Comments
These two ports indicate the frame counter value used (presumably) in the most recently sent or received start-of-frame packet. (In normal operation, SOFs are sent by the host, once per millisecond, and contain an 11-bit counter value.) These ports can be used for timing, or simply as an indication that USB is working (since the USB controller will not generate SOFs unless a device is connected.)
