No, it does not.

First, the ELDK is primarily a tool chain, while USB support is a
Linux kernel issue, and especially a board support issue.

The ELDK includes a copy of our Linux kernel source tree, but the USB
support for the 82xx in our tree  is  exactly  the  same  as  in  the
kernel.org tree - i. e. non-existent.

There is none. If you need a working  system,  use  an  external  USB
controller.

Best regards,
