Hi, I'm the guy behind this http://eleccelerator.com/usbxlater-preview/
Anyways, I used a STM32F chip in that hardware because I needed two USB ports for the PS3
However, for the PS4, I only need one USB OTG port. Kinetis chips are cheaper than STM chips so I'm debating to save a few dollars per chip. Also it'll be nice if I can just tell people to "go buy a Teensy" instead of selling things myself.
But the problem with Freescale chips is that the code they provide SUCKS, MQX is terrible and bloated and confusing. I have no trouble working with ST's libraries and USB stack but every time I look at MQX I want to stab myself. Freescale doesn't provide anything else...
So I am hoping that Teensy can be the answer (Teensy core code is a lot more compact), when is USB host and USB OTG going to be included in the Teensy core code? (I did search, I found a dead thread from a year ago with no real answer)
(Please don't tell me to get a USB host shield, if I am switching chips to save $4, I'm not spending another $20 on a shield)
