The Delphi Development

Libusb 1.0 is open source C library that provides generic communication to USB devices and is widely used on Windows, OSX and Linux Platforms’. Libusb 1.0 supports USB 3.1 and is backwards compatible with USB 2.0 and USB 1.0 and it currently supports a Windows only Platform.

It features the following:-

• Supports all transfer types such as (control / bulk / interrupt / isochronous),

• Supports two transfer interfaces.

  • Synchronous(simple).

  • Asynchronous(more complicated but more powerful).

• Thread safe.

• Lightweight with a lean API.

• Supports hotplug capability.

Please note that the Hotplug capability is not available for Windows. The C++ Libusb creators are planning to include this feature on the next update.

This is a Full Delphi header translation of the Libusb.h file available for both VCL and FMX Windows 32bit and 64bit only.

This supports the DLL Version 1.0.17 and up.

Documentation - Wiki

A comprehensive Wiki has been set up to cover all aspects of the Delphi Libusb library. Feel free to visit the library for further information.

Checkout the Wiki https://github.com/Greg-Bayes/Delphi-libusb/wiki

Testing on your IDE

Examples are created in both FMX and VCL for your usage ( created on Tokyo 10.2.3) and should be backwards compatible to Unicode versions in VCL and early FMX versions.

Current Examples :-

• DLL Version

• Test LibUSB

• ListDevs

• Bulk Transfer

• FXLoad

The following examples are in development and will be added one by one after testing

• Asynchronous Transfer

• Hotplug Test on hold

• xUSB

• Bulk Transfer Arduino

As this is an Open Source project, I would be happy to share any example contributions.

Using LibUSB in your Application

Open a new application in your IDE. Add the libusb1 to the project and add the libusb1 library to the users list. Add the correct DLL to the application EXE folder. Normally in the folder structure Win32/Debug/libusb/libusb-1.0.dll or Win64/Debug/libusb/libusb-1.0.dll. Place the correct DLL in the correct folder as they are not interchangeable. The 32bit DLL shares the same name as the 64bit DLL.
