Nexys A7 as USB HID non-Host

[Suhail]

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to turn my NexysA7 FPGA into a relatively simple game controller. Naturally, I want to send data from the FPGA to my computer using the HID port since the communication is bidirectional but I don't think I totally understand how to make my PC the host rather than the FPGA. Are there any suggestions on how to do this? (Worth noting that I am relatively new to this)

 

Thanks for any help in advance!

The USB port on the Nexys A7 only implements embedded host functionality. If you wish to communicate with a PC, the simplest is UART, which appears as a Virtual COM port on the PC.
