Re: Spooling from FPGA to the PC

Started by Daniel Leu August 17, 2004
Have a look at FT2232C  from FTDIchip.com. It is a simple USB slave
controller that comes with the USB drivers. These drivers provide an
UART com port on your PC. So interfacing this with your application is
really easy.

If your USB bus is not busy with other peripherals, you can get up to
8Mbit/s. So this should be sufficient for your application.
