USB Flash Drive

[Altera_Forum]

I have a Altera DE2 board with a Cyclone II FPGA on it. I"m working a project that would benefit from being able to write to a USB Thumb Drive. The board has a USB host port available. However I am unable to figure out how to gain access to this device or find a component that would allow me to access the Thumb Drive. Has anyone worked with this before and could offer some advice.

I was looking to see if anyone had ever built a component that could just be added using the SOPC builder and possible a driver that would go along with that.

Hi, I&#39;ve used usb testing software (http://www.jungo.com/usbtester_usb_testing_software.html) in the past to do just that , 

it&#39;s useful for usb testing (http://www.jungo.com/usbtester_usb_testing_software.html)
