RE: [usb] USB status

["Stackelhouse, Scott (FL51)" <scott.stackelhouse@honeywell.com>]

This core is just getting started (or restarted as the case may be).

AFAIK there isn't any USB code yet available.  I am reading through the
specs and learning what I can.  I might be able to get started on it this
weekend.

A problem we are trying to tackle (opencores in general) is the licensing of
the code.  See this list and the [oc] list for references to the licensing.

We don't want people to grab our source code(s) and use them in a way that
is inconsistent with the ideas of the GPL.  There is concern that the GPL as
written does not apply to VHDL source code (or Verilog), and there is
concern that we should have a license covering the more physical aspects of
the design (synthesis and silicon).

I am not decided yet just how much coverage is necessary for the ideas of
opencores to be successful.

btw, a lot of usb information is available at www.usb.org

Hi There,

I've seen from the Opencores Web page, that there is a USB available.
I haven't been able to find out what is the status of this core.

1.	Is the VHDL RTL code available ?
2.	Level of test, verification and compliance of this code ?
3.	What is the procedure to receive the code if available ?

Thanks in advance
Best regards
