USB 2.0
As a USB device, the host detects the SkyeModule Nova as an HID device. The SkyeModule Nova uses a standard
HID driver but is not a certified USB device. The SkyeModule Nova supports both standard and high speed USB
hosts and enumerates correctly on both Windows and UNIX platforms. The USB interface is typically only used
for demonstration as a USB host controller is not usually available in embedded systems. To communicate with
the reader in USB mode, either SkyeTek (Skyeware) demonstration software or the SkyeTek APIs can be used.

NOTE
–
If powered by USB, the USB host must be capable of supplying the USB standard high power device,
500mA at 5V. Also, the Nova will always communicate via USB, when a USB host is connected.
