Info required regarding producers and consumers

Hello guys,

I am very new with USB Technology and I have been reading a lot about this from the manuals provided from cypress and also I have been following the forums.

I have read from the programmers manual that

"

 

A socket of a peripheral can be configured to either write to or read from buffers, not both. As a

convention, sockets used to write into system buffers are called 'Producers' " Does this mean that the data written over the socket  by an external processor(FPGA OR IMAGE SENSOR) so this socket is called a producer. But in the api libraries all the sockets and endpoints which are coming out I mean the data from (USB device to EXternal device) is called as producers. Please correct me if I am wrong

Sockets which are bringing the data into FX3 are called as "producers".

Good to hear that you already found the differences.

Thanks,

sai krishna.
