[ELDK] USB on Kilauea

[Dave Rensberger]

Wolfgang,

If you could provide any information about the cable, it would be
appreciated.  I'm trying to get help from AMCC about this, but they
don't seem to be sure (they thought that the cable that ships with the
Kilauea board should work, which doesn't seem to be true).

Ah! You definitely do need the correct adapter. I don't have physical
access to the board at the moment, so I cannot check, but be  careful
-  there  are  4-pin  and  5-pin adapters, with internal pull-ups (or
-downs?) to switch the line drivers, and such trickery.

Best regards,
