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

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
