USB Core Query

Hello PPL,

I have a wague question. can i use the open cores code for my final product, will there be any royalty or any other issues related?

we have a requirement of using the USB 2.0 CORE, as IP CORE from Vendor is costly.

comments are invited

Thanks in advance

you should approach to open cores only...

probably you cant use it for making your product... it is just for learning purpose... open cores are developed for learning purpose as per my knowledge not for business.

Why don't you contact opencores directly. They wont bite you know.

I assume it will depend on several things whether or not you will be able to use the core or not.
