I have a LPC2478 board (http://www.embeddedartists.com/products/kits/ lpc2478_kit.php) which comes with a USB OTG port. I will run linux on this board and connect this to PC which runs windowsXP via USB OTG port. I wanted to know if there is any quick way of making this USB communication possible without writing a USB driver from scratch. Some ready made USB API or some software like that which can reduce my development time. Regards ashu

I dont want to write a driver from scratch since that will take more time.

If you want a standard serial type communication then you can look at something like a CDC class driver. You can find a little information on this here: http://www.freertos.org/LPC1768_CrossWorks.html look under the "Functionality" section (it is for a different processor, but it may be compatible as it is also an LPC device). Also take a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lpcusb/ -- Regards, Richard. + http://www.FreeRTOS.org Designed for Microcontrollers.

Most embedded linux/uClinux devices with device-side USB "gadget", or else something along similar lines.
