emUSB-Host has been designed to fit many kinds of embedded design requirements. Several features can be excluded from a build to get a minimal system that can efficiently act as a USB host. In the following section the memory usage of typical 32-bit embedded systems is listed.
Please note that the values shown below are approximate values and features selected can influence the final size. The measurement were made using a project for an ARM Cortex-M4 CPU with size optimization and SEGGER compiler 10.6.3.
