  • Protocol on top of USB HID

    I would love to see the kind of HID solution that you describe paired with a proper strongly typed message format like eRPC. In previous searches for similar messaging, I have also found things like EmbeddedProto and nanopd. I never got to dive into the details on any of these, though.
  • Does anyone have a protocol for the communication between microcontroller and PC?

    I've seen people mention Messagepack, Asn.1 and Nanopb, which are data serialization libraries. Since in your example you mention that your protocol is like {START_COMMAND} {MODE_BYTE} {MODE_LENGTH} {MODE_DATA} I suppose that what you want is not only to transmit data, but also commands. I believe that RPC (Remote Procedure Call) is what you're looking for. Unfortunately I haven't found any really mature and well-known RPC frameworks for embedded. There is eRPC, but it is not so actively maintained. The RPC module from Pigweed, a embedded toolkit from Google, looks promising but IMHO it's a work in progress (especially the documentation is quite lacking).

What are some alternatives?

When comparing protobuf and erpc you can also consider the following projects:

eRPC - Efficient RPCs for datacenter networks

ice - All-in-one solution for creating networked applications with RPC, pub/sub, server deployment, and more.

protox - A fast, easy to use and 100% conformant Elixir library for Google Protocol Buffers (aka protobuf)

areg-sdk - AREG is an asynchronous Object RPC framework to simplify multitasking programming by blurring borders between processes and treating remote objects as if they coexist in the same thread.

buf - The best way of working with Protocol Buffers.

FlatBuffers - FlatBuffers: Memory Efficient Serialization Library

nanopb-example - This is a simple project created to test the capabilities of Google's protobuf C implementation, nanopb.

bomba - C++ library for convenient implementation of RPC and serialisation

protobuf - A pure Elixir implementation of Google Protobuf.

bakelite - Bakelite is a utility that makes it simple to communicate with your firmware.

buf-examples - Example repository that uses Buf.

api-common-protos - A standard library for use in specifying protocol buffer APIs.
