Add USB CDC/device support for CH32V407 and CH32V467 boards using the community Arduino core. Their USBHS1 controller is not register-compatible with the existing CH32V307 driver. This brings in the controller implementation used by the Metro TinyUF2 port, initializes its 25 MHz HSE-derived USB PLL, and adds a weak board hook for bootloader entry.

The custom DCD lives under the Arduino CH32 port, leaving vendored TinyUSB unchanged while upstream MCU/controller support is pending. The eight-byte UID formatting matches TinyUF2 so the same board retains its USB serial identity. The board/core dependency is the Metro support branch.

Validation:

  • 21 register-model regression cases exercise the actual DCD with WCH SDK bit definitions: overlapping SETUP/data/status completions, pending IN/OUT completions during clear-halt, short and zero-length packets, duplicate OUT packets, interrupt-state preservation, and callback resubmission. Both regression groups fail with the previous driver and pass with this implementation.
  • Latest physical CH32V467 check: 238,906,946 byte-exact CDC echo bytes in three minutes, 6,279 port openings, 31,395 line-coding changes, and three TinyUF2 reload/reconnect cycles. The full Metro hardware tester is restored and responding.
  • Physical Metro CH32V467: ten rounds of byte-exact CDC echo at 1, 63, 64, 65, 511, 512, 513, 4096 and 16384 bytes; 1200-baud bootloader entry, UF2 reload, and USB reconnect after physical RESET.
  • A later mixed USB/Ethernet/PSRAM/SD/ADC/interrupt run verified 3,016,798,208 USB bytes with no mismatch over 49.59 minutes. A missed UDP diagnostic reply stopped the host test before its one-hour target; the board remained running and passed another USB echo afterward.
  • Metro CH32V407 and CH32V467 builds pass with the community core's packaged WCH GCC 8.2.0. Existing CH32V307 USBHS blink/CDC build also passes.
  • Repository clang-format v15 and codespell hooks pass.
  • The required build-contract invocation is blocked on Windows by ModuleNotFoundError: fcntl. Full pre-commit was attempted; its agent-contract tests report 14 failures and 10 errors, including POSIX imports and CRLF fixture expectations. These are not reported as passing checks.

Physical CH32V407 validation and formal HIL coverage remain pending. The bench results above are manual hardware validation; no formal HIL report or USB compliance result is claimed. An experimental forced full-speed build did not return CDC data and its driver changes were reverted; full-speed fallback remains unvalidated.

Walkthrough

The CH32 Arduino port now recognizes CH32V4x7, configures its USBHS clock, forwards USBHS1 interrupts to TinyUSB, and calls an optional weak bootloader-entry hook when entering DFU.

Changes: CH32V4x7 USBHS port support

Layer / File(s) Summary
CH32V4x7 MCU selection
src/arduino/ports/ch32/tusb_config_ch32.h
When CH32V4x7 is defined, the TinyUSB configuration selects OPT_MCU_CH32V4X7.
USBHS initialization and port hooks
src/arduino/ports/ch32/Adafruit_TinyUSB_ch32.cpp
Adds USBHS1 interrupt forwarding and configures the USBHS PLL if it is not ready. Initialization requires a 25 MHz HSE_VALUE and returns after logging an error if the PLL does not lock within the polling limit. The DFU entry path calls the weak bootloader hook when it is defined.

Explanation

The title names the main change: adding USBHS device support for CH32V407/CH32V467 boards. The changeset adds the USBHS1 IRQ handler, PLL bring-up, weak bootloader hook, and CH32V4x7 config macro, which all serve that goal. The title is specific and concise, and the PR objectives describe the same change. Note that the objectives say the custom DCD was removed in favor of vendored TinyUSB support, so the title still fits the remaining change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states that it adds USB CDC/device support for CH32V407 and CH32V467 boards. It describes the USBHS1 controller, the 25 MHz HSE-derived USB PLL, the weak bootloader-entry hook, the UID formatting, and the validation results. These details match the changeset and the PR objectives, so the description is clearly related to the change.

test/dcd/ch32v4x7/test_dcd.cpp: 1

90-90: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Move the driver calls out of assert() so the tests still run under NDEBUG.

reset_model() calls dcd_init() inside assert() at Line 90. open_bulk() calls dcd_edpt_open() and dcd_edpt_xfer() inside assert() at Lines 144-145. If anyone builds this test with -DNDEBUG, the compiler removes these calls. The driver is then never initialized and no endpoint is opened or armed. All later checks are also removed, so the test exits with a PASS message and verifies nothing.

Call the functions first, then assert on the stored result.

-  assert(dcd_init(0, nullptr));

Use the CH32V4x7 controller driver from the Metro TinyUF2 port, initialize its USBHS1 PLL, expose the board bootloader hook, and preserve its eight-byte UID format. Keep the custom controller driver outside vendored TinyUSB until it is accepted upstream.

Co-authored-by: Limor Fried <ladyada@users.noreply.github.com>
Preserve only a completed status-IN packet when SETUP overlaps an old EP0
completion. A completed data chunk (including a terminating ZLP) must not
continue the abandoned request or consume the new request's DATA1 toggle.

Mask the USB interrupt and stop the affected endpoint during clear-halt.
Account for pending IN/OUT completions before resetting DATA0, retain any
unacknowledged packet, and rearm once. Report completion after settling the
endpoint so an immediate callback can safely submit another transfer.

Add 21 register-model regression cases using the actual driver and SDK bit
definitions. Both regression groups fail against the previous driver and
pass with the fix. Both Metro builds pass. Physical CH32V467 passes 238906946
exact USB echo bytes, 6279 port openings, 31395 line-coding changes and three
TinyUF2 reloads; the full hardware tester is restored afterward.

clang-format and codespell pass. The existing Windows build-contract fcntl
failure and agent-contract test failures remain; no formal HIL or USB
compliance result is claimed.

Co-authored-by: Limor Fried <ladyada@users.noreply.github.com>
Move driver initialization and transfer calls out of assertions. Keep assertions enabled in the standalone test even with NDEBUG, so release build flags cannot silently disable its checks. Add function documentation for the CH32 port, transfer helpers and regression scenarios.

All 21 cases pass normally and with -DNDEBUG. The NDEBUG build still rejects both regression groups with the old driver. Doxygen 1.8.13 with the repository configuration, clang-format and codespell pass. Production code is unchanged apart from comments.

Co-authored-by: Limor Fried <ladyada@users.noreply.github.com>
TinyUSB now supports CH32V4x7 through OPT_MCU_CH32V4X7 and portable/wch/wch_hs2, so drop the port's own DCD, register header and its register-model tests.
Turning USBHSPLL off on a second TinyUSB_Port_InitDevice() stops the PHY clock under a running controller. TinyUF2 copies the 8 UID bytes in memory order (ports/ch32v4x7/boards.c), so reversing each word gave the sketch a different serial from its bootloader.
Reuse the 32-bit UID word copy for the 8-byte serial, drop the added doxygen blocks, and keep the file guard as on master: the core always defines ARDUINO_ARCH_CH32.
The unique ID is 96 bits (CH32V407RM 31.1); 8 bytes dropped UNIID3, which WCH's uniqueness guarantee covers. TinyUF2's ch32v4x7 port moves to 12 bytes too, so bootloader and sketch keep one serial.

Reworked onto master, which now vendors TinyUSB with the CH32V4x7 HS2 device driver (#621, hathach/tinyusb#4483):

  • tusb_config_ch32.h maps CH32V4x7 to OPT_MCU_CH32V4X7, so src/portable/wch/wch_hs2 drives USBHS1. The port's own dcd_ch32v4x7.c, ch32v4x7_usbhs_reg.h and test/dcd/ch32v4x7/ are removed.
  • TinyUSB_Port_InitDevice() reconfigures USBHSPLL only when it is not locked, as tinyusb's hw/bsp/ch32v4x7/family.c does, so a second init does not stop the PHY clock under a running controller.
  • The serial is the full 96-bit UID (12 bytes, CH32V407RM §31.1), the shared CH32 path. TinyUF2 moves to 12 bytes to match in ch32v4x7: report the full 96-bit UID as the USB serial tinyuf2#650, before #639 ships in a release.
  • The IRQ forwarder, the weak ch32TinyUSBEnterBootloader() hook and the clock bring-up are kept.

Builds: serial_echo, cdc_multi, msc_ramdisk and hid_composite for Metro CH32V467 and V407 against add-metro-ch32v4x7 of the core. Not run on hardware yet; a run on a Metro with this branch would be welcome.

Report the PLL lock failure.

If the USBHSPLL does not lock within the polling limit, the function returns silently. TinyUSB is then never initialized and USB never works. The user gets no diagnostic. Add a debug log before the return, or an error indication, so the failure is visible.
