HID Generic In/Out
A USB HID device that exchanges raw IN/OUT reports over a vendor-defined usage page, with no standard keyboard/mouse usage. It simply echoes back whatever the host sends.
What it does
- Presents one HID interface built from the generic in/out report descriptor template (vendor usage page), with both an IN and an OUT endpoint.
- Whenever the host sends data on the OUT endpoint (or via SET_REPORT), the device echoes the same bytes back to the host via
tud_hid_report. - The LED blinks to indicate USB state (250 ms not mounted, 1000 ms mounted, 2500 ms suspended).
- Because the reports carry no standard HID usage, the device is meant to be driven by a host-side tool rather than recognized as a keyboard/mouse. The example ships with
hid_test.js(node-hid) andhid_test.py(Pythonhid) scripts to send and receive data.

Building
CMake:
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DBOARD=raspberry_pi_pico ..
cmake --build .
Make:
make BOARD=raspberry_pi_pico all
Try it
After flashing, run the bundled host tool — node hid_test.js or python3 hid_test.py — to send a buffer to the device and observe the same data echoed back.
