USB Development Tools for Embedded Devices?

engywook asks: "I am thinking about putting a USB interface onto a real-time (home-brew kernel) embedded device, (naturally) with the intent that it talk to another device. I am thinking that it would be very useful to be able to monitor the USB traffic between my device and the other device, and between that other device and (say) a PC that already knows how to talk to it. Looking around, it seems that this capability is available, but at prices in the US$10K and up realm, which is a lot more than I can afford. I am looking for pointers to tools that would accomplish this for much less money. Any ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!"

any linux-based usb-host-capable dev. board.

there are tons out there, cheap. ARM, even ... google is your friend (so is linuxdevices...) they can be had for $99 or so, or free, in some cases, if you know your vendors ...

that, and the linux kernel, is all you need to debug USB.
