Re: [microblaze-uclinux] Accessing USB Flash Drive from uclinux&microblaze

Howdy John,
many thanks for the reply. Initially, we plan to interface to an external
logic USB controller chip,
we want to do some interesting embedded projects messing around with USB
Flash drives and
other USB devices. At a later stage we plan to  integrate the USB core into
the FPGA portion of the design.

It will be an interesting platform for  hardware-software projects. We will
probably want to port to a Celoxica
supported board.

Cheers,
            Andy
