Thanks for the reply. I thought I could use USB 2.0 host port in order to communicate with host computer. Does not this support speed of 480 Mbps? May be I was wrong there but that was what I though. Nevertheless link speed is not my primary concern at this moment. If DE2 board can support 12 Mbps I think that will work fair. My main concerns are:

1) How do I send data to PC through USB interface

2) What should I do on PC side so that it understands data coming from DE2. Do I need to program a driver on the PC side.

3) How do I send data back to DE2

Thanks
