## Download ##

tinyusb uses github as online repository https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb since it is the best place for open source project. 

If you are using Linux, you already know how to what to do. But If Windows is your OS, I would suggest to install [git](http://git-scm.com/) and front-end gui such as [tortoisegit](http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit) to begin with.

After downloading/cloning, the code base is composed of

Folder  | Description
-----   | -------------
*boards*  | Source files of supported boards
*demos*   | Source & project files for demonstration application
*mcu*     | Low level mcu core & peripheral drivers (e.g CMSIS )
*tests*   | Unit tests for the stack
*tinyusb* | All sources files for tinyusb stack itself.
*vendor*  | Source files from 3rd party such as freeRTOS, fatfs etc ...

*repo/demos* is the folder where all the application & project files are located. There are demos for both device and hosts. For each, there are different projects for each of supported RTOS. 

## Prerequisites ##

In order to build and run application demo, you would need

- A [supported development board](../../boards/readme.md)
- A supported toolchain: LPCXpresso, Keil, IAR.
