Hi, not AVR releated, but I thought you guys might know ? (not got this talking to my AVR yet !)

I have a VDIP1 (dev board for VNC1L). I have it connected via RS232 to a PC via a com terminal. I have the latest firmware (v3.66 VDAP).

I can dir, open, close, read, files on my USB stick. But when I try to read a particular number of bytes, I always get the entire file, plus a stream of a funny control char which never ends. I have to reset it. I've tried a couple of different files.

I'm sending :
OPR MYFILE.TXT
RDF 02
The file contains "HELLO" I am expecting "HE", but I get HELLO then a stream of chars that never end ?

Any ideas ?

Thanks.

Jon

I think it depends on how you specify the number of bytes IIRC. I had a similar problem, may be not enough 0 in the number of bytes.

I think the same thing, but I've tried everything I can think of.

I've tried :

RDF 02
RDF $02
RDF 0002
RDF $0002
RDF 00 02
RDF $00 $02

Whats annoying is the data sheet example is :

RDF 10
helloagain

Which doesn't work for me.

Looks like I'll have to call them Monday.

RTFM ! :-)

"...Note: After reset the monitor defaults to Binary Mode..."

You need to call "IPA" to set the numeric format to ascii. by sending "0002" I was sending 30303032 !

Its all working. :-)

:oops: That's it. I have used only short command mode for over a year so things are not very clear anymore....well things are not very clear at the best of times anyway. :lol:

I have used over 100 VMUSIC2 (and another 20 systems on order) and just started to use some VDRIVE2.

Hello gents,
I am so glad to find someone with experience using VDIP1.
Just like Big Jon, I am using a VDIP1, serial mode. I have no problems writing, making or changing files on a flash drive.
I can connect a Dell USB keyboard to VDIP1 and see the Hex values on terminal.
However, I have developed a USB keyboard for a Honeywell console. This keyboard works great when plug in to console, (console contains drivers for Keyboard).
However, I have to develop a production test and when I plug in my keyboard to VDIP1, keyboard “STALLS”. After set_configuration ( I used a USB analyzer). Any ideas?

Help, please!

Are you following the sequence of negotiation as outlined in J Axelson's USb book? Which version of FW are you running in your VDIP1?

I've also integrated the FTDI chip into some embedded products, starting with the VDIP1 for wirewrap prototyping of code, etc. But, I am using it simple for flash drive/mass storage interfacing.

a USB host should never send a stall under any condition, so the stall is the result of the device sending it.

I do not consider myself a USB expert by any means, but something seems a bit funky about the transaction above - I am not sure if the device is properly responding to the address assigned to it. In any case, it appears that the SET_CONFIGURATION transfer is being rejected by the device, which is allowed if it doesn't support the requested configuration mode.

Have you contacted the tech support guys at FTDI? I have found them to be quite helpful, though they usually take a few days to respond. Sorry that I cannot be of much help at this time.
