ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for providing a programming interface to a Universal Serial Bus Device. The programming interface is partitioned so that an external controller does not handle intermediate transfers such as packet retry, handshake packets or intermediate response to error conditions. The programming model consists of a number of endpoint pipes, each of which can be configured to provide one of several functions.
