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.

This book gave an excellent start to my project with its detailed information on how to debug and analyze USB drivers on Linux environment. The book covered everything required with block diagrams and sequence charts and provided a very good insight to USB drivers on Linux. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Linux USB development.
This book will be helpful if you are developing Linux drivers for USB host controller hardware (including for embedded systems), writing a Linux driver for a device that doesn't fit a standard USB class, or programming a Linux embedded system that will function as a USB device.The focus is on low-level drivers. The USB protocols at this level are complex. The tasks include device detecting, managing virtual file systems, hub communications, and power management. This book will help you understand the protoc..
If you hope to be able to hack on the Linux USB stack after reading this book, you will probably be disappointed. For a start, the information is scarce and only covers the obvious, and you will not learn much more than by reading the contents of Documentation/usb in the kernel source tree and parsing the main header source files. Second, the book is poorly written, which makes it very confusing, and contains quite a lot of unforgivable mistakes. What, when the author (who pretends to have 10 years experien..
