Targeted for Future Releases:

  • Code Features
    1. Add hub support when in Host mode for multiple devices
    2. Investigate virtual hubs when in device mode instead of composite devices
    3. Change makefiles to allow for absolute LUFA location to be used
    4. Re-add interrupt Pipe/Endpoint support
    5. Add makefile includes to reduce boilerplate in user makefiles
    6. Update stream APIs to use DMA transfers on supported architectures
    7. Pull out third party libraries into a separate folder and reference them as required
    8. Add a LUFA_YIELD macro for integration into a third-party RTOS
    9. Abstract out Mass Storage byte send/receive to prevent low level API use in projects
    10. Consider switch from endpoint numbers to full endpoint addresses to ease future architecture expansion
    11. Fix HID report parser usage support for array types
    12. Add additional standard request helper functions to host mode
    13. Add Dataflash_SendCommand()
    14. Make HOST_DEVICE_SETTLE_DELAY_MS a global variable that can be changed
    15. Add MANDATORY_EVENT_FUNCTIONS compile time option
    16. Add watchdog support to the library and apps/bootloaders
    17. Re-run USBIF test suite on all classes to formally verify operation

    1. Add detailed overviews of how each demo works
    2. Add board overviews
    3. Write LUFA tutorials
  • Demos/Projects
    1. Device/Host USB bridge
    2. Finish incomplete demos and projects
    3. Add class driver support for Test and Measurement class
    4. Add class driver support for EEM class
    5. Add class driver support for ECM class
  • Ports
    1. Complete AVR32 port for existing devices, add UC3C support
    2. Atmel ARM7 series microcontrollers
    3. Other (commercial) C compilers
