<Instructions>

============

Steps to compile the Intel IXP400 Software USB driver:

1. Unzip the BSD_Linux_ixp400UsbClientDriver-<version>.zip into the root directory of the Intel® IXP400 Software Access Library.

2. Modify ixp400_xscale_sw/Makefile_ixp46X

Add "usb" at the end of BI_ENDIAN_CODELETS_COMPONENTS.

For example: BI_ENDIAN_CODELETS_COMPONENTS := hssAcc ethAcc atm usb

3. Clean up your previous Intel IXP400 Software Access Library by typing "make clean" in ixp400_xscale_sw directory.

4. Recompile the Intel IXP400 Software Access Library with USB client driver support.

Type "make modules <any addition parameters>" in the ixp400_xscale_sw directory.

For more information on compiling the Intel IXP400 Software Access Library, refer to the Intel® IXP400 Software Access Library release note.
