Abstract
A method of communicating between a host and a USB-connected device is provided, in which a first and second phase of a communications protocol are asynchronously transmitted between the host and the device. A third phase of the communications protocol can also be asynchronously transmitted with the first and second phases. The USB-connected device can be a mass storage device and the communications protocol can be a bulk-only transport protocol having a command phase, a data phase, and a status phase.
