1. USB Communication/Configuration Overview How does communication between a USB device and a PC work? How does a USB device initiate contact with a PC?

2. How does communication between a USB device and a PC work? Logical Communication Flow Endpoint 1 Endpoint 2 Endpoint N Endpoints Have 4 Transfer Types: Control Transfer – For sending commands Interrupt Transfer – Host must poll this EP Isochronous Transfer – Time sensitive Info Bulk Transfer – For large data bursts Buffer 1 Buffer 2 Buffer N Data is sent to memory buffers which will be processed by the software application Interface 1 Software Application Interfaces : grouping of the endpoints into a functional group performing a single feature of the device. For example: Keyboard,Mouse,Camera,Scanner,DVD drive Operating System
