USB materials

Hi,

Can anyone give advice on which is the best (or at least good enough)
book on USB. The target audience: electronic engineer that has to gain
knowledge and experience in designing hardware and writing software for
embedded systems that use device port and host functionality.

Thank You in advance.

I've only read part of it, but Axelson's "USB Complete" seems pretty
well-written, ISBN13 978-1-931448-03-1, ISBN10 1-931448-03-5.

FYI both Netscape 4.7x and Thunderbird are smart enough not to
gratuitiously split long URLs.  T'bird is available for most
systems.

Just enclose the URL in angle brackets:

The material avaiable from http://usb.org worked for me.

Start with the USB 2.0 specification for the bus and protocols.

http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/usb_20_05122006.zip

Look at the OHCI, and EHCI documents for standard
host controller operation.

http://www.compaq.com/productinfo/development/openhci.html
http://www.intel.com/technology/usb/ehcispec.htm

And then you can look at the specifications for the
various standard types of devices (class) in which
you may be interested here:

*Plenty* of free-as-in-beer reading. Bring your caffeine :-)

Thank you much. I knew there was some sort of delimiter for this effect, 
but it wasn't firmly burned into the old noggin. Angle brackets. Angle 
brackets. Angle brackets. Now I'll remember it for about a week. ;-)
