 		 #141106 - Host = Master?
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Russell Bull said:
As the others have mentioned, you need a cpu that has USB [master] and/or USB OTG [master] hardware

many chips listed as USB have USB slave and none of those will handle a 'pen drive'.

Michael Karas said:
Clearly for a USB type pen drive the MCU would have to be a USB host to be able to talk to the FLASH device.

Is there any particular distinction between the terms "Host" and "Master" here?
Are they synonymous?
Is one preferred over the other?

Similarly for "Slave" and "Device"...
