The CY6611 USB Hub EVK is now available!  Based on the EZ-USB™ HX3PD hub controller (CYUSB4347-BZXC), the CY6611 kit provides a powerful evaluation platform for customers who are interested in building USB docking stations or multi-functional monitors that provide 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports with USB-C and Power Delivery features.

Key features:

• USB-IF certified USB 3.2 Gen 2 hub silicon (TID # 5030000008).
• USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) data transfer on five Downstream (DS) ports (DS1-DS5)
• USB 2.0 data transfer on seven DS ports (DS1-DS7)
• USB PD 3.0 charging on Upstream (US) and DS1 port
• USB Battery Charging (BC v1.2) and other legacy charging standards on four DS ports (DS2-DS5)
• The ability to configure and program the HX3PD firmware

Kit contents:

• CY6611 EZ-USB HX3PD EVK Board
• 19-V, 65.2-W AC/DC Power Adapter

I'd like to try making something like in the question title, but I can't find many modules with the ability to "view" the devices connected to the hub. This could either take form as a microcontroller already in the hub module which is intended to be reprogrammed with firmware by the designer, or as a hub which can connect to external devices via, for example, I2C, UART, or some other protocol. Does Cypress make anything with this capability, or is there another module like this?

 We can control the downstream port in individual mode using polyfuse option or ganged mode using power switches.

Some example EEPROMs supported by HX2VL

The 28-pin QFN package supports I2C EEPROM like ATMEL/24C02N_SU27, MICROCHIP/4LC028SN0509, SEIKO/S24CS02AVH9.

The 48-TQFP package supports all the above and additionally SPI EEPROMs like ATMEL /AT93C46DN-SH-T

HX2VL is a fixed function part.   It does not require any customer programming and is ready to function as a hub with the default configuration.  

The configuration (VID/PID/DID, number of ports available, number of removable versus non-removable ports, etc) can be changed using  pin-straps or an external I2C/SPI EEPROM.  Please refer to Configuration Options section of the HX2VL datasheet for further information on using pin-straps or an EEPROM to configure the part.

You do not need to develop your own driver - it uses the hub class driver included with the OS.

I am looking for a board that can act simultaneously as a USB device and as a TCP/IP client over ethernet.  I am considering the CY3662. Does anyone know if this board has been used this way before?  If so, are there code examples available?

I'm new to Cypress, so I'm not sure how to navigate around and find code/documentation for devices. It looks like resources for the CY3662 are limited. I've looked at the "Getting Started" guide, and its fairly brief.
