Take your mark! Get Set! Sell. In the race to get USB 3 solutions to market, it seems we are now into step 2. Two of the chip makers that made news recently jumping on the USB 3.0 road are now working together to tool up and play off their respective strengths. With the major hardware specifications set, hardware manufacturers have to move to the next level and start to establish, implement and perfect the software protocols that allow for data to move along the hardware path. One of the early favorites for storage protocols is the USB Attached SCSI Protocol (UASP) - an overhaul of the current storage standard that will leverage SuperSpeed USB transfer rate while providing some performance improvements for legacy USB 2.0 MSC devices. Symwave and Ellisys are working together to both develop storage devices and develop testing hardware to meter and diagnose said devices. Striving to be the first to market with a USB 3.0 Storage device led Symwave naturally to testing-analysis solution provider Ellisys. The Ellisys Explorer 260 has been created to test SuperSpeed USB 3.0 solutions. The availability of these tools will allow other hardware manufacturers in addition to Symwave to more rapidly test their hardware devices through the creation process. As updates are made to the standards and new developments arise in the UAS Protocol, Ellisys will provide firmware upgrades to keep its Explorer systems up to (Super)speed. The arrival of more development tools for SuperSpeed USB designer means faster product development and cheaper releases. About Everything USB
