Descriptors
One of the most complex things when developing USB is the descriptors. Descriptors are used by a USB Gadgets to inform the USB Host about it's capabilities.
Overall, USB Descriptors is a hierarchy of descriptors organised like this:
A USB device (or gadget) can only have one device descriptor.
When a USB host enumerates a USB device, the device and configuration descriptors are analysed and one configuration is enabled. Only one configuration can be active at any time.
While it _is_ possible for a host to switch configuration on a device offering more than one, it is very rare for devices to offer more than one configuration.
All descriptors, device, configuration or interface, follow the same common format:
| Offset | Field | Size | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | bLength | 1 | Number | Size of the complete descriptor in bytes |

Configuration Descriptors
