So let me further explain my bottom line situation. Me and my student are cracking our heads to have a project on USB on Altera DE II finished in 1 month time. Is there a solution for this without going through buying any IP or license? We are too late to get a budget for it.

The bottom line of our project is:

1- To have a program (C++/C#) running on a PC, to communicate with Altera DE II through USB.

2- The program on PC side is MASTER (host), and the HDL (Verilog/VHDL) on DE II is SLAVE (device).

3- The PC side program just a code to tell the DE II board which GPIO pin (IDE pins) to turn ON or OFF.

4- The board side HDL will just receive the PC's instruction THROUGH USB, then switch the GPIO pins accordingly.

The project is simple enough and should be doable in 1 month if we have enough knowledge.

Thanks for any of your response.
