USB Host Controller Development Tool - Vinculum FTDI

FTDI announced the DLP-VLOG, a development platform based on its Vinculum USB host controller chip. DLP-VLOG development platform , is designed for simple data logging applications such as reading  temperature, humidity and voltage data, and store it on the supplied 32MB USB flash drive. Vinculum VNC1L-1A IC provides USB host interface supports most popular device classes of mass storage, HID (keyboards, mice, etc), and also printer. A Microchip microcontroller used together with the Vinculum IC serves to illustrate how to provide data storage to a small microcontroller.

Vinculum provides USB host capability to microcontroller-based products.

Vinculum device has 8- and 32-bit custom processor cores,  64k embedded flash, 4k internal SRAM memory and dual DMA controllers. Vinculum features two USB 2.0 low and full speed, host and slave ports, UART, SPI, parallel FIFO interfaces, PS2 keyboard, mouse interface, and up to 28 GPIO pins (depend on configuration)

The DLP-VLOG development kit includes a C compiler, device programmer and debugger and C source code for the microcontroller. All files are shipped in the supplied flash drive.

Price for the DLP-VLOG is $250.00. More info at FTDI
