Devices, Hosts, and On-the-go

Versions 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0 differences

Speeds

Connectors
 

USB Communications:

Enumeration

Frames

Packets

Principles of USB Device Design

Hands-on example: Human Interface Device

Considerations for Mass Storage devices

Hands-on example: USB memory “stick”

Principles of USB Host Design

Hands-on example: reading a USB memory “stick”

USB On-the-go: putting it all together

Modules and custom chips: Build vs. Buy

Cost:  $649 member, $749 non-member, good until Oct 26.  Late reg is $699 member, $799 non-member until reg ends on November 5.  “Due to the development hardware being supplied, a limited number of on-site registrations will be available.  Please register by November 5 to guarantee your space.”

Registration includes two days of instruction; development hardware used in the class; CD with presentation, reference material, development software, lunch and coffee breaks.
