Mouser – Development platform for Vinculum embedded USB host designs

The FTDI V-EVAL hardware development platform for Vinculum VNC1L-based embedded USB host designs is now stocked by Mouser following a distribution deal with its manufacturer Future Technology Devices International Limited (FTDI) a leading supplier of silicon and software solutions for the Universal Serial Bus (USB).

Supplied as a complete kit, the platform includes the V-EVAL 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 PIC, in C language, is also available.

The board provides two USB host / slave ports and multiple I/O port connectors, as well as 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 included with PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors. To ease circuit design, a large array of 800 0.1-inch pitch holes is provided. This prototyping area can be used to add additional components to the board for testing complete designs.
