What is the minimum PC environment required for Xilinx USB cables?
The host computer must contain a USB host controller with one or more USB ports. The controller can reside on the PC motherboard, or can be added using an expansion or PCMCIA card. Xilinx USB cables support both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, although performance is optimal on USB 2.0 ports. For additional details, refer to the cable data sheets: Platform Cable USB Data Sheet (DS300) and Platform Cable USB II Data Sheet (DS593): http://www.xilinx.com/support/documentation/configuration_hardware.htm.
