This ticket can be considered closed.

I managed to implement USB detection function using NRFX_POWER library and AI Helper on the site)). This solution saved 5% Flash and 20% RAM memory.

Thank you again, Hakon, for your help.

That would be great.

Can you please tell me if you have an example of such an implementation?

Hi,

You can use NRFX_POWER for this purpose, this can give you the power events that you're after with little overhead in terms of RAM/flash usage.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Yeah, that helped. Thank you so much for your help.

However, such a solution is memory resource intensive, in particular RAM memory (assuming I don't need to transfer any data over USB, I just need to detect when the charger is connected to the board).

Is it possible to solve this problem by directly accessing registers?

Would such a solution be more economical in terms of RAM memory?

Try to add this to your board:

https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-zephyr/blob/v3.6.99-ncs2/boards/nordic/nrf52833dk/nrf52833dk_nrf52820.dts#L176-L179

And remove the build folder and regenerate the project.

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi.

I am using a custom board based on the nRF52820.
SDK v.2.7.0
Toolchain v.2.7.0

When building the HID project, I also see errors -->

Hi,

I added your prj.conf and src to hello_world, and compiled for board nrf52833dk_nrf52820 without seeing any compiler problems.

Could you share more information about your build, ie. which board and ncs version that you are using?

Can you for instance build zephyr/samples/subsys/usb/hid without problems?

Kind regards,

Håkon

Hi Hakon. Thank you for your response with an example.

But I am not yet able to implement this function in my application. I'm getting errors that I can't fix.

Here's my code -->

#include <stdio.h>
#include <zephyr/kernel.h>
#include <zephyr/drivers/gpio.h>
#include <zephyr/usb/usb_device.h>

#include <zephyr/logging/log.h>
LOG_MODULE_REGISTER(v52820, LOG_LEVEL_DBG);

static void usbd_status(enum usb_dc_status_code cb_status, const uint8_t *param)
{
	switch (cb_status) {
	case USB_DC_CONNECTED:
		LOG_DBG("USB_DC_CONNECTED");
		break;
	case USB_DC_DISCONNECTED:
		LOG_DBG("USB_DC_DISCONNECTED");
		break;
	default:
		break;
	}
}

int main(void)
{
	int err;

	err = usb_enable(usbd_status);
	if (err) {
		LOG_ERR("usb_enable: %d", err);
		return false;
	}

	while (1){
	
		k_msleep(1000);			
	}

	return 0;
}

prj.conf file -->

CONFIG_GPIO=y
CONFIG_LOG=y
CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_STACK=y

Here are the errors I see while building the project -->

...

Can you please tell me where I'm making a mistake?

Does the prj.conf file need to include anything else besides CONFIG_USB_DEVICE_STACK?

Thanks.

Hi,

You can use the usb_enable function to provide a callback that gives such information:

RE: nRF52820 USB connection detection

Here's an example implementation:
