Discussion - Software / Re: USB Keyboard Host on VNCII
« on: April 03, 2020, 04:33:52 PM »
Hello,
Vinculum and Vinculum-II are quite old solutions and it don’t seem to work with a lot of newer devices due to changing designs. Note that is only a Full Speed (12Mbits/second) controller.
These mature products have not had any development for years and have been superseded by FT9xx.
The best option would be to use the FT90x MCU, however note that this only includes 1 x USB Host and 1 x USB Device controller.
This uses a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) controller.
You could take a look at the following examples to host HID class devices:
AN_360 FT9xx Example Applications
There are significant benefits of FT90x over VNC2:
-Eclipse based IDE
-Source code for API drivers is provided
-Significant performance improvement
-Actively in development by R&D
-Improved documentation and software examples
We provide FT9xx Development Modules and a free FT9xx Toolchain for custom application development.
Best Regards,
FTDI Community
