Title: Zynq Module as USB host front end for digital circuit
Post by: martinius on January 22, 2017, 11:00:12 PM
I like to find a solution of the following task, which at the moment is done with a linux min pc:

I need to add common USB devices with provided linux drivers to electroic circuits which are DSP-controlled. The DSPs are too rudimentary to act as usb hosts.

so I like to find a "plug in" plattform, which can handle a number of USB slaves decodes commands and provides an active interfac to write to the dsp's interfaces. I2C oder UART would be fine.

Is there a module which can perform this without to much work?

thanks
Martin

Hello Martin,

I think you need to try some module with Zynq FPGA, for example TE0726 (Zynqberry). All this modules
have 2 ARM Cortex A9 cores with USB interface, Ethernet interface and several I2C/UART interfaces. Also each 7 series FPGAs have
many DSP blocks, so some part of DSP precessing can be done in FPGA.
