Netchip 2280 USB support

We have a potential customer that is interested in QNX, but the sticking
point is USB 2.0 support. Their system uses the Netchip 2280 USB controller.
I didn’t see where QNX supported this, so my questions.

  1. Does QNX have plans to support this chip?
  2. If so, is there a scheduled timeframe?
  3. If not, is there a USB development kit available? (didn’t see one on QNX
    website)

TIA

    There is no kit to develop USB host controller driver

You forgot to ask question 4, which is how much would it cost to have QSS
support it.

Then I would have answer contact sales :wink:

This chip is a USB device controller.
There is no development kit for host or device chipsets. The chip vendor
could
llikely provide source to a driver that could be ported or you could go
through
custom engineering services.

No. Device controllers tend be poject/platform dependent. We did some CE
work a while back on a client driver that conformed to the mass storage
bulk only spec.

No.

We don’t have a ddk for device controllers. Typically the chipset vendor
provides example client drivers. What class of device are you looking at
(mass storage, comm, hid)?

Primary objective is to collect 8 channels of 192 KHz streaming audio data.
I’m not sure if they have other uses in mind, I’ll have to check.

Sorry about the last empty message. I got a new laptop with big touchpad
buttons on the palm rest and if I rest my hand on the left button the
message gets posted immidiately. I gotta find a way to fix that.

Anyway… the customer was not clear and I assumed the chip was for a USB
host. They are actually building a USB peripheral device and the Netchip
2280 needs to act as a USB 2.0 device, not a host.
