XPS USB 2.0 EHCI Host Controller

As of October 2011, Xilinx handed over to MLE sales and support for the Xilinx XPS USB 2.0 EHCI Host Controller. Available in Revision 2.00a, this IP Core allows users to connect FPGAs to full-speed and high-speed USB devices for human-machine interface applications, cameras and storage. The current release supports Spartan-3, Spartan-6 or Virtex-4, Virtex-5, Virtex-6 FPGAs in a Big-Endian PLB-based architecture. A Little-Endian AXI4-based architecture for 7-series FPGAs will be available soon.
