USB MCU Host Emulator Sample Project

USB AT-Bus Interface
Overview
This is an example project that demonstrates using the FT2232Cs Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial
Engine (MPSSE) controller to perform MCU host bus controlling of an AT-Bus. The executable application
and the full project code (in Delphi) are provided.
Requirements
This project is designed to run on Windows 2000 or Windows XP and requires FT2232C drivers to be installed.

Running the Sample Application

Run HostEmul.exe. The following dialogue window will be shown.

The top left drop down menu allows you to select the device you want to open.
In this example device DLP-2232M A was connected.
The OPEN and CLOSE buttons open and close the port.
Read Controls
Address High are address bits A15 to A8.
Address Low are address bits A7 to A0.
Read will read the address (uses A7 to A0) and the data is displayed in the log window.
Read Extended will read the address (uses A15 to A0) and the data is displayed in the log window.
Write Controls
Address High are address bits A15 to A8.
Address Low are address bits A7 to A0.
Write will write the data in the data box to the address selected (uses A7 to A0).
Write Extended write the data in the data box to the address selected (uses A15-A0).
General I/O Bits
There are two General I/O bits 0 and 1.
These are defaulted as inputs but can be set as outputs using the 0 Out and 1 Out boxes. The Set High bow
sets the IO to logic one. This can be used to toggle the LEDs.
Wait Controls
Allows you to queue commands on the IO before triggering on a transition caused by tting / removing a
jumper link
