Design of USB-FPGA-PC communication system for hardware-software co-design

Abstract

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is one of the most popular developments in PC seven companies, including Compaq, Intel, Microsoft, NEC and others. It not only peripheral interconnect technology, which was introduced as bus protocol in 1994 by has the advantages of fast transmission speed, good generality, strong expansibility, plug and play and so on, but also has the advantages of low cost and easy implementation. At the same time, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is one of the most widely used application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).
