[myhdl-list] Trouble setting up USBP

[Daniel G. <dan...@ie...>]

Hi,
I'm trying the USB FPGA code 
(http://www.myhdl.org/doku.php/users:cfelton:projects:usbp)

- MyHDL and usbp-0.5pre.zip setup done without problem (Win XP SP3)
   . Simulation => VCD file: OK
   . Verilog conversion: OK
   . VHDL conversion: temporarily disabled (broken)
     => no problem it' a work in progress project
- Trying to launch: test_usbp_hw.py
   => complain about missing usbp module
   . gone to SourceForge, downloaded and installed USBP:
     Setup.exe 8.6 MiB  	Release date: Wed Jan 16 2008 07:00
     => doesn't solve the problem
     no readme file found installed by Setup.exe
   . gone to USBP website (http://www.fpgaz.com/usbp/)
     One update says:
	Recent Changes [08/2009]
	* The host software is more Python centric. ...
           The python package latest installs can be downloaded "here".
     => Great news: former interface using C++/Boost Python
        was frightening to me, preventing me to do a try.
     BUT: "here" is a broken link to SourceForge !!!

Summary:
- SF last release: Jan 16 2008
   => doen't seem to work with users:cfelton:projects:usbp code
- USBP project has been updated [08/2009], but code is not available

Can someone help setting up USBP code to make all this work ?

PS:
- Many thanks to Jan Decaluwe for inventing MyHDL
   (I'm a big fan of Python and sometimes using tiresome VHDL...)
- Many thanks to Christopher Felton for his USB FPGA project:
   . It's a more exciting (for me) example of using MyHDL than
     coding a D flipflop or just making noise.
     It has changed MyHDL status in my mind
     from an "interesting initiative"
     to a "useful tool" that's worth mastering.
   . I'm using USB+FPGA boards for prototype work
     but don't enjoy writing VHDL
