# USB Host Library [](https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/usb) This directory contains an implementation of a USB Host Library [USB Host Library](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s2/api-reference/peripherals/usb_host.html). USB Host Library works underneath the USB Host Class drivers: - [CDC](../class/cdc/) Communication Device Class (ACM) - [HID](../class/hid/usb_host_hid/) Human Interface Device - [MSC](../class/msc/usb_host_msc/) Mass Storage Class - [UAC](../class/uac/usb_host_uac/) USB Audio Class - [UVC](../class/uvc/usb_host_uvc/) USB Video Class ## Usage To include this component in your project: 1. Add the USB Component to your project using the [Espressif Component Registry](https://components.espressif.com/): Using `idf.py` command: ```python idf.py add-dependency espressif/usb ``` Or modifying you `idf_component.yml` file: ```yaml ## IDF Component Manager Manifest File dependencies: ... espressif/usb: "*" ``` 2. Include the USB Host header file in your code: ```c #include "usb/usb_host.h" ``` 3. Initialize the USB Host stack: ```c usb_host_config_t host_config = {/* configuration */}; usb_host_install(&host_config); ``` 4. Use class drivers (CDC, HID, ets.) on top of the USB Host Library, to interact with USB devices ## Examples Refer to following examples, using USB Host library from esp-idf: - [CDC-ACM Host](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/peripherals/usb/host/cdc/cdc_acm_host) - [CDC-ACM VCP](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/peripherals/usb/host/cdc/cdc_acm_vcp) - [HID Host](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/peripherals/usb/host/hid) - [MSC Host](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/peripherals/usb/host/msc) - [USB Host Library](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/peripherals/usb/host/usb_host_lib) - [UVC Host](https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/master/examples/peripherals/usb/host/uvc) ## Supported targets - ESP32-S2 - ESP32-S3 - ESP32-P4
