====== On-board embedded USB/JTAG programming interface ======

Uses a standard USB A/B cable to connect the board to a personal computer.
The on-board circuitry (no details available from Xilinx) implements the same

The only USB-related information provided by Xilinx is about the USB power supply
''USB1V8'' jumper in schematic documentation.
