USB Core (Japanese Version)

Hi Guys

I know someone of you have helped me in my replies regarding USB
Implementation before.
I downloaded the USB Core (referred to as the Japanese version). The beauty
of this core is that no hardware is required. Just need to connect the D+
and D- of the USB cable to pins of the FPGA.

The facts..
I changed the code around so that it has a altera pll running and producing
a 48Mhz clock for the usb.
I connected some of the output pins to the leds to see what's going on.
I uploaded the program and connected the usb cable to the pins and to the PC
(and added some circuitry like 3 extra resistors).
and Behold, the program on the FPGA actually does something. I know it's
working because when i connect/disconnect the usb calbe, the lights on fpga
change their pattern for a small amount of time..

However I can't test the actual communication. The reason being, when I
connect the usb cable to the PC, the PC recognizes a new USB device is
attached (as win2k shows in the system try all the usb devices.), however is
unrcognised as VALID drivers are not installed.

What I need is some help/tips on how i can install a driver for this
product. The fpga has been configured so that it recognises a vendor ID of
C91 and product ID of 2001. I have tried playing around with .inf files, but
win2k rejects all of them and uses the standard c:\winnt\inf\usb.inf file.

I'm so close to getting this thing to work.

Pls help/advice
Regards

I didn't post the link as I got the link from this newsgroup so didn't think
anyone would need it. Anyway here is the link
http://member.nifty.ne.jp/fpga/freeip/usb/

It's in Japenese. Goto Altavista.com and translate it from japense to
english.

Pls reply back if you get it work.
Have fun

Try http://www.jungo.com/products.html#driver_tools
They have a demo version that looks really easy to make drivers.
I played with it but not on a real device.
Let us know if it works!

Hello Colin
    LOL, while doing a search on google, I had come across that site.
Installed it, then deleted it :P..
 Guess looks like I'll have to try again. I hope I can crack it.
Thanks Colin

Colin
Have u got a crack for this program? Since I installed it about a month
back, then uninstalled it, and now it won't work.. Sigh

Cheers

Hi Again Colin
Don't worry about the crack, I found it.
Did u have this problem,
WinDriver finds the device, and I assign the Vendor ID and the Product ID
and windriver generates a inf file, and then tries to install the driver.
However at this stage, win2k takes over and reports that
c:\winnt\inf\usb.inf is a closer match and windows ends up using that driver
instead of my custom generated driver and I can't do anything about it.

Cheers.

I had tried the program on my computer at work which I don't have anymore.
I had tried it back in January.  I saw your posting and thought I'd point a
finger in that direction for you to look at.

Something isn't totally right with the way that windows handles USB devices.
I have a new Compaq scanner with a new Compaq computer.
They didn't even have the driver preinstalled. I had to use the scanner CD
to install the drivers.
Now, whenever I plug in another USB device (new or already installed)
windows scrambles the scanner driver.  Then windows tells me how it found
"new hardware" and installs a do-nothing unknown device driver.
Installing the scanner drivers from the CD doesn't work.
I finally went to the windows answer database and found that I have to
uninstall ALL USB devices, including the motherboard USB controllers, reboot
and let windows find everything, then install the scanner driver, then plug
in the scanner.
Everytime the power goes out I have to do this procedure all over again.
I had to get a big UPS to put all my equipment on.

Microsoft engineers should be fixing the functionality of the operating
system instead of plugging the back-door holes THEY left for hackers to get
in.

Maybe when the government locks up one of those childish hackers they should
also lock up the Microsoft engineer that left the door open in the first
place.

Sorry about all the venting.

Regards,
Colin

Hi Colin
Haha it's ok. I had a similar problem with a HP scanner on a HP computer.
Once the driver was installed, if the user unplugge it and plugged it in a
diff usb slot, the whole driver process had to be carried out all over
again. Pain in the ass.

I deided to dedicate the usb port to scanner only ;o)
oh well
thanks for the direction. I'll keep working on it. Hopefully along the way
someone can help me out
Thanks again

Hey, it is the first time I have seen someone ask 3000$ for a Linux license...
I pressed 'BUY'....
Or did I read that wrong?
In Linux you can just modifiy some USB webcam driver I am sure... 
In fact I had a go some time ago to interface unknown USB webcam, but
finally found an existing driver, so left it.
Just wondering.
