Honored Contributor --- Quote Start --- What do you think about using the Qsys USB controller? --- Quote End --- I've never used it. You'd need to read its documentation. For example, it might only be available on the newer ARM SoC devices. Older generation devices do not have USB interfaces.

You then need to interface to it using a NIOS II or your own HDL. Cheers, Dave
