Automotive Information Engineering Bachelor of Engineering Bachelor Thesis Analysis of the USB-Stack to create and execute test cases USB-enabled devices and MTP Author: Alan Koschel August 31st, 2017 Advisors: Prof. Dr. Werner Kleinhempel Hochschule Konstanz Department of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology Albert Schaaf, M.Sc. Marquardt Verwaltungs GmbH TDS-SC – Software Design Alan Koschel: Analysis of the USB-Stack to create and execute test cases USB-enabled devices and MTP Bachelor Thesis, Hochschule Konstanz, 2017 Bachelor Thesis Statutory Declaration Statutory Declaration I declare that I have authored this thesis independently, that I have not used other than the declared sources / resources, and that I have explicitly marked all material which has been quoted either literally or by content from the used sources. Konstanz, August 31st, 2017 Alan Koschel Alan Koschel I Bachelor Thesis Preface Preface Section 1 will introduce the topic of the thesis and explain why it was necessary to deal with the issue. Section 2 will describe the objectives. Section 3 will mention the test and evaluation environment to demonstrate what kind of tools were used to execute the tasks and reach the objective. Section 4 deals with the concept of Windows drivers. It is explained why drivers are important and how device drivers will be allocated to devices by INF files. This is necessary and an integral part of the following sections. Section 5 clarifies the Universal Serial Bus, which is basically one of the main and largest topics of this thesis. It begins by explaining the basic builds and is followed by the operating principles. Therefore, the Universal Serial Bus communicates by means of specific packets, which will be transmitted through various transfer types. Each device starts with transmitting various descriptors to inform the host about itself. Due to, that the host controls the bus, the device only responds to the host's transmissions. At the end of this section, the enumeration will be illustrated, that comprise the process the host learns about the device. Section 6 gives an understanding of the Media Transfer Protocol that was running on a development board. First the main characteristics and some comparisons to similar methods will be mentioned, followed by the operating principles. These principles comprise basic operations on a device, in fact execute operations such as renaming, deleting and copying files. Section 7 is about the test environment that was set up to set a HMI device under test that provides the USB MTP responder stack. First of all, the concept of the testing will be described and followed by the arranged test environment. In case of USB and MTP, the specific test categories will be mentioned. Lastly, the test results of the HMI device were discussed and recommendations were made to run the failed tests successfully. Section 8 describes the outcome of this thesis and how subsequent works can expand on this thesis. Section 9 comprises a summary that resurvey the thesis. It gives an overview about the concrete task, how the separate tasks were carried out to achieve the outcome and a summary of the outcome itself.

HOWEVER: – USB’s master-slave protocol (relying on the power of the PC) may be too complex to implement on these portable devices - typically over-kill – A standard USB host will significantly cripple the battery life of a low-powered device – Connectors are also too large for the form factor of those devices The birth of USB OTG! • The USB OTG specification simply upgrades the current peripherals to feature limited host functions to interconnect a certain number of devices. • Example target end-equipment include (but is not limited to): – Digital Cameras – Portable Audio Player – Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) – Mega-Pixel Camera Phones – Smart Phones – Web-Tablets Alternatives to USB-OTG Bluetooth FireWire or IEEE 1394a • Strengths: • Given a face-lift to the digital video – Designed to connect consumer industry since its inception electronics • Strengths: – Established within the market – Solid isochronous

  • Files Transmission Using Media Transfer Protocol

    Files Transmission Using Media Transfer Protocol

    Files Transmission using Media Transfer Protocol Author: Conrad Chung, 2BrightSparks Introduction In this article we will describe what Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. The MTP protocol seeks to address concerns about the distribution of digital content in the consumer market as an increasing number of organizations create and distribute digital audio/video content. The aim of MTP is to deliver content via a secure, easy-to-use interface, and push it to a range of devices. What is Media Transfer Protocol? The Media Transfer Protocol, introduced by Microsoft, is a protocol designed for intelligent storage devices like smartphones and digital audio players. It is based on, and fully compatible with, the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). MTP allows the synchronization of files between portable devices and a personal computer (PC). A Brief History of MTP Standardized in 2000, PTP was originally developed to transfer images from a digital still camera to a PC. PTP is limited to transferring images and is an insufficient solution for media rich portable devices like smartphones and portable media players. Users required a method to transfer different file formats like media files, people contacts or video, which were not supported by PTP. Microsoft therefore introduced the MTP to address the shortcomings in PTP. Advantages of Media Transfer Protocol over USB Mass Storage Class Before the development of MTP, mobile phone manufacturers integrated USB Mass Storage Class (USB MSC) into their products to facilitate file transfers between PC and phones. However, since the standardization of MTP as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device class in 2008, manufacturers have slowly started moving towards implementing support for MTP in their devices.

    SONAR 2015 “Gloucester” Update Special Windows 10 Edition

    SONAR 2015 “Gloucester” Update special Windows 10 edition 1 | P a g e SONAR 2015 “Gloucester” Update Windows 10 is here, and SONAR is ready. In addition to including our usual bug fixes and enhancements, the big story this month is that you can use SONAR today with Windows 10—you don’t have to wait for “the next big update” (and until then, wonder if SONAR will work properly with the latest Windows operating system). The early reviews on Windows 10 are definitely positive, and it seems that Microsoft has taken feedback about Windows 8 to heart. Even more importantly, Microsoft is paying serious attention to audio capabilities. In this special issue of our monthly eZine, find out what’s up with Windows 10—and if you’re ready to upgrade your OS, SONAR is ready too. – Bill Jackson and the Cakewalk Team What Windows 10 Means to You: You’ve seen what the press says about Windows 10, surfed the tech web sites for comments, and maybe even downloaded the preview so you could test it out with various programs. In this article, Cakewalk Chief Technical Officer Noel Borthwick looks at what Windows 10 means for musicians, as well as some of the details about SONAR and Windows 10. SONAR Benchmarks: Does Windows 10 help or hurt performance? Are you better off waiting to upgrade just in case the performance isn’t quite there yet? Cakewalk’s Dean Capper hits the test bench to check out how SONAR performs under Windows 10 compared to Windows 8.1. What he found is perhaps a little surprising, but it’s certainly reassuring.
