Vinculo is designed as a prototyping platform for VNC2 based designs and applications. The mechanical form of the module, and the concept of providing free software development library and tools, is inspired by the Arduino concept. Vinculo is a superset of the Duemilanove / Uno with 2 extra rows of headers providing an extra 10 pins. The software development environment, Vinculum-II IDE, uses a subset of standard ANSII ‘C’ instead of the Arduino Programming Language (wiring and processing) based software platform. Vinculo may also be used with many existing Arduino shields by po rting the firmware to run on the VNC2 IC. The module uses a VNC2-64Q package to facilitate 38 GPIO options on 0.1” pitch header pins. A 10 bit A/D converter has also been added to offer connectivity to analogue inputs. This A/D converter can be read by the VNC2-64Q SPI host interface. For USB connectivity the module includes one USB type A connector for a USB host port and one mini B connector for a USB slave port to provide access to the VNC2-64Q USB ports. An additional connector, to mate with the VII Debugger module, (also available from FTDI) is provided to connect to the VNC2 IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for creating and debugging application code to run on the Vinculo module. The Vinculum-II IDE comes with a variety of pre-compiled driver libraries for fast prototyping different modules including support for a variety of USB classes such as Mass Storage, Human Interface Devices (keyboards, mice), audio devices, video devices (webcam) and many more still under development. The development module will also be provided with a suite of libraries to facilitate fast application development. A bare prototyping Vinculo PCB (Vinculo_Proto) which has the same PCB form factor as the Vinculo is also available. This can be used to prototype most shield application, comes with a selection of components and mates directly to the Vinculo connectors in a style similar to Arduino shields.

Compatible with existing Arduino shields. A software configuration wizard is currentlty under development. 1.2 VNC2 IC VNC2 is the second of FTDI’s Vinculum family of Embedded dual USB host controller devices. VNC2 device provides USB Host interfacing capability for a variety of different USB device classe s 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 refer to http://www.ftdichip.com/Products/ICs/VNC2.htm Copyright © 2010 Future Technology Devices International Limited 2 Document Reference No.: FT_000327 Vinculo Development Module Datasheet Version 1.0 Clearance No.: FTDI#173 1.3 Part Numbers Part Number Description VNCLO - MB1A VNCLO-PSU-US VNCLO-PSU-EU VNCLO-PSU-UK VNCLO-SHLD1A VNC2 DEBUG MODULE Vinculo Motherboard Vinculo +9V/1A PSU ( Optional ) - USA Vinculo +9V/1A PSU ( Optional ) - Europe Vinculo +9V/1A PSU ( Optional ) - UK Vinculo_Proto prototyping shield (Optional) VNC2 debugger module USB "A" to Mini-"B" Cable, 1m USB "A" to Mini-"B" Cable, 1m Copyright © 2010 Future Technology Devices International Limited 3 Document Reference No.: FT_000327 Vinculo Development Module Datasheet Version 1.0 Clearance No.: FTDI#173 Table of Contents 1 Introduction .................................................................... 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 Key Features ............................................................................. 2 VNC2 IC .................................................................................... 2 Part Numbers ............................................................................ 3 Power ....................................................................................... 3 Input/Output ............................................................................ 3 LEDs .......................................................................................... 3 Module Connector Descriptions ................................................. 4 Vinculo Connectors : Pins and Signal Description...................... 5 USB Slave Port : Pins and Signal Description ............................ 7 USB Host Port : Pins and Signal Description .............................. 7 Configuration Jumpers .............................................................. 8 UART Interface ......................................................................... 9 Signal Description – UART Interface ............................................................. 9 2 Functionality ................................................................... 3 2.1 2.2 2.3 3 Pin Out and Signal Description ........................................ 4 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5 4 Configurable Pin outs ...................................................... 9 4.1 4.2 4.1.1 Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) ............................................ 10 Signal Description - SPI Slave ................................................................... 10 Signal Description - SPI Master ................................................................. 10 4.2.1 4.2.2 4.3 Parallel FIFO Interface - Asynchronous Mode ......................... 11 Signal Description - Parallel FIFO Interface ................................................. 11 4.3.1 5 6 7 Debugger Interface ....................................................... 12 5.1 Signal Description - Debugger Interface ................................. 12 ADC Converter ............................................................... 13 Firmware....................................................................... 14 7.1 7.2 7.3 7.4 Firmware Support ................................................................... 14 Available Firmware ................................................................. 14 Firmware Upgrades ................................................................. 14 Arduino Shield Compatible Firmware ...................................... 14 8 9 Mechanical Dimensions ................................................. 15 Schematic Diagram ....................................................... 16 Copyright © 2010 Future Technology Devices International Limited 1 Document Reference No.: FT_000327 Vinculo Development Module Datasheet Version 1.0 Clearance No.: FTDI#173 10 Arduino Shields ............................................................. 17 11 Contact Information ...................................................... 18 Appendix A – References ................................................................. 19 Appendix B – List of Figures and Tables .......................................... 20 List of Figures ................................................................................. 20 List of Tables ................................................................................... 20 Appendix C – Revision History ......................................................... 21 Copyright © 2010 Future Technology Devices International Limited 2 Document Reference No.: FT_000327 Vinculo Development Module Datasheet Version 1.0 Clearance No.: FTDI#173 2 Functionality 2.1 Power The Vinculo requires +5V for the USB host ports to power USB devices from the module. This is further regulated to +3.3V for VNC2. A +9V/1A DC supply is also available which can be used as an AC-DC adapter (wall-wart). The +9V is regulated to +5V and +3V3 on the Vinculo module. As an alternative to the AC-DC adapter the on board regulators can be taken out of circuit with jumpers to allow the +5V from a USB host port to power the module. Care should be taken with this approach as a USB host port can only provide a maximum of 500mA, which must power the Vinculo and potentially any devices connected to the Vinculo. The +5V and +3V3 supplies may also be accessed on the J1 header pins. VNC2 requires between 8 and 24mA depending on the clock speed at which the VNC2 core is running. 2.2 Input/Output Due to the flexibility of the VNC2 IC the actual definition of each pin is not fixed. The firmware developed for any application can use the VNC2 IO Mux to route a signal, e.g. UART TXD, to a range of IO pins. An IOMux utility built into the free tool chain development environment, IDE, allows the developer to define the IO from a GUI interface. The utility will then convert the users IO selection into C code to be included as part of the project firmware... There are 38 configurable IO pins available to the user, 8 of which are reserved for connecting to the onboard ADC device. The other 30 pins may be used for GPIO, UART, SPI or FIFO connectivity depending on the interface of the shield designed to connect to the Vinculo module. There are 2 USB ports on the Vinculo. The firmware will determine if the port is configured for USB host operation or USB device operation. 2.3 LEDs There are 3 LEDs on Vinculo. LED1 is driven by the VNC2-64Q IC depending on which firmware is loaded. It may be used to indicate traffic on the USB slave port connected via CN3. LED2 is driven by the VNC2-64Q IC depending on which firmware is loaded. It may be used to indicate traffic on the USB host port connected via CN2. LED3 is driven by the 3V3 supply connected to the VNC2-64Q IC. It will indicate when the Vinculo module is powered.

The analogue inputs are tracked out to the header pins such that an external signal may be applied for the VNC2-64Q to read the values with its SPI master interface. Alternatively the VNC2-64Q PWM interface may be used to provide waveforms for the ADC to convert and the VNC2-64Q can read the digital output over SPI in a loopback arrangement.
