+
+   BSP
+      Board Support Package. A collection of board-specific code that provides hardware abstraction for a particular development board, including pin mappings, clock settings, linker scripts, and hardware initialization routines. Located in ``hw/bsp/FAMILY/boards/BOARD_NAME``.
+
+   Bulk Transfer
+      USB transfer type used for large amounts of data that doesn't require guaranteed timing. Used by mass storage devices and CDC class.
+
+   CDC
+      Communications Device Class. USB class for devices that communicate serial data, creating virtual serial ports.
+
+   Control Transfer
+      USB transfer type used for device configuration and control. All USB devices must support control transfers on endpoint 0.
+
+   DCD
+      Device Controller Driver. The hardware abstraction layer for USB device controllers in TinyUSB. See also HCD.
+
+   Descriptor
+      Data structures that describe USB device capabilities, configuration, and interfaces to the host.
+
+   Device Class
+      USB specification defining how devices of a particular type (e.g., storage, audio, HID) communicate with hosts.
+
+   DFU
+      Device Firmware Update. USB class that allows firmware updates over USB.
+
+   Endpoint
+      Communication channel between host and device. Each endpoint has a direction (IN/OUT) and transfer type.
+
+   Enumeration
+      Process where USB host discovers and configures a newly connected device.
+
+   HCD
+      Host Controller Driver. The hardware abstraction layer for USB host controllers in TinyUSB. See also DCD.
+
+   HID
+      Human Interface Device. USB class for input devices like keyboards, mice, and game controllers.
+
+   High Speed
+      USB 2.0 speed mode operating at 480 Mbps.
+
+   Full Speed
+      USB speed mode operating at 12 Mbps, supported by USB 1.1 and 2.0.
+
+   Low Speed
+      USB speed mode operating at 1.5 Mbps, typically used by simple input devices.
+
+   Interrupt Transfer
+      USB transfer type for small, time-sensitive data with guaranteed maximum latency.
+
+   Isochronous Transfer
+      USB transfer type for time-critical data like audio/video with guaranteed bandwidth but no error correction.
+
+   MSC
+      Mass Storage Class. USB class for storage devices like USB drives.
+
+   OSAL
+      Operating System Abstraction Layer. TinyUSB component that abstracts RTOS differences.
+
+   OTG
+      On-The-Go. USB specification allowing devices to act as both host and device.
+
+   Pipe
+      Host-side communication channel to a device endpoint.
+
+   Root Hub
+      The USB hub built into the host controller, where devices connect directly.
+
+   Stall
+      USB protocol mechanism where an endpoint responds with a STALL handshake to indicate an error condition or unsupported request. Used for error handling, not flow control.
+
+   Super Speed
+      USB 3.0 speed mode operating at 5 Gbps. Not supported by TinyUSB.
+
+   tud
+      TinyUSB Device. Function prefix for all device stack APIs (e.g., ``tud_task()``, ``tud_cdc_write()``).
+
+   tuh
+      TinyUSB Host. Function prefix for all host stack APIs (e.g., ``tuh_task()``, ``tuh_cdc_receive()``).
+
+   UAC
+      USB Audio Class. USB class for audio devices.
+
+   UVC
+      USB Video Class. USB class for video devices like cameras.
+
+   VID
+      Vendor Identifier. 16-bit number assigned by USB-IF to identify device manufacturers.
+
+   PID
+      Product Identifier. 16-bit number assigned by vendor to identify specific products.
+
+   USB-IF
+      USB Implementers Forum. Organization that maintains USB specifications and assigns VIDs.
