USB Complete - Third Edition
Review written by: Rudolph L. Allison From Chicago
Anyone who is new to USB interface and products should read this book first. I bought an USB evaluation board to get an understanding of USB.
When it would not interface with our product the way I thought, I was very disappointed. After reading this book, I realized there are major differences with the USB microprocessors. I then was able to purchase AN USB evaluation board with an appropriate microprocessor that would interface with our equipment.

Great starting point

This book is highly recommended considering it's depth and range of content. It offers lots of practical information and is easy to read. The website that supports this book is also very helpful. If you are interested in USB, this is the first book to read.

Buy this book first if your interested in USB
Review written by: D. LaBrecque From Sparks, NV USA
This is very good introductory book on USB for embedded devices. It provides a good overview including a brief comparison of USB with other devices. Admittedly the term complete is a bit of an overstatement; if your going to program own Window's drivers you're going to need a lot more information than is provided here. However, for small-run embedded developers and hobbyist this book is ideal. It is up-to-date and provides a the information you need to consider before jumping into USB development. One of the other reviewers complained that this book spends a lot of time on third-party products. However, for those of us that are grudgingly porting hardware from RS232 to USB this very helpful and very important. Yes all of this information is on the web; but much of it is misleading. For example; a lot of people start with and HID (human interface device) as it does not require a special Windows driver. The online documentation for our developement system gave the data transfer rate as 1.5Mega baud. However, reading this book you find that your likely only to get a fraction of this speed and the guaranteed transfer rate is only 800 bytes per second which is positively glacial.

The USB interface is very complex. One of the major issues is that anything you develop will likely require drivers for both the PC and the device. In choosing a vendor is probably more dependent on the quality of the drivers and the quality of the documentation of the drivers than on the hardware itself.

A little scattered, but much LESS THAN THE USB SPEC

This is probably a harware designer's book. If you ever plan on designing or undestanding USB hardware, this is definitely (no matter what cost), the book for you. Jan Axelson has written for many EE mags, and knows what she is talking about. The book may be getting dated, as a few of the chips she descibes are obsolete, but who cares - the data is relevant. Very well done, and very readable.
