adsp 21364

Started by cee4max August 21, 2007
hi

We are using ADSP 21364 for our audio processing application.We are
planning to use MAX3420E (USB Peripheral Controller with SPI
Interface ) to interface with PC through serial peripheral interface
of the ADSP 21364. Is it possible to use SPI interface for half
duplex communication with MAX3420E
regards

Just looking at the data sheets I'd say yes. Thanks for pointing out the
Maxim part, I can put that to work in a few other places too!

The Maxim part is interesting but from their web site it wasn't apparent
that they have device driver support.

It may be fairly straightforward (or maybe not) on the DSP side, but it
is not trivial on the host side.

Device drivers cost a lot of money to develop. This situation is the
reason that companies like FTDI & Cygnal have a viable business model.

Excellent point. I have used FTDI a lot for serial to USB for exactly
that reason.

I did a google search on "usb made easy" and found this:
http://www.usbmadesimple.co.uk/ums_3.htm

A scroll down the page shows just how "simple" it is. NOT!

But if you have time, it could be fun.....
