MPSoC to Versal Adaptive SoC Migration

The USB controller in the Versal adaptive SoC is based on newer Synopsys IP and is implemented as USB 2.0. The AMD Zynq™ UltraScale+™ MPSoC included a USB 3.0 controller based on older Synopsys IP.

In device mode, the Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC USB 2.0 controller can be used as the primary boot mode. In the Versal adaptive SoC, primary boot mode is not supported. Software can configure the USB controller as a secondary boot device.
