USB/uart configuration header

Hi,

I was trying to figure out MIDI communication via UART, for an unpowered 
device. And have a development kit with an USB PHI. But was wondering as 
far as I can tell I only need to know the speed of the data transfer 
(and maybe a name) for being able to not have a PHI all together. And I 
think it would be easyer to catch the init value, rather than to build a 
frequency counter.

Does anyone know about the info that is sent to the device to set the 
init settings, I can't really find it?

First: up to now I cannot figure out any relation of this exercise to 
FPGAs...

Lets try it that way: WHICH one?

WHICH one?

I cannot get any sense out of this sentence. Can you try to write in a 
different way WHAT you want do get?

Thanks for looking into this,

It's an altera DE-1 SoC board, and there is a HUB "USB251xb" and a PHY 
"USB3300-EZK".

In my build there will be a 3rd party USB to PATA/IDE controller too.. 
But that aside.

I was thinking, since the PHY won't give me the frequency of the data 
transfer. And the device is unpowered.

Is'nt there a way to make a smaller optoisolator circuit and listen to 
what the host frquency tells my device. without using a PHY? If it does 
supply a speed setting to begin with?

Or if there are is a table somewhere describing the initial setup 
procedure in binary?

Cant edit my post..

But, does the host tell the device at what frequency the transfer is 
going to be? Before hand..

Please don't snuff me out on the UART :(
I got so much programming goodness to give.. Help me get on a bit with 
this.
