 # embassy-usb
 
-TODO crate description
+Async USB device stack for embedded devices in Rust.
+
+## Features
+
+- Native async.
+- Fully lock-free: endpoints are separate objects that can be used independently without needing a central mutex. If the driver supports it, they can even be used from different priority levels.
+- Suspend/resume, remote wakeup.
+- USB composite devices.
+- Ergonomic descriptor builder.
+- Ready-to-use implementations for a few USB classes (note you can still implement any class yourself oustide the crate).
+    - Serial ports (CDC ACM)
+    - Ethernet (CDC NCM)
+    - Human Interface Devices (HID)
+    - MIDI
+
+## Adding support for new hardware
+
+To add `embassy-usb` support for new hardware (i.e. a new MCU chip), you have to write a driver that implements
+the [`embassy-usb-driver`](https://crates.io/crates/embassy-usb-driver) traits.
+
+Driver crates should depend only on `embassy-usb-driver`, not on the main `embassy-usb` crate.
+This allows existing drivers to continue working for newer `embassy-usb` major versions, without needing an update, if the driver
+trait has not had breaking changes.
