Jungo's Driver Development Toolkits Support USB 2.0

Sunnyvale, Calif., Feb 21st, 2002- Jungo Software Technologies Inc. today announced support for USB 2.0 for Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP in the newly released version 5.04 of its driver development toolkits.

Jungo's driver development toolkits enable developers to create high performance drivers for USB peripheral devices. In this latest release, Jungo's toolkits enable device driver development for USB 2.0 peripherals in addition to the long-standing USB 1.1 support. The toolkits support Control, Bulk, Interrupt and Isochronous data transfers, pipe reset and device reset operations and support both low and high speed devices under EHCI, UHCI and OHCI host controllers.

USB 2.0 increases the speed of the peripheral to PC connection forty fold compared with USB 1.1 (from 12 Mbps on USB 1.1 to 480 Mbps on USB 2.0) - a major advancement for external peripherals that demand high bandwidth.

"The penetration of the USB 2.0 technology into the consumer device market will encourage device vendors to seek out the most cost effective and efficient means to minimize development bottlenecks," said Roy Tannenbaum, Product Manager at Jungo. He added, "With any consumer product opportunity, time to market is crucial. Jungo provides tools that merge next generation technology with user-friendly interfaces, to ensure that our customers can successfully meet their scheduling and product development objectives."
