AN_475
- Reference Design
1.General Description
AN_475,FTDI Windows 10 IoT Solutions. This reference design looks at how the new Win10 IoT Operating System can be loaded onto a small embedded processor (Raspberry Pi2) and then using specially built Win10 IoT FTDI drivers, control an FT4232H USB bridge device to access the system peripherals
2.Scope
This document is intended to help designers of IoT applications to use the FTDI bridging devices to extend the I/O capabilities of their embedded processor board and to use FTDI’s EVE display solutions to provide a graphical user interface (which could be extended with touch and audio capabilities). The document uses the Raspberry Pi 2 and Windows 10 as the example platform. The topics covered by this application note include:
- - Using the FTDI Universal Windows Platform D2xx driver on Windows 10
- - Using FTDI bridging devices and associated MPSSE functions for SPI and I2C
- - Using the FTDI EVE devices to create a user interface for small embedded computers
3.Hardware
The hardware and source code described in this application note provide a starting point for developing applications to enable USB to SPI and USB to I2C communications using the FTDI bridging solutions such as the FT4232H. FTDI have several other bridging devices including the FT232H, FT2232H and FTDI C232HM MPSSE cable which could also be used. The block diagram is shown below.
