What do you suggest? I found SAM D21 from Atmel. Any other manufacturer?
Low-cost low-pin count MCU with USB Host support

Less than 100? Less than 10? -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com I'm looking for work -- see my website!

NXP Kinetis have USB also from M0+, Check the KL series Bye Jack

NXP Kinetis have USB also from M0+, Check the KL series You are right, I missed Kinetis MCUs on NXP website. They seem cheaper than Atmel SAM D21 MCUs. Thank you for your suggestion.

Xmega is interesting too, and cheaper than SAM. 8 bit CPU, but rich and powerful peripherals. I've been using it recently and it's quite nice. By the way, just a quick warning: "Full speed" USB2.0 is not actually full speed but only 12Mbps. I got caught out by this at first. -- -Hello ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/

When the latter came along they called it high speed USB and kept the full speed description for 12Mbps USB. I remember comments at the time saying people would find it confusing.

But it is a name and names are not always descriptive. It would have been more confusing if they called 480 Mbps "full" speed. I suppose they could have given it some other name like "not quite full speed" or "a bit less than full speed". ;-) -- Rick C
