In the last decade Apple's iPod has revolutionized the MP3 player device market. With more then 70% MP3 Player
market share, Apple's iPods have become synonymous with mobile mp3 devices. In order to accommodate the growing
popularity of the iPod product lines, manufacturers have sought to incorporate iPod 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 iPod class drivers. This enables manufacturers to
embed iPod class drivers within their products to provide full functionality and communication with iPod and Apple devices.
Background
iPods and Apple's other products such as the iPhone, all operate using a proprietary communication protocol called
the
iPod Accessory Protocol (IAP). In order to enable 3rd party devices to communicate with iPods, this
protocol must be included in the devices class driver support.
Jungo's USBware embedded USB software solution includes complete support for all IAP functionality. By embedding
USBware's software stack manufacturers can include support for all 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. The sophisticated iPod module enables manufacturers to
embed drivers which dynamically enable users to control the iPod via the 1-wire protocol - stream audio and control its functions over USB.
USBware's CDC-ACM Class Driver with support for the Prolific chipset supports the 2-wire IAP protocol.
