Unlike a PCI card, a USB periph does not have access to host memory. All of the real magic seems to happen in places like usbd_setup_xfer(), which again is a function of the stack, not the periph driver. These drivers don't belong on this list at all, and I'd argue that no USB periph drivers do. Scotthome | help
