Alternative USB host driver USBHOSTF

Post by Henrik »

Hello!

Attached to this message is an experimental, faster version of the USB Host driver, called UsbHostF.dl3 (the letter 'F' stands for "Faster"). It has been developed to solve the specific problem of not being able to play 96 kHz 24-bit WAV and 96 kHz 16-bit FLAC files with the default driver.

Comments are welcome!

Kind regards,
- Henrik

Hello again!

The highly experimental, faster USB Host driver has reached version 1.01. While its absolute maximum read speed (849 KiB/s) slightly lower than that of version 1.00 (907 KiB/s), it uses much less CPU and buffers better. This makes it possible to play 96 kHz 24-bit Hi-Res FLAC files using this driver!

On the negative, this driver is larger than the baseline USBHOST.DL3 driver. Some of the difference might be optimized away with time, but for now it is what it is.

Comments are always welcome!

Kind regards,
- Henrik
