iPod Class Driver (USBware Components)

iPod Class Driver
» A part of USBware: Embedded USB Software solution
In the last decade the Apple iPod has revolutionized the MP3 player device market. In order to accommodate the growing popularity of the iPod product lines, manufacturers have sought to incorporate iPod device compatibility in a wider array of consumer and media devices.

Jungo's USBware embedded software solutions provides device manufacturers with an ideal and complete software stack which includes the Jungo's USB driver for the iPod. This enables manufacturers to embed drivers for the iPod within their products to provide full functionality and communication with the Apple iPod and iPhone devices.


Background

By embedding USBware's software stack manufacturers can include support for all Apple iPod and iPhone devices within their products. USBware's embedded iPod class drivers are based on Jungo's proven and field-tested HID and Audio class drivers. Jungo's USB Driver for the iPod enables users to control and stream music from the iPod over USB.
