Continuing Education is an important member service, helping IEEE members 
sharpen their skills, maintain their professional credentials, and improve 
their marketability. If you would like to request or are qualified to instruct 
a specific program or topic, please contact Wally Lee, Washington Section 
Continuing Education Chair, at w.h.lee at ieee.org. Find information about this 
course or register at: http://www.tadatraining.com/usb
 
Details: Join us for a three-day hands-on workshop on learning the Universal 
Serial Bus and applying USB communications in embedded systems. This workshop 
is targeted for the embedded systems engineer (hardware and/or software) and 
managers. The class will feature the newly-released Freescale Flexis JM-series 
8- and 32-bit pin-compatible USB microcontrollers and includes a DEMOJM 
development system with both processors.
 
Level: Intermediate / Advanced 
 
Prerequisites: knowledge of embedded systems concepts and development, 
including rudimentary C language coding. 
 
Participants may bring their own laptops but will be using class computers 
for the workshop.  There will be a considerable amount of development 
software installed on the computers (all are provided on CD for the student 
to take with them). 
 
Topics to be covered: 
USB Specification: 
                Devices, Hosts, and On-the-go 
Versions 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0 differences 
Speeds 
Connectors 
USB Communications: 
Enumeration 
Frames 
Packets 
Transactions 
Principles of USB Device Design 
Introduction to the CodeWarrior development environment 
Hands-on examples: Human Interface Device, Communications Device Class 
Talking to Your Application - Use of Visual C++ and Visual Basic to write 
drivers, APIs and a GUI application to interface to a USB device (includes 
brief VB tutorial) 
Considerations for Mass Storage devices 
Hands-on example: talking to a USB keyboard 
Principles of USB Host Design 
Hands-on example: reading a USB memory "stick" 
USB On-the-go: putting it all together 
Making it Legal: Registering and Testing considerations 
 
Cost: $1295 for IEEE members; $1595 for non-members 
Registration includes three days of instruction; development hardware used 
in the class; CD with presentation, reference material, development 
software, and in-class use of class computers.
