure the driver to perform a control transfer at startup

1. Use the CyControl.exe application to create a script file containing the control transfer commands.

2. Save the script as a file named MyDevice.SPT

3. Place that script file in the same directory as the the driver's .INF file

A common use of this feature is to have the driver play a script which downloads a firmware image to the
USB device, thereby modifying its "personality" and usually causing it to re-enumerate on the bus. If this
re-enumeration occurs with the same VID/PID as the original "personality", the script will be executed
again and again in an un-ending loop.

To avoid this endless loop scenario, the second personality should enumerate with a different VID/PID
than the one which caused the script to play.

The .inf file can be modified to play a script when one VID/PID is enumerated and to simply load the
driver when a different VID/PID is detected.

How to disable the CyScript feature

To disable this feature the user needs to delete the key 'DriverEXECSCRIPT' from the registry.
The following steps should be followed to delete the key.

© 2012 Cypress Semiconductor

 Modifying CyUSB3.INF 9

1. Execute the 'regedit.exe' application.

2. Search for the 'DriverEXECSCRIPT'.
3. Delete the key 'DriverEXECSCRIPT'.
4. Close 'regedit.exe'.

The following is an excerpt from a .inf file that plays a script called MyDevice.spt when VID/PID of
04B4/00F3 is enumerated. If VID/PID 0547/00F0 enumerates, the script is not played.

NOTE: For FX3 devices, the MyDevice.spt script will play only when the connected device supports FX3
boot commands.

 14 Cypress CyUsb3.sys Programmer's Reference

3.1 Windows XP
Usually, matching of a USB device to the CYUSB3.SYS driver will need to be manually configured.

Please follow below steps to update the INF file and driver installation on Windows XP.

Note: Please skip step B to install driver on 32-bit OS.

Step A : Please follow the below steps to add the device's VendorID and ProductID to the CYUSB3.INF
file.

1. After installation of the Cypress Suite USB installer, the driver file is located in a Driver
subdirectory of the install directory. (Default is C:\Program Files\Cypress\FX3 Host
Software\Driver\bin.).

2. Open the file CYUSB3.INF with a text editor (notepad.exe, for instance)

3. Locate the following sections [Device],[Device.NT],[Device.Ntx86] and [Device.Ntamd64] and

remove the semicolon of each item under the each section
;%VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX.DeviceDesc%=CyUsb3, USB\VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX.

4. Change the VID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the VendorID for the device and
change the PID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the ProductID for the device.

For example, a device with vendorID 0x04B4 and productID 0xDE01 would have a new entry in
the above listed sections like following:
%VID_04B4&PID_DE01.DeviceDesc%=CyUSB3, USB\VID_04B4&PID_DE01

5. Change [String] section for Device Description according to the Vendor ID and Product ID.
VID_XXXX&PID_XXXX.DeviceDesc="Cypress USB3.0 Generic Driver"

6. Change the VID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the VendorID for the device and
change the PID_XXXX to contain the hexadecimal value of the ProductID for the device.

For example, a device with vendorID 0x04B4 and productID 0xDE01 would have a new entry
in the [Strings] section like the following:
VID_04B4&PID_DE01.DeviceDesc="Cypress FX3 Bulk loopback"

7. Save the file.

Step B : Please follow the below steps to force WindowsXP to use the cyusb3.sys driver with the
device.

1. Connect the device to the PC

2. If Windows prompts for a driver or indicates that it needs a driver, direct the PC to use the
CYUSB3.SYS driver by steering it to the CYUSB3.INF file in the [InstallDir]\Driver directory.

3. If Windows does not prompt for a driver, it has already matched the device to a driver itself. In
this case, you will need to see if the CYUSB3.SYS driver was selected and, if not, manually
instruct Windows to use that driver.

4. Right-click My Computer and select the Manage menu item.

 Reinstalling the Driver 19

4 Reinstalling the Driver

While reinstalling the driver with another .inf file which contains the same VID- PID combination, it's safe
to remove all oemXX.inf and oemXX.pnf files from the directory "C:\WINDOWS\inf\" which have same
VID-PID combination.

Note:
Installing the driver using .inf file, Windows creates corresponding oemXX.inf and oemXX.pnf backup
files in the directory "C:\WINDOWS\inf\". There is a chance for mistaking the backup .inf file instead of
the new .inf file that customer really wants to install.

5 The IOCTL Interface

Applications software communicates with the CYUSB3.SYS driver primarily through the DeviceIoControl
( ) function. (See the Windows SDK documentation for details about DeviceIoControl.)

Calls to DeviceIoControl require an IO Control (aka IOCTL) code parameter. The IOCTL codes define the
programming interface that a driver supports and are particular to any given driver. The control code
specified in a DeviceIoControl( ) call determines the values that must be specified for the other
DeviceIoControl parameters.

This help file provides the IOCTL 'dictionary' for the CYUSB3.SYS driver.

Example

DWORD dwBytes = 0;
UCHAR EndptAddress = 0x82;

DeviceIoControl(hDevice, IOCTL_ADAPT_RESET_PIPE,
&EndptAddress, sizeof (EndptAddress),
NULL, 0,

5.1 Getting a Handle to the Driver

In order to use the IOCTL codes supported by the driver, you will need to obtain a Windows handle to the
driver.

A very simple way to accomplish this is to utilize the CyAPI class library. After creating a
CCyUSBDevice object, a handle to the driver will have been setup automatically. Closing or deleting the
CCyUSBDevice object frees the handle.

Example 1:

CCyUSBDevice *USBDevice = new CCyUSBDevice();

HANDLE hDevice = USBDevice->DeviceHandle();
.
.
.
.
delete USBDevice;

The more typical (and complex) way to obtain a handle is to make a sequence of SetupDi calls, passing
the driver GUID declared in CyAPI.h. The default driver guid is defined as:

// {AE18AA60-7F6A-11d4-97DD-00010229B959}
static GUID CYUSBDRV_GUID = {0xae18aa60, 0x7f6a, 0x11d4, 0x97, 0xdd, 0x0, 0x1, 0x2,
0x29, 0xb9, 0x59};

The CyAPI library uses the following code to obtain a handle, using the GUID.

Example 2:

SP_DEVINFO_DATA devInfoData;
SP_DEVICE_INTERFACE_DATA devInterfaceData;
PSP_INTERFACE_DEVICE_DETAIL_DATA functionClassDeviceData;

ULONG requiredLength = 0;
int deviceNumber = 0; // Can be other values if more than 1 device connected to driver

HDEVINFO hwDeviceInfo = SetupDiGetClassDevs ( (LPGUID) &CYUSBDRV_GUID,

NULL,
NULL,
DIGCF_PRESENT|DIGCF_INTERFACEDEVICE);

if (hwDeviceInfo != INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) {

devInterfaceData.cbSize = sizeof(devInterfaceData);

if (SetupDiEnumDeviceInterfaces ( hwDeviceInfo, 0, (LPGUID) &CYUSBDRV_GUID,

deviceNumber, &devInterfaceData)) {

SetupDiGetInterfaceDeviceDetail ( hwDeviceInfo, &devInterfaceData, NULL, 0,

&requiredLength, NULL);

ULONG predictedLength = requiredLength;

functionClassDeviceData = (PSP_INTERFACE_DEVICE_DETAIL_DATA) malloc

(predictedLength);
functionClassDeviceData->cbSize = sizeof (SP_INTERFACE_DEVICE_DETAIL_DATA);

devInfoData.cbSize = sizeof(devInfoData);

if (SetupDiGetInterfaceDeviceDetail (hwDeviceInfo,
&devInterfaceData,
functionClassDeviceData,
predictedLength,
&requiredLength,
&devInfoData)) {

hDevice = CreateFile (functionClassDeviceData->DevicePath,

GENERIC_WRITE | GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE | FILE_SHARE_READ,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED,
NULL);

free(functionClassDeviceData);
SetupDiDestroyDeviceInfoList(hwDeviceInfo);

5.19 IOCTL_ADAPT_SEND_NON_EP0_TRANSFER
Description

This IOCTL command is used to request Bulk, Interrupt or Isochronous data transfers across
corresponding USB device endpoints.

Regardless of whether the endpoint is an IN or an OUT endpoint, a pointer to a single data structure is
passed to DeviceIoControl( ) as both the lpInBuffer and lpOutBuffer parameters. The driver expects that
the pointer references a SINGLE_TRANSFER structure, followed by a data buffer. In the case of OUT
endpoints, the buffer is expected to contain the data bytes to be transmitted. In the case of an IN
endpoint, the buffer is expected to be the writeable memory for received data bytes.

Special ISOC Constraints

The endpoint maximum transfer size and buffer length parameter must both be a multiple of the
endpoint's MaxPacketSize.

For ISOC transfers on a device operating at High speed or Super Speed, the following constraints apply
to this command:
1) The buffer length parameter (bufLen in the below examples) must also be a multiple of the endpoint's
MaxPacketSize * 8. Please also note that last packet is allow to send with partial size(less than Max
packet) for both super and high speed Isochronous transfer.
2) For Super speed Isochronous endpoint only , if device define the MaxBurst in the super speed
endpoint companion descriptor then Maxburst should be used to calculate the packet size=
(MaxpacketSize * (MaxBurst+1). This packet length data will be sent over one micro frame interval.

Example

PUCHAR CCyBulkEndPoint::BeginDataXfer(PCHAR buf, LONG bufLen, OVERLAPPED *ov)

{
if (hDevice == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) return NULL;
int iXmitBufSize = sizeof (SINGLE_TRANSFER) + bufLen;

5.20 IOCTL_ADAPT_SEND_NON_EP0_DIRECT
Description

This IOCTL is used to request Bulk, Interrupt or Isochronous data transfers across corresponding USB
device endpoints.

The DeviceIoControl call requires two buffer parameters. For this command, the first buffer must contain
a properly initialized SINGLE_TRANSFER structure.

The SINGLE_TRANSFER fields of BufferOffset and BufferLength should be set to 0 for this command.

The second buffer is for the actual transfer data. For an OUT endpoint, this will contain the data headed
to the USB device. For an IN endpoint, this buffer will hold the data that is received from the device.

Special ISOC Constraints

The endpoint maximum transfer size and buffer length parameter must both be a multiple of the
endpoint's MaxPacketSize.

For ISOC transfers on a device operating at High speed or Super Speed, the following constraints apply
to this command:

1) The buffer length parameter (bufLen in the below examples) must also be a multiple of the endpoint's
MaxPacketSize * 8. Please also note that last packet is allow to send with partial size(less than Max
packet) for both super and high speed Isochronous transfer.
2) For Super speed Isochronous endpoint only , if device define the MaxBurst in the super speed
endpoint companion descriptor then Maxburst should be used to calculate the packet size=
(MaxpacketSize * (MaxBurst+1)). This packet length data will be sent over one micro frame interval.

The SINGLE_TRANSFER structure must be followed by additional space sufficient to hold the
PACKET_INFO structures for the transfer (see examples #2 and #3, below).

Example #1 (Bulk and Interrupt endpoints)

6.2 SINGLE_TRANSFER
Header
cyioctl.h

Description

A pointer to a SINGLE_TRANSFER structure is passed to the driver for the

IOCTL_ADAPT_SEND_NON_EP0_TRANSFER and
IOCTL_ADAPT_SEND_EP0_CONTROL_TRANSFER commands.

The structure is defined as:

typedef struct _SINGLE_TRANSFER {

union {
SETUP_PACKET SetupPacket;
ISO_ADV_PARAMS IsoParams;
};
UCHAR Reserved;
UCHAR ucEndpointAddress;
ULONG NtStatus;
ULONG UsbdStatus;
ULONG IsoPacketOffset;
ULONG IsoPacketLength;
ULONG BufferOffset;
ULONG BufferLength;
} SINGLE_TRANSFER, *PSINGLE_TRANSFER;

Members

SetupPacket
Contains required parameters for Control Endpoint transfers,
IsoParams
Contains optional parameters for Isochronous Endpoint transfers.
reserved
Reserved. Should be set to 0.
ucEndpointAddress
Specified the address of the device endpoint in which the transfer will occur.
NtStatus
NTSTATUS values that are returned by the driver.
UsbdStatus
USB_STATUS_XXX codes returned from the host controller driver.
IsoPacketOffset
Specifies the byte offset from the beginning of the structure to an IsoPacket list.
IsoPacketLength
The length, in bytes, of the IsoPacket list specified at offset IsoPacketOffset.
BufferOffset
Specifies the byte offset from the beginning of the structure to a transfer buffer.
BufferLength
The length, in bytes, of the transfer buffer at offset BufferOffset.

8 EZ-USB.sys to CyUSB3.sys Migration Guide

This chapter provides comparison between ezusb.sys and cyusb3.sys driver IOCTL interface. If you are
using the ezusb.sys and wants migrate to cyusb3.sys to take advantage of advance feature supported
by cyusb3.sys, please refer below table. This table shows one-o-one mapping of two drivers IOCTL
interface.
