My feeling is, you should have bit knowledge of device level programming like writing drivers, etc and for that you need low level languages. C++ can be a good start. And basics of OS and it's functionality is mandatory

Hi Swetha, I am expecting like real time sample for learning. here all posts are like to explain me what is driver and how to write the os kind of think. Ok now my point is i want to write the tool for control my USB port with some grand and protection based on the password. Can you explain how to do this by using C++. That tool should be active automatically when USB port getting connection with device and from that tool only i have to allow or denied the file transfer permission between the two devices.
