Superset of the Arduino Duemilanove / Uno development boards.
FTDI Integrated Development Environment (IDE) including code editor, compiler, assembler and
debugger, which is supplied free of charge, and supports ANSII C coding for easy portability and
maintainability.
Precompiled drivers for a variety of interfaces e.g. USB, UART, SPI.
Precompiled driver support for a wide range of USB host classes including Mass Storage, Human
Interface Devices (keyboards, mice), audio devices, video devices (webcam) with many more
under developed.
Precompiled driver support for a wide range of USB device classes including FTDI peripheral ICs,
Human Interface Devices (keyboards, mice) with many more under developed.
Compatible with existing Arduino shields.
A software configuration wizard is currentlty under development.
1.2 VNC2 IC
VNC2 is the second of FTDI’s Vinculum family of Embedded dual USB host controller devices.
VNC2 device
provides USB Host interfacing capability for a variety of different USB device classes including support for
BOMS (bulk only mass storage), Printer, HID (human interface devices). For mass storage devices such
as USB Flash drives, VNC2 also transparently handles the FAT file structure.
Communication with non USB devices such as a low cost microcontroller is accomplished via either UART,
SPI or parallel FIFO interfaces. VNC2 provides a new cost effective solution for providing USB Host
capability into products that previously did not have the hardware resources available.
VNC2 has the capability to enable customers to develop custom firmware using the Vinculum II
development software tool suite. The development tools support compiler, assembler, linker and
debugger tools complete within an integrated development environment (IDE).
The Vinculum-II family of devices are available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) 32-lead LQFP, 32-lead QFN,
48-lead LQFP, 48-lead QFN, 64-Lead LQFP and 64-lead QFN packages For more information on the ICs
