USB device stack API
####################
API reference
*************
There are two ways to transmit data, using the 'low' level read/write API or
the 'high' level transfer API.
Low level API
To transmit data to the host, the class driver should call usb_write().
Upon completion the registered endpoint callback will be called. Before
sending another packet the class driver should wait for the completion of
the previous write. When data is received, the registered endpoint callback
is called. usb_read() should be used for retrieving the received data.
For CDC ACM sample driver this happens via the OUT bulk endpoint handler
(cdc_acm_bulk_out) mentioned in the endpoint array (cdc_acm_ep_data).
High level API
The usb_transfer method can be used to transfer data to/from the host. The
transfer API will automatically split the data transmission into one or more
USB transaction(s), depending endpoint max packet size. The class driver does
not have to implement endpoint callback and should set this callback to the
generic usb_transfer_ep_callback.
