Any PPC system with working USB 2.0 host

Any PPC system with working USB 2.0 host

[Jamie Guinan]

Hi,

I'm trying to get ahold of a low-power, small form factor system with 
support for USB 2.0 hi-speed host.  PPC would appear to be a good 
solution for this.

I've tried 2 well-known embedded board vendors, and despite having USB 
2.0 capable hardware, neither could provide a working solution.  The 
"BSPs" from both vendors depend on out-of-tree patches, so I won't 
bother this list with details.

Does USB 2.0 host on the KuroBox in fact work, with hi-speed devices?  
Any other boards that are known to work?

AMCC 440EPx.  Freescale 8343.  Both have Linux support with USB 2.0
host.

Yes, it does. Never had problems with it, using it with a high-speed 
wireless dongle, didn't test too intensively with storage though.

We are in prototype status of our embedded framegrabber product which
is based on a MPC8540/825MHz + GbE + Promise SATA (PDC20775) +
Philips 4x USB2.0 (ISP1563) + SM501 Graphics + FPGA on Local Bus
for 150MByte/sec DMAing into RAM in a 165mm x 125mm x 49mm box with
160GB HDD + 6.5" TFT Display + LiIon-Batteries .

It's based on the latest Linux stuff. The system is able to work as a
standalone host, so you compile your stuff directly on that box..

If you are interested, feel free to contact me off list.
(Enough advertisement for now. ;-)

Best greets,
