The hwselect only extract component name and port address from ptf, and creat the nios2_system.h .

It does not take care of any drivers.

If the drivers are supported in Linux kernel you can select them in memuconfig.

Otherwise you have to write/port them.

In tthe USB for DE2 example, the USB chip is ISP1362, and you have to check current ISP116X drivers, or port them. It is host.

You will also need other USB option in menuconfig, eg USB Mass storage and SCSI disk support.
