Reference design allows rapid USB mass storage interface development
Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) has announced availability of the VF2F2 reference design module for its Vinculum VNC1L embedded USB host controller. The design incorporates a practical firmware application that demonstrates file transfer using the USB mass storage class interface. It permits moving files from a USB device, such as a digital camera, to a USB flash disk. The design could also be used to transfer files between other mass storage class devices such as MP3 players or between two USB flash disks. The module is equipped with two USB type A sockets and four control buttons. An onboard DC-DC converter provides 5V and 3.3V supply from the attached battery pack that holds 2 x AAA cells. Four LEDs provide indication of flash disk enumeration, file copy, power and error conditions.
The The VF2F2 is supplied fully assembled together with schematics, firmware and printed circuit board gerber files. They are also available for download from the Vinculum web site. http://www.vinculum.com/
