QtUsb

GCC:
MSVC:

A Cross-platform USB Module for Qt built around libusb-1.0 and libhidapi
Can be used as a library, or included directly into the project

Features

• Bulk transfer
• Interrupt transfer
• Hotplug detection
• Device enumeration and filtering
• HID

Install library

Ubuntu (stable versions only)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fpoussin/ppa
sudo apt install libqt5usb5 libqt5usb5-dev

Windows
Check the releases page or appveyor build artifacts for binary archives

Build

Unix
You need libusb-1.0-0-dev, libhidapi-dev and pkg-config packages installed
If using system packages on Ubuntu, you'll need qt6-base-private-dev as well.

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make install

Alternatively build as static module (best for portability)

mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DQTUSB_AS_STATIC_MODULE=ON ..
make install

MSVC
You need the Windows SDKs to compile libusb
These are available from the Visual Studio Installer
The following script builds and deploys QtUsb into your Qt installation

build_msvc.bat 2017|2019 x64|x86 module|static QT_PATH
ie: build_msvc.bat 2017 x64 static C:\Qt\5.14.1\msvc2017_64

Qt Creator
The module can also be built normally within QT creator regardless of the platform.
All dependencies are built with cmake.

Using

Option 1: Using the module (static or dynamic)
You'll need to add the module to into CMakeLists.txt:

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Usb)

Include headers:

#include <QUsbDevice>
#include <QUsbEndpoint>

Option 2: Importing the code in your project
This will tie your app to a specific Qt version as it uses private headers
You need to add the QtUsb subdirectoty into CMakeLists.txt:

set(QTUSB_MODULE OFF CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
add_subdirectory(qtusb) # this assumes that QtUsb is cloned into ./qtusb
add_library(Qt::Usb ALIAS ExtUsb)

add_executable(my_program main.cpp)
# (omitting linking with Qt and other libraries)
target_link_libraries(my_program PUBLIC Qt::Usb)

Include headers:

#include <QUsbDevice>
#include <QUsbEndpoint>

Documentation

QCH files can be found with each release, they are also included in ubuntu packages.
You have to manually install them in Qt Creator on Windows.
