can we access devices via USB?

Post by chourizo »

The title is quite descriptive. The Nano54415 has USB pins. Are they used just for debugging or can we do more with those pins (access devices, USB-Ethernet bridge...)?

Thanks.

The USB pins are actually not meant to be included for debugging. They are the actual development pins for the mcf5441x processor connected through resistors.

However, there currently does not exist any NetBurner supported software drivers for USB development. We have done a small amount of development in in this area, but the documentation doesn't exist in any form online at the moment. To develop USB currently with the NANO54415, would require developing your own software driver, with the aid of the reference manual in /nburn/docs, an an intimate knowledge of your desired USB class, and probably a few hardware modifications to a NANO development board and NANO54415 board if I can recall correctly. I can detail the hardware modifications if you would be interested in writing your own software.
