USB Host Implementation via device hardware

Started by sau_sol September 27, 2009
Hi all

I am currently using LPC2138 for my designs.

now I got a similar controller LPC2141 with the additional feature of USB
device controller.

Now I want to know is there any way to implement a USB Host firmware by
using a USB device hardware.
If yes please let me know the method.

I want to interface a USB based CDMA modem with the controller, so can I
interface the modem with a USB device controller or I have to go for a USB
host controller.

No. You can use an external host controller though. -- Regards, Richard. + http://www.FreeRTOS.org Designed for Microcontrollers. More than 7000 downloads per month. + http://www.SafeRTOS.com Certified by T&#4294967295;V as meeting the requirements for safety related systems

Can you tell me any external HOST controller for USB ? so I can interface the USB with my controller using some other protocol... Regards, Saurabh --------------------------------------- This message was sent using the comp.arch.embedded web interface on http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

MAX3401 or something. Attach over SPI (device is slave)

Why not use LPC2387 or a similar device that has USB OTG on-chip?

Sorry Sir But I am not able to find a part named MAX3401 so can you suggest something else for USB HOST converter. --------------------------------------- This message was sent using the comp.arch.embedded web interface on http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

What I found were these (MAX1450?): http://www.maxim-ic.com/quick_view2.cfm/qv_pk/6226 Mel.

At first reading that does not appear relevant. That chip looks to be something that you can drop into a device with a wimpy USB and SD card interface, where its normally transparent, but when you switch it into a special mode than an external USB host can get higher speed access to the SD card.
