Modifying code to use FPGA as USB Host #1

Hi,

I would like to use your code as a starting point to communicate with a device over usb with the Altera as a usb host.

Could you advise me how this could be possible? I am not yet an expect with VHDL, so any help you could give me would be appreciated.

Thanks.

VHDL knowledge is not a concern imho. Read code, google - and you are up and running in no time. I suggest the following route (which I took): Get your USB host application running in C with NIOS II (use free examples provided by Terasic should get you started in no time). Second, understand the ISP1362.pdf datasheet, and programming guide (pdfs are included in this project's repo), figure out changes you need to the existing VHDL, or write your own! Good luck.
