Bootstrap Yourself with Linux-USB Stack: Design, Develop, Debug, and Validate Embedded USB Systems  (English, Paperback, Rajaram Regupathy)

Learn to design, develop, and validate USB systems with ease, using this valuable resource that provides a detailed bootstrap session on the Linux-USB design and implementation. BOOTSTRAP YOURSELF WITH LINUX-USB STACK offers a tour of the Linux-USB stack, explaining how to develop drivers for USB device and host controllers on Linux. It moves on to explore the interfaces and data structures of a USB module with UML diagrams, concluding each chapter with a sample implementation that applies the information just covered. A comprehensive look at the various tools and methods available on Linux to validate a USB system is also provided. Using a straightforward writing style, this book is a powerful tool for anyone learning to develop a protocol stack with proper architecture and design, ultimately leading to better quality, maintainability, and testability.

Features

• Clarifies complex concepts with UML activity diagrams and sequence diagrams that present the Linux-USB subsystem framework visually.
• Enhances understanding of user-level programming of USB system and details with easy methods to validate and debug a USB system.
• Offers practical applications of the entire process with an appendix that provides an example driver of how to develop a simple USB device on Linux.
• Adds value with bonus CD-ROM containing all the sample programs discussed in the book, as well as an exclusive tool that can be used to perform regression tests of a USB system.
