Introduction

Vinculo is a development module based on the FTDI Vinculum II, VNC2 dual USB host/slave IC. Vinculo

is designed as a prototyping platform for VNC2 based designs and applications.

The mechanical form of the module, and the concept of providing free software development library

and tools, is inspired by the Arduino concept. Vinculo is a superset of the Duemilanove / Uno with 2

extra rows of headers providing an extra 10 pins.

The software development environment, Vinculum-II IDE, uses a subset of standard ANSII ‘C’ instead

of the Arduino Programming Language (wiring and processing) based software platform.

Vinculo may also be used with many existing Arduino shields by porting the firmware to run on the

VNC2 IC.

The module uses a VNC2-64Q package to facilitate 38 GPIO options on 0.1” pitch header pins. A 10 bit

A/D converter has also been added to offer connectivity to analogue inputs. This A/D converter can be

read by the VNC2-64Q SPI host interface.

For USB connectivity the module includes one USB type A connector for a USB host port and one mini-

B connector for a USB slave port to provide access to the VNC2-64Q USB ports.

An additional connector, to mate with the VII Debugger module, (also available from FTDI) is provided

to connect to the VNC2 IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for creating and debugging

application code to run on the Vinculo module.

The Vinculum-II IDE comes with a variety of pre-compiled driver libraries for fast prototyping different

modules including support for a variety of USB classes such as Mass Storage, Human Interface Devices

(keyboards, mice), audio devices, video devices (webcam) and many more still under development.

The development module will also be provided with a suite of libraries to facilitate fast application

development.

A bare prototyping Vinculo PCB (Vinculo_Proto) which has the same PCB form factor as the Vinculo is

also available. This can be used to prototype most shield application, comes with a selection of

components and mates directly to the Vinculo connectors in a style similar to Arduino shields.
