Accelerated IP, USB and You
Accelerated IP, USB and You Saturday and Sunday I spent about 10 hours this week walking 10 miles dropping off over 500 flyers for my friend running for San Jose City Council. I learned the following: 1) People have nicer lawns and gardens than me 2) People have worse looking lawns and gardens than me 3) More people living in apartments vote than people in single family homes 4) People are really friendly and polite 5) Even the people who want you to go away (“No Solicitors Please, see the sign?”) 6) You probably won’t get shot after dark in San Jose as long as you are holding a clipboard and wearing shorts There will be a prize for a math problem at the end of this blog related to the data above.

Eric started working on USB in 1995, starting with the world’s first BIOS that supported USB Keyboards and Mice while at Award Software. After a departure into embedded systems software for real-time operating systems, he returned to USB IP cores and software at inSilicon, one of the leading suppliers of USB IP. In 2002, inSilicon was acquired by Synopsys and he’s been here since. He also served as Chairman of the USB On-The-Go Working Group for the USB Implementers Forum from 2004-2006.
