DE2: USB examples

Hello, I'm trying to figure out how to go about starting a USB device that blinks LEDs if told to do so by PC. Looking at the example, DE2_USB_API, I can see TONS of Verilog files for a Verilog...

Hello Spellic,

I think I'm going to try and write a USB device interface. Although I've decided that I'm far from there, I have been printing sections of the ISP1362 datasheet. But I don't even think that datasheet does a good job of telling me how it works and how I talk to it. And the programming manual is for the software side of things.

If i can get libUSB to behave on my computer, it might not be much of a problem on the software side, at least not while I'm debugging the most basics of device communication, but it looks like it's going to be hard to get that far, as there's little guidance online, and most of the people that I know that would know anything about it, just tell me to stay away from it or use an FTDI USB to COM interface.
