2.3. Core Modules
2.3.1. Host Stack
The host stack consists of the Host Controller Driver (HCD) module. The driver is used for data transfer on the
USB bus for the connected devices. This driver can work in parallel with other HCDs (OHCI HCD, UHCI HCD,
EHCI HCD) present in the kernel. This is a kernel module and the Linux OS has support for USB, connected USB
device class drivers and suitable applications.

2.3.2. Device Stack
The device stack consists of the Device Controller Driver (DCD), the USB protocol driver, and the mass storage
class driver. The DCD is responsible for data transfer over the USB bus. The USB protocol driver responds to the
standard USB protocol requests. The mass storage class driver adds the mass storage functionality to the USB
device, and responds to the mass storage class commands and protocol. The mass storage needs to interface with
the physical mass storage device to perform its operations, and the physical disk is customer platform-specific and
