Hi,
I am stuck at the point where the endpoints at my disposal are not enough to fulfill the functional requirements. I am using lpc3131 from NXP and it provides 3 endpoints ( excluding 1 control EP). But my device communicates at 4 endpoint addresses. So, is there a way that i can share a physical endpoint with two logical pipes so that when host requests data from device's two endpoints say 81 and 85 , but only available being 81 , request at 85 is also serviced by the 81 or 82 or 83( as only 3 are available)?
A multiplexed solution would ask on an end point: "any data".
And the MCU would check if it has data on ADC0 or ADC1 or ADC2 or ADC3. If any data is available, it would send back not only one or more measurements but also one or more bytes informing which channel the measurements was taken from.
So the result may be: C0: 0 samples C1: 0 samples C2: 2 samples (13.7, 15.2) C3: 1 sample (199.1)
The PC application then gets this data and demultiplex it. Nothing on 0. Nothing on 1. 13.7 and 15.2 on channel 2. 199.1 on channel 3.
It's only when a read would also perform some form of auto-acknowledge in your device that the multiplexing gets problematic - maybe you did not want to read out and acknowledge channel3. Multiplexing in a single endpoint will not allow you to leave the C3 sample in the device. This means that the PC must be able to consume data from all multiplexed channels since it can't just freeze a single channel for a while unless you send data in the other direction to your MCU to inform it that you want to pause C3 retrieval.
I get that now . Will be back to you for that kind of problem.
Thanks
