MSP430 USB Host

Ed Crampton
Prodigy 30 points

I am currently working on a project that needs to be able to talk to a client USB device.  The device uses a CP2101 UART to USB Bridge Controller and is currently used with connection to PC.  I would like to break that connection and use a microcontroller preferably one in the MSP430 family that can be host and talk to the client.  I have looked at the VDIP from FTDI and wondered if that is the best solution as a host chip for the MSP430. Also the MSP430 will be talking uart to a bluetooth chip for wireless communication which MSP430 would be best for dual UART communication to the Host USB and the bluetooth chips?

Thanks

    Ed,

    I hope I understood your request correctly. You are looking to implement the following:

    USB host -----> MSP430 (USB device/UART host) -----> Bluetooth chip

    The F552x family has an integrated USB PHY and can serve the role of a USB device as well as a UART communicator using the USCI A0 communication module.

    If you are simply looking for a 430 with two UART channels you can pick any device that has 2 USCI A modules. In this case the F24x is probably one of the cheapest options.

    Regards,

    Priya
