Hi, I am using Nios II Embedded Evaluation Kit, Cyclone III Edition and was wondering if the USB connector is there only for programming purposes. I am trying to connect LabJack (http://labjack.com/) to the board to see whether I can send/receive signals through USB to my pc. 

 

Is it possible?  

 

PLEASE let me know. 

 

Thanks advance for your help.

USB connector on Neek is just for embedded blaster, only programming purposes. In order to have an USB slave/host operation, an ISP1362 chip is needed, Neek lacks of it, however development boards like DE2/DE2-70 have this chip.
