Hi all,
 I plan to implement the USB support for the MPC8270 processor. The 8270 has a USB 
host controller which is neither UHCI nor OHCI. besides which i read that it pretty 
much has the requirements to be a Host controller.
  I am reading through the hardware manual, and also trying to understand the design 
and core functionality required for a Host Controller right now. So any pointers on 
the same would be helpfull.
   One thing that i cam across in the hardware manual, that really intrigued me was 
  "The following tasks are not supported by the hardware and must be implemented in
software:
- Incrementing the frame number and generating CRC5 for the SOF (Start of Frame)
  token once per frame (1 ms) "
 
   I was wondering if such a code could be written on the stock linux kernel, where 
the interrupt latency itself is about 1-2 ms (correct me if i am wrong here)
   would any MPC-peoples out here help on figuring this out?  :-)
   I read something about some microcode patch for MPC processors. If someone could 
tell me what that does, it would be helpfull.
   
regards,
Vishal
