Kawasaki LSI, Mentor Graphics and Xilinx have partnered and  developed the industry's first UTMI-compliant USB 2.0  upgradeable reference design. The reference design provides a USB 2.0 to SCSI technology bridge, and can be used to provide end-to-end high-bandwidth data storage. This solution can be utilized to provide a USB 2.0 bridge to any SCSI device including hard disk drives, CD writers, DVD ROMs, etc. for home networking applications. The design also provides a flexible and upgradeable USB 2.0 technology bridge to multiple home networking standards such as HomePNA, HomePlug, HomeRF, IEEE 1394, IEEE 802.11b, etc.  Features USB 2.0 Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) compliant Physical layer by Kawasaki LSI High-speed (480Mbps) USB 2.0 functionality Mentor Graphics MUSBHSFC Fully Synthesizable Core Optimized for low-cost Spartan-II FPGAs Backward compatible with full-speed USB 1.1 Future-proof, reprogrammable SiE Low-cost home networking solution Click here for documentation on this reference design.
