# ESP Hardware Abstraction Layer for USB Peripheral(s)
> [!NOTE]
> This component is currently in beta. Its API, behavior, and compatibility may change at any time and without notice; backward compatibility is not guaranteed. Use caution when integrating into production systems.
## Overview
The `esp_hal_usb` component provides a **Hardware Abstraction Layer** for USB controllers and PHYs across all ESP-IDF supported targets. USB (Universal Serial Bus) enables communication between the ESP device and USB hosts or devices, supporting various USB speeds and transfer types for data exchange.
## Architecture
The USB HAL is structured in two main sub-layers:
1. **HAL Layer (Upper)**: Defines the operational steps and data structures required to control USB peripherals (e.g., initialization, endpoint configuration, transfer management, PHY control).
2. **Low-Level Layer (Bottom)**: Serves as a translation layer between the HAL and the register files defined in the `soc` component, handling target-specific register configurations.
## Supported USB Controllers and PHYs
This HAL supports various USB controller and PHY types depending on the ESP chip:
- **USB-DWC (DesignWare USB Controller)**: The main USB OTG controller supporting USB Host and Device modes
- **USB Serial JTAG**: A special USB peripheral that combines USB CDC-ACM functionality with JTAG debugging capabilities
- **USB WRAP**: A wrapper/peripheral controller that provides additional USB functionality and GPIO matrix integration
- **USB PHY Types**:
- **FSLS (Full Speed/Low Speed) Internal PHY**: Built-in PHY supporting USB Full Speed and Low Speed operation
- **FSLS External PHY**: Support for external FSLS PHY via GPIO matrix
- **UTMI PHY**: UTMI+ compliant PHY interface for High Speed USB support
## Features
- USB controller initialization and configuration
- Endpoint management (IN/OUT endpoints)
- Transfer type support (Control, Bulk, Interrupt, Isochronous)
- USB speed detection and configuration (High Speed, Full Speed, Low Speed)
- FIFO configuration and management
- PHY initialization and control (FSLS and UTMI)
- GPIO matrix signal routing for USB PHY interfaces
- OTG (On-The-Go) signal handling
- Interrupt management and event handling
- Multi-controller support (on chips with multiple USB controllers)
## Usage
The HAL functions primarily serve ESP-IDF USB drivers, primarily the [USB Host stack](https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/usb).
## Dependencies
- `soc`: Provides chip-specific register definitions
- `hal`: Core hardware abstraction utilities and macros
