Nürnberg, Germany 3-5 March 2009

Traditional solutions for microcontrollers using USB mass storage impose severe design limitations on embedded device development. One of the serious problems is that the PC, while connected to the target, has full control of the target device’s internal storage, but is running a file system that is not failsafe.  Developers can circumvent these and other design limitations by using HCC’s USB-RFI (Reliable File Interface) and file systems.

 

The on-stand demonstration will show standard USB mass storage connectivity, in parallel with the RFI, to allow HCC’s failsafe file systems to connect to Windows while the embedded device remains in full control of the storage media.

 

Two demonstrations will be available:

 

1.   NXP LPC3250 microcontroller

 

NAND flash controller, SDIO controller, USB device and USB host drivers with various HCC file systems.

Benefits: This configuration provides an embedded system with three failsafe file systems (NAND flash, SD card and USB pen drive) operating as 3 independent active drives under Windows Explorer.

 

2.   ST STM3210E microcontroller

 

NAND flash controller, SDIO controller and USB device functionality with HCC SAFE-FAT and SAFE file systems.

Benefits: This configuration provides a system with two failsafe volumes working as two independent, active drives under Windows Explorer.
