These minimal code samples shows the inner workings of the USB controller, without all the + * abstraction present in most other USB AVR stacks. + * + * \section Sec_SoftwareStacks Software AVR Stacks + * These are the known alternative USB stacks which can run on regular AVR models, lacking dedicated hardware USB controllers + * via a bit-banged (emulated) version of the USB protocol. They are limited in their capabilities due to the cycles required + * to be dedicated to managing the USB bus, but offer a cheap way to implement USB functionality into a design. + * + * - Name: AVR309: Software USB (Atmel) \n + * Cost: Free \n + * License: None Stated \n + * Website: http://www.atmel.com/dyn/Products/app_notes.asp?family_id=607 \n + * Description: Atmel's official software USB implementation, an Application Note containing work by Igor Cesko. This + * is a minimal assembly-only implementation of software USB, providing HID functionality.

Uses C language code mixed with assembly for time-critical sections. + */ + -- cgit v1.2.3
