Thanks a lot.

That gives a lot of typing, which in turn results in lots of typing
errors, which in this case are probably nasty to debug.

Suggestion: instead of

	set hwconfig dr_usb,dr_usb_mode:peripheral,dr_usb_phy_type:ulpi

use:

	set hwconfig dr_usb:mode=peripheral,phy_type=ulpi

What do you think?


Best regards,
