uClinux setup for USBHost

If you want to add ISP1362 support to your hardware, you must name the instance of the component as "ISP1362" in SOPC builder. Otherwise you have to modify the instance name in linux-2.6/arch/nios2/kernel/usb.c .


In kernel menuconfig,

Turn on SCSI device and SCSI disk.

If you are using DE2, you may try the example project DE2_System_v1.6/DE2_demonstrations/DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA of the DE2 v1.6 CD.

when booting, the kernel will detect your hcd, your usb devices.

Please note, some disks are formatted without a partition table in Windows. You won't see sda1 in this case. You will just use "dev/sda" instead.

Linux Host Controller driver for the NXP (was Philips semi) ISP176x USB High Speed Host Controller PCI kit. This driver provides BULK, INTERRUPT, and ISOCHRONOUS transfer support.  hcd and dcd on sf.net .
Bernard ported the driver to a PXA255 running 2.6.17. It's at http://dagobah.ucc.asn.au/isp1761/. Seehttp://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.p...&forum_id=38940 for more info.
If you are designing a new board, you should consider ISP1761 instead of ISP1362. The ISP1761 is much faster (at high speed) and support more features.

Understanding and developing Linux USB drivers

SOPC Component for ISP1362

For SOPC Builder, create a new component using this verilog file ISP1362_CTRL.v. Click next until the "interface" tab, then make the following changes :

•     Slave Adressing : Native
•     Units : ns
•     Setup : 100
•     Read Wait : 100
•     Write Wait : 100
•     Hold : 100

   

After creating the component, add it to your design. Make sure it is named "ISP1362". Thats it.

After compiling the design, the pin assignments must be set. The pin names used in the verilog code matches the pin names used in the DE2 User manual. Make sure the pin assignment is done correctly.

This works in Altera Quartus 7.1sp1.

SOPC Component for ISP1161A (also works with Microtronix USB-Ethernet daughterboard)

Add this file (ISP1161A_CRTL_hw.tcl) into your Quartus Project folder, and refresh your SOPC builder. It will then be available under UTM > ISP1161A. Add it into your project and rename the component to "usb". This works in Altera Quartus 8.0.

If the above method gives errors, or doesnt work with a newer version of quartus, use this file (ISP1161_CTRL.v) and create a new component.

Set irq_n as "Interrupt Sender - irq_n". Make sure to assign this interrupt sender to the Avalon bus in the next page.

Set all the USB chip pins as "Conduit - export".

In the next page, set the following values for timing :

•     Units : ns
•     Setup : 100
•     Read Wait : 100
•     Write Wait : 100
•     Hold : 100

After creating the component, add it to your design. Make sure it is named "usb". Thats it.

After compiling the design, the pin assignments must be set. The pin names used in the verilog code matches the pin names used in the DE2 User manual. Make sure the pin assignment is done correctly.

When compiling uClinux, make sure to choose the correct device driver in the "make menuconfig" command.
