CP2110/4 HID- T O -UART API S P E C I F I C A T I O N
1. Introduction
The Silicon Labs HID-to-UART interface library provides a simple API to configure and operate CP2110 and
CP2114 devices. The library provides interface abstraction so that users can develop their application without
writing any USB HID code. C libraries implementing the CP2110 and CP2114 Interface Specification are provided
for Windows 2000 and later, Mac OS X 10.5 and later, and Linux. Similarly, various include files are provided to
import library functions into C#.NET and Visual Basic.NET. Refer to Table 1 for complete details.

Be careful when opening a device. Any HID device may be opened by this library. However, if the
device is not actually a CP211x, use of this library will cause undesirable results. The best course
of action would be to designate a unique VID/PID for CP211x devices only. The application should
then filter devices using this VID/PID.

2.13. HidUart_Read
Description:
Reads the available number of bytes into the supplied buffer and returns the number of bytes read
which can be less than the number of bytes requested. This function returns synchronously after
reading the requested number of bytes or after the timeout duration has elapsed. Read and write
timeouts can be set using HidUart_SetTimeouts() described in "2.17. HidUart_SetTimeouts" on
page 13.
Prototype:
HID_UART_STATUS HidUart_Read (HID_UART_DEVICE device, BYTE* buffer,
DWORD numBytesToRead, DWORD* numBytesRead)
Parameters:
1. device—Device object pointer as returned by HidUart_Open().
2. buffer—Address of a buffer to be filled with read data.
3. numBytesToRead—Number of bytes to read from the device into the buffer (1–32768). This
value must be less than or equal to the size of buffer.

AN433
2.14. HidUart_Write
Description:
Write the specified number of bytes from the supplied buffer to the device. This function returns
synchronously after writing the requested number of bytes or after the timeout duration has
elapsed. Read and write timeouts can be set using HidUart_SetTimeouts() described in "2.17.
HidUart_SetTimeouts" on page 13.
Prototype:
HID_UART_STATUS HidUart_Write (HID_UART_DEVICE device, BYTE* buffer,
DWORD numBytesToWrite, DWORD* numBytesWritten)
Parameters:
1. device—Device object pointer as returned by HidUart_Open().
2. buffer—Address of a buffer to be sent to the device.
3. numBytesToWrite—Number of bytes to write to the device (1–4096 bytes). This value must be
less than or equal to the size of buffer.
4. numBytesWritten—Returns the number of bytes actually written to the device.
Return Value: HID_UART_STATUS
Remarks:

=
HID_UART_SUCCESS
HID_UART_WRITE_ERROR
HID_UART_INVALID_PARAMETER
HID_UART_INVALID_DEVICE_OBJECT
HID_UART_WRITE_TIMED_OUT
HID_UART_INVALID_REQUEST_LENGTH
HidUart_Write() returns HID_UART_WRITE_TIMED_OUT if the number of bytes written is less
than the number of bytes requested. Data is broken down into HID interrupt reports between
1 – 63 bytes in size and transmitted. Each report will be given a specific amount of time to
complete. This report timeout is determined by writeTimeout in HidUart_SetTimeouts(). Each
interrupt report is given the max timeout to complete because a timeout at the interrupt report level
is considered an unrecoverable error (the IO is canceled in an unknown state). If the HID set
interrupt report times out, HidUart_Write() returns HID_UART_WRITE_ERROR. The
HidUart_Write() timeout may take up to twice as long as the timeout specified to allow each
interrupt report to complete.

might not take immediate effect, device re-enumeration may be required.
Dynamic switch on different clock sources is not supported using CP2114_SetRamConfig. If clock
settings differ from those at boot up, the new configuration should be written to OTP and
configured as the new boot index. Then power cycle the device to verify the new settings.

7. HID_UART_STATUS Return Codes
Each library function returns an HID_UART_STATUS return code to indicate that the function returned successfully
or to describe an error. The table below describes each error code.
Definition
Value
Description
HID_UART_SUCCESS
0x00
Function returned successfully.*
HID_UART_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND
0x01
Indicates that no devices are connected or that
the specified device does not exist.
HID_UART_INVALID_HANDLE
0x02
Indicates that the handle value is NULL or
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE or that the device with
the specified handle does not exist.
HID_UART_INVALID_DEVICE_OBJECT
0x03
Indicates that the device object pointer does not
match the address of a valid HID-to-UART device.
HID_UART_INVALID_PARAMETER
0x04
Indicates that a pointer value is NULL or that an
invalid setting was specified.
HID_UART_INVALID_REQUEST_LENGTH
0x05
Indicates that the specified number of bytes to
read or write is invalid. Check the read and write
length limits.
HID_UART_READ_ERROR
0x10
Indicates that the read was not successful and did
not time out. This means that the host could not
get an input interrupt report.
HID_UART_WRITE_ERROR
0x11
Indicates that the write was not successful. This
means that the output interrupt report failed or
timed out.
HID_UART_READ_TIMED_OUT
0x12
Indicates that a read failed to return the number of
bytes requested before the read timeout elapsed.
Try increasing the read timeout.
HID_UART_WRITE_TIMED_OUT
0x13
Indicates that a write failed to complete sending
the number of bytes requested before the write
timeout elapsed. Try increasing the write timeout
(should be greater than 0 ms).
HID_UART_DEVICE_IO_FAILED
0x14
Indicates that host was unable to get or set a
feature report. The device could have been disconnected.
HID_UART_DEVICE_ACCESS_ERROR
0x15
Indicates that the device or device property could
not be accessed. Either the device is not opened,
already opened when trying to open, or an error
occurred when trying to get HID information.
HID_UART_DEVICE_NOT_SUPPORTED
0x16
Indicates that the current device does not support
the corresponding action. Functions listed in this
document are for the CP2110/4 only.
HID_UART_UNKNOWN_ERROR
0xFF
This is the default return code value. This value
should never be returned.
*Note: Set functions may return success, indicating that the device received the request; however, there is no
indication that the device actually performed the request (i.e., the setting was invalid). The user must call
the corresponding get function to verify that the settings were properly configured.

8. Thread Safety
The HID-to-UART library and associated functions are not thread-safe. This means that calling library functions
simultaneously from multiple threads may have undesirable effects.
To use the library functions in more than one thread, the user should do the following:
1. Call library functions from within a critical section such that only a single function is being called at any given
time. If a function is being called in one thread, then the user must prevent another thread from calling any
function until the first function returns.
2. HidUART_Read() issues a pending read request that cannot be canceled from another thread. If the user calls
HidUART_Close() in a different thread than the thread in which the read request was created, then the device
will not be accessible after calling HidUart_Close(). The thread that issued the pending read request must
return/terminate successfully before the device can be accessed again. See Section "9. Thread Read Access
Models (For Windows)" on page 50 for more information.

9. Thread Read Access Models (For Windows)
There are several common read access models when using the HID-to-UART library. There are some restrictions
on the valid use of a device handle based on these models. CancelIo() can only cancel pending I/O (reads/writes)
issued in the same thread in which CancelIo() is called. Due to this limitation, the user is responsible for cancelling
pending I/O before closing the device. Failure to do so will result in an inaccessible HID-to-UART device until the
thread releases access to the device handle.
The following tables describe five common access models and the expected behavior:
Note: HidUart_Close() calls CancelIo() prior to calling CloseHandle().
Note: HidUart_Read() issues a pending read request. The request completes if at least one input report is read. The request is
still pending if the operation times out.
Note: HidUart_CancelIo() forces any pending requests issued by the same thread to complete (cancelled).
*
?
Indicates that a read is still pending and was issued in the specified thread.
Indicates that a read is still pending and was issued in one of the threads (indeterminate).

10. Surprise Removal (For Windows)
HidUart_GetHidGuid() returns the HID GUID so that Windows applications or services can register for the
WM_DEVICECHANGE Windows message. Once registered, the application will receive device arrival and
removal notices for HID devices. The application must retrieve the device path to filter devices based on VID/PD.
Similarly, if a DBT_DEVICEREMOVECOMPLETE message is received, then the application must check to see if
the device path matches the device path of any connected devices. If this is the case, then the device was
removed and the application must close the device. Also if a DBT_DEVICEARRIVAL message is received, then
the application might add the new device to a device list so that users can select any HID device matching the
required VID/PID.
See accompanying example code for information on how to implement surprise removal and device arrival. Search
