Development kit speeds USB design
A new evaluation kit from Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) eases hardware development for Vinculum VNC1L-based embedded USB host designs.
The V-Eval kit includes a development board, power supply, USB A/B cable and a USB gender change for use with USB slave applications A downloadable human interface class (HID) example project for a PIC, in C language is also available

USB-UART bridge takes more onboard
The FT232R next-generation USB-UART bridge includes onboard EEPROM, master clock generator, 3.3V LDO regulator, reset generator and USB termination resistors.
The board provides two USB host/slave ports, multiple I/O port connectors and an inbuilt Vinculum USB device programmer, terminal emulator and command monitor.
In addition to the USB ports, board connectors provide access to the UART, SPI and FIFO interfaces.
Five user-programmable switches, five user-programmable LEDs and five status LEDs are also included together with PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors.
To ease circuit design, a large array of 800 0.1in-pitch holes is provided.
This prototyping area can be used to add additional components to the board and for testing complete designs.
Onboard devices include a VNC1L embedded host controller and an FT2232 dual USB-UART IC that provides programming and debug functions for the Vinculum host.
The V-Eval can take power from either the power supply included in the kit or from a host PC using the USB B connector.
Software and documentation for the V-Eval kit can be downloaded from the Vinculum website.
