+# Description
+
+This directory contains test code for `USB Host layer` of USB Host stack. Namely:
+* USB Host public API calls to install and uninstall the USB Host driver with partially mocked USB Host stack to test Linux build and Cmock run for this partial Mock
+* Mocked are all layers of the USB Host stack below the USB Host layer, which is used as a real component
+
+Tests are written using [Catch2](https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2) test framework, use CMock, so you must install Ruby on your machine to run them.
+
+This test directory uses freertos as real component
+
+# Build
+
+Tests build regularly like an idf project. Currently only working on Linux machines.
+
+```
+idf.py --preview set-target linux
+idf.py build
+```
+
+# Run
+
+The build produces an executable in the build folder.
+
+Just run:
+
+```
+idf.py monitor
+```
+
+or run the executable directly:
+
+```
+./build/host_test_usb_host_layer.elf
+```
