There in an increasing number of scenes where a USB connection is established between non-PC devices. For example, when a USB memory or portable media player containing MP3 or other music data is plugged into an AV device or car audio to play back the music, or when data stored in a digital camera is displayed on a device such as a digital photo frame.

Ubiquitous USB Host is a USB class library group that has been optimized for embedded systems so that those systems can be connected with the USB devices widely used as standardized PC peripheral devices.

Ubiquitous USB Host is compatible with USB Mass Storage Class-compliant USB devices, which are already standard storage for media data, MTP-compatible devices, which are becoming standard among digital cameras, etc., and MTP-compliant devices with copyright protection functionality, and is a solution that makes it possible to achieve USB host functionality on AV devices or car audios with a small amount of hardware resources.

In order for embedded devices with a small amount of resources that are subject to severe cost constraints to support a USB host functionality, it is required that the footprint of the necessary software be very small and that the software operate compactly.

Ubiquitous USB Host is designed to operate very compactly and efficiently, as is the case with Ubiquitous Kernel, Ubiquitous Network Framework and our other products. Using Ubiquitous USB Host makes it possible to provide USB host functionality at low cost. In addition, installing Ubiquitous USB Host along with Ubiquitous Network Framework makes it possible to simultaneously achieve USB host functionality and network functionality.
