How to Interface microcontroller with Mobile using USB

Started by rememberramu October 28, 2009
I am doing a project where I need an interface between mobile phone and
microcontroller. Actually I need to process text message on
microcontroller. The mobile phone has USB output, and I found that
PIC18F4550 has USB input, but both of the device acts as slave not as host.
I also found that some mobile phones like Nokia 6610, Nokia 6610i and,
Nokia 6210  have serial port which I can interface with microcontroller
like 8051 etc, but I am not planning to use them, so I am looking for
microcontroller to work as a USB host to get text sms from mobile phones
and process them. Is there any way to solve my problem ?

Thank you for your help!

Regards, Ram

The Atmel AVR USB1287 has USB-on-the-go which means that it can work as host and device (not at the same time off course). You can buy it on a little board called the USB Key which is very handy and not expensive. Good luck with Your project! Sincerely, Rene

I found that PIC24F series can also do that, have you ever used it ? What is your experience ? --------------------------------------- This message was sent using the comp.arch.embedded web interface on http://www.EmbeddedRelated.com

/www.EmbeddedRelated.com Get a GSM module USB Host is hard to get done correctly and expensive, and as far as i know there is no standard on USB interface from mobile phones.

I am sorry, I have no experience with PIC's. Good luck! Rene
