As well, Texas Instruments produces TUSBxxx devices including USB hubs based on 8051 core.
I may be out of the loop on this conversation, but last I looked, the TUSB stuff reminded me a whole lot of the Cypress FX/FX2 series. USB device with on-board RAM, loaded from external EEPROM at boot. Anyway, not a master (a hub is just a special class of device, it's not a master). The TUSB parts (and the TAS1020B USB audio chip) are not EZ-USB clones. The main difference is that EZ-USB chips have a very flexible slave/FIFO interface to external logic. There's no similar interface on the TUSB parts, which give you 8051-style ports. -a |
