How to Write a driver for an MCU?

Hi,...

Can anyone help me in writing a driver for a USB Bluetooth dongle.?

I want to upload this driver on a microcontroller.

The whole idea is I want to connect a Bluetooth dongle to an MCU in order to communicate with my cell phone via Bluetooth.

Can anyone help.?

Thanks very much for your time.

First you need to choose a microcontroller which provide USB Host port. AFAIK you can find this kind of support on high end microcontollers only and its not possible to provide a generic solution until you finalize the micorcontroller.

writing driver for microcontroller

Thanks very much for your reply, I was waiting for a long time.

The microcontroller will be one of these:
PIC18F2455, PIC18F2550, PIC18F4455, PIC18F4550.

The bluetooth dongle is from Billionton
**broken link removed**

Unfortunately, this USB bluetooth dongle is the only model available where I live.

Thanks very much for your help.

Are you sure those microcontroller provide USB Host port? I don't think so

I agree with you Budhy, here is the quote from datasheet where it clearly mentions that USB host is required on other side.

The PIC18FX455/X550 device family contains a
full-speed and low-speed compatible USB Serial Interface
Engine (SIE) that allows fast communication
between any USB host and the PIC® microcontroller.

how to make usb host using pic18f4455

Thanks to all of you guys,..

I know that the MCU's I mentioned above don't have USB host controllers. That's why I'll use the MAX3421E or any equivalent. But, I'll still need to write the driver of the USB Bluetooth dongle I have.

Thanks again for your time.

writing mcu code

if you want to write a usb driver for PIC18FXXXX you can use Mikroc compiler it make a simple driver for this MCUs but this compiler creat an slave driver for you and you need a host driver too. i think this site will help you for writing the host driver
www.usb.org

max3421e bluetooth

Yali,...

Thanks very much for your help. I'm know about the host/peripheral issue. I'll use the MAX3421E as a host but I still need the driver of the Bluetooth dongle.

I working now on the MikroC compiler, However it will take some time to get used to it.

Thanks again my friend for your help.

I found that the MikroBasic 5.0.0.2 have the same USB_HID library that MikroC have.

 

[seadolphine2000]

Attached here is the code I found for a USB connection however, this code is written for an HID.
Also, it's only the intialization, there's nothing mentioned about how to write a driver.

I have question:
The code says that there's a sequence of numbers is sent to the PC via USB cable. How will I receive this sequence? I can I check it?

Thanks very much for your help.
