USB materials

Hi,



Can anyone give advice on which is the best (or at least good enough) book on USB. The target audience: electronic engineer that has to gain knowledge and experience in designing hardware and writing software for embedded systems that use device port and host functionality.



Thank You in advance.



I've only read part of it, but Axelson's "USB Complete" seems pretty well-written, ISBN13 978-1-931448-03-1, ISBN10 1-931448-03-5.

There are two very good books located here: (sorry if this splits)

FYI both Netscape 4.7x and Thunderbird are smart enough not to gratuitiously split long URLs. T'bird is available for most systems.

Thank you much. I knew there was some sort of delimiter for this effect, but it wasn't firmly burned into the old noggin. Angle brackets. Angle brackets. Angle brackets. Now I'll remember it for about a week. ;-)
