That really depends on how the question is asked. If its an "I'm an
embedded systems master and have an emergency, I need to implement USB. Now
I see USB but have doubt. How I implement USB?" Then 'none' is definitely
not too little. If its an "I'm trying to use USB for the first time. I
started off reading XYZ book, and most of it made sense. However, now I
come to implement it it stops working after 5 minutes. I've tried A, B and
C to debug the problem, but am having no luck. Can you suggest the next
steps I should take" - then I will take the time to try and give an answer.
