Co-authored by the best-selling author of RS-232 Made Easy, this book is written in layman's terms for every interested computer user-and it's comprehensive enough to serve the needs of hardware and software developers. You'll find thorough coverage of: Setting up USB hardware and interfacing peripherals. USB protocols and data flow: what actually happens “on the wire.” A close look inside USB hubs, bus interconnects, devices, and hosts. Troubleshooting USB: Analyzing bus traffic and device configuration. USB support in Windows and other operating systems. Universal Serial Bus Explained shows how the USB standard delivers easy peripheral expansion, fast data transfer, guaranteed bandwidth for multimedia, low cost, true “plug-and-play” support, and a whole lot more. It answers today's most frequently asked questions about USB and the new generation of devices that utilize it. Detailed appendices provide more information about the USB specification; Internet-based resources, periodicals and technical conferences; and an extensive source list for USB devices and software. Whether you want to use USB devices or invent them, this is the only USB book you'll ever need.

Have you ever wondered how to use the USB hardware to send and receive data from an attached device? Wondered how to detect and initialize the controller, retrieve the device's descriptors, configure the device, and then communicate with it to send or retrieve its data? This book explains the ins and outs of the four major controllers, starting with the UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and then the new Super Speed xHCI Controller. It explains in detail how to communicate with the various devices such as HID mice and keyboards, mass storage devices, including UASP devices, printers, and other USB devices. If you are interested in working with bare hardware to communicate with the USB, with no operating system to get in the way, you don't need to look any further. This book does not need to be on the shelf every USB enthusiast, it needs to be right on the desk. Third Edition -- 20180420

Developers who want to access USB devices from their embedded systems will find a helpful resource in USB Embedded Hosts: The Developer’s Guide. This new book from the author of USB Complete shows how small systems can take advantage of the same wealth of USB devices available to conventional PCs. The book begins with a review of USB host communication protocols. Readers then learn which USB host requirements are relaxed for embedded systems and what new requirements some embedded systems must meet. To help in selecting a development platform, the book explores available hardware and software for USB host communications in small systems. The heart of the book focuses on communicating with USB devices. The topics (with example code) include USB drives, keyboards, virtual serial ports, network bridges, mics, speakers, video cameras, and printers, plus devices that don’t fit defined USB classes. Also discussed are systems that support both USB host and device functions. The example code is written for the BeagleBoard-xM open development board using a distribution of Linux targeted to small systems. Also covered is how to use Linux commands and utilities to learn about, monitor, and debug communications with USB devices.
