I give this book a solid "thumbs up" for engineers and product designers who must implement an embedded system and have it operate as a USB host. If a USB-host device figures into your design or programming future, you'll like this book. Also I highly recommend the author's earlier book, USB Complete.... The two books make an excellent reference set in my library. - Jon Titus.

USB cameras, speakers, mics, network bridges, virtual serial ports, Bluetooth adapters, and more can be available to the embedded systems you create. This book will show you how. More,,,
