Introduction
The following data sheet details the features and specifications of the VNC2 debug module. The VNC2
debug module is designed to provide connectivity between the Vinculum-II IDE development software
and the debug interface pin on the FTDI Vinculum-II (VNC2) USB host controller device.
The VNC2 debug module consists of a miniature board with a USB miniB connector, which provides USB
connectivity to Vinculum-II IDE development tools running on a PC. The VNC2 debug module can be
used to program and debug firmware running on the VNC2 device.
The module connects to the VNC2 device via a 6-way, 2mm pitch, keyed, female connector. The V2DIPx-
x, VNC2 based development modules are equipped with a compatible male connector to host the VNC2
debug module. Designers intending to use the module with their own VNC2 based hardware are required
to have a similar compatible male connector on their hardware. Details on the debug interface and
connectors are outlined in subsequent sections of this document.
