Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: EZ-USB

Hi Steve,

What Cypress EZ-USB chip an which development kit are you using? Also,
what's the Xilinx chip for? How hard is it with the DK to get some
initial communications going between the PC and the DK? I'm told they
supply a Windoz app (w/ source code) to test out initial communications?
