Possible br0ken. This is all explained in the EZUSB technical reference manual
(a few pages of several hundred. The docs are on Cypress' web site.

It needs to be cleared through ActiveWire before commercial redistribution.
There may be bits of the Anchorchip / Cypress libs that are _not_ freely
redistributable.
What would be nice would be a free 8051 / EZUSB library, with source. I know
that Tom Sailer did some work on this, and there is some 8051 stuff out there,
and the tools are available. There is even a USB 2.0 version of EZUSB
available. I just got so much on at the moment...
