FTDI has launched a range of VNC2 evaluation modules (V2DIP-x), a VNC2 evaluation kit (V2-EVAL) and a VNC2 debug module. These modules are designed to help designers quickly develop embedded USB 2.0 host/slave designs based on the recently announced Vinculum VNC2 devices. VNC2 is a user programmable dual USB 2.0 host/slave intelligent SOC controller featuring a customised 16-bit MCU core, 256 KByte e-Flash program memory and 16 KByte of SRAM data memory. VNC2, and its associated modules, are aimed at designers wishing to add USB connectivity while implementing their own custom application firmware.
The V2-EVAL evaluation kit is a complete prototyping platform for VNC2 and consists of a main development board which can take a 32-, 48- or 64-pin daughter board to suit the VNC2 package selected. Two USB type ‘A’ connectors and a USB type ‘B’ connector provide interfacing, configuration and silicon level debug of the VNC2 application. A debug interface provides access through the USB interface to a comprehensive range of firmware debug features using the royalty-free Vinculum software development tool-chain and IDE. The board provides I/O headers for all supported interfaces such as UART, FIFO, SPI and GPIO. In addition, user configurable LEDs and switches are provided.
The V2DIP-x family is a range of compact VNC2-based USB host/slave evaluation modules designed to fit into either a 0,6 or 0,8” standard DIP socket, allowing quick and easy connection to a development board or end product. Single (V2DIP1) or dual (V2DIP2) USB type ‘A’ connector versions are available for all three package sizes. VNC2 I/O pins are available via the DIP headers. In addition, a 6-pin header is provided to connect to the VNC2 debug module.
The VNC2 debug module, when used in conjunction with the Vinculum software development tool suite, provides full VNC2 silicon level debug. Connection to a host PC is provided via a USB type ‘B’ connector (and standard USB cable), while a 6-pin, 2 mm socket provides an interface to any of the V2DIP-x evaluation modules.
