Pertaining to USB endpoints..

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This is with regards to the USB protocol with respect to Endpoints.
The general sequence of events followed would be

1)Host sends data packet that ends up in the EP1 OUT
2)Device then returns data that ends up in EP1 IN
3)Host sends a IN packet requesting the data at EP1 IN

The question relates to the 3rd step above, where does the IN packet
sent by the host
end up? Will it end up in EP1 OUT or EP1 IN? Since this is from the host
logically it should end up at EP1 OUT. Is this correct?

Hope some one can explain my doubt.
Thanks and Regards,
Nicholas


PS: This is with regards to the book "USB in a Nutshell", wrt Endpoints,
as is described on page 11.

My confusion stems from the lines "As the data is flowing out from the
host it will end up in the EP1 OUT". Later on in the paragraph there is
the line "... until such time when the host sends a IN packet to *that*
endpoint requesting data". Some how the two statements seem to
contradict themselves. By "that endpoint" does he mean EP1 IN?
