Hi there,
I'd love to put some USB functionality to my custom MPC855T board.
I noticed USB support for USB devices. But which USB controllers are
actually supported? Which controller would be the best?
I guess I'll want to use the MPC as a USB host and as a USB slave - well
not at the same time I suppose.
Is that possible? Or does Linux include support only for USB host
controllers?
TIA!
Cheers,
Steven

Dear Steven,

Linux provides now a good USB hosts/devices support. You can have a look at
the Linux USB Project page : http://www.linux-usb.org/. You have to
consider that your microcontroller doesn't integrate a USB host (if you want
one, you may reconsider your choice and look a the MPC-850 family).
Some mails on this mailing-lists were published about USB host/device. Other
interesting informations should be found through nesgroups like
news://comp.arch.embedded
Feel free to ask me directly if you want more precise informations.
Regards,
Frederic.

Thanks for your reply.
Since we need Fast Ethernet we are kind of restricted to MPC855T/860T.
Using the above URL it's easy to find out about supported devices like
cameras, disks, whatever.
But finding information about supported chipsets is much more difficult.
And when I am talking about chipsets I don't mean PCI chipsets.
I am looking for a simple USB controller from Atmel, Cypress or so
supported by linuxppc!
Is linux/drivers/usb the right place to look for supported chips?
Any ideas?
Thanks.
