MTP

A USB Media Transfer Protocol device backed by a small in-RAM filesystem that the host can browse, read from and write to.

What it does

• Presents a single MTP storage preloaded with two read-only objects: readme.txt and tinyusb.png.
• Supports core MTP operations: get device info, open/close session, get storage IDs and storage info, enumerate object handles, get object info, get object and get partial object, and a device property (device friendly name).
• Lets the host upload one additional object (SendObjectInfo / SendObject) into a 4 KB RAM buffer and delete objects (unless built read-only).
• Handles MTP class control requests: cancel, device reset and get device status.
• LED blink rate indicates bus state (not mounted / mounted / suspended).

Building

CMake:

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DBOARD=raspberry_pi_pico ..
cmake --build .

Make:

make BOARD=raspberry_pi_pico all

Try it

The device enumerates as an MTP device and shows up in a file browser (e.g. the Files/Explorer app, or mtp-detect / mtp-files from libmtp). You should see readme.txt and tinyusb.png; you can copy a small file onto the device and delete files.
