Last time Travis got the following demo board and it seems to work fine as per Travis. http://www.cutedigi.com/breakout-board/ezusb-cy7c68014a-usb-2-0-development-board.html It is a simple board and there are many similar boards like this in the web. Some of them are quite cheap (US$10 - US$20, but the shipment can be a problem). http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.1.al4bvD&id=16344323104 http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z10.3.17-1177612702.8.ZOSt90&id=4730890279&; I have not seen a cheap EZ-USB FX3 USB 3.0 development board yet. Mouser is selling the Cypress CYUSB3KIT-001 at about US$265 which is a bit pricey for personal use. -- Xiaofan ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everyone hates slow websites.
