USB Mass Storage: Designing and Programming Devices and Embedded Hosts - Softcover

"Jan Axelson knows better than almost anybody else how to write clearly and how to explain complex technical issues." --EDN

"If a design employs a USB mass-storage device connection, you will need this book. I recommend it highly." --ECN magazine

This developer’s guide for designers and programmers of mass-storage devices that use the Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface provides developers with information on how to choose storage media, interface the media to a microcontroller or other CPU, and write device firmware to access the media and perform USB communications. Comparisons of popular storage-media options to help users choose a media type for a project are included, and the types described cover hard drives and flash-memory cards such as the MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure Digital (SD) card, and CompactFlash card. Helpful tips on developing an embedded host that can access USB mass-storage devices are also covered.
