Hi Brad, in the v1.4 release of Nios II Linux, we've included support for the ISP1161A1. I'm a little hazy on the specs, but I believe its a USB 2.0 compliant device that supports full and low speed devices. Like the ISP1761, it provides support for 2 host ports and 1 slave port.

Microtronix is currently selling a dev kit called the Product Starter Kit. The kit is modular by design. The main Kit is a baseboard with a Firefly module, 1 full santa cruz header, and 1 reduced santa cruz header.

Along with the main Kit, you can purchase our Ethernet USB Expansion Kit. The kit contains a santa cruz expansion board with the Phillips isp1161a1 chip and the Davicom DM9000 chip. Both of which are supported under Linux.

Hope this helps
