USB HIGH- AND FULL-SPEED DEVELOPMENT BOARDS

The USBee EX is a new family of USB development boards. The USBee EX 2.0 supports the development of USB 2.0 high-speed devices, and the USBee EX supports USB full-speed development. Both platforms use the compact development board combined with the USBee Toolbuilder software libraries and drivers to quickly design custom USB solutions. The USBee EX Experimenter’s Board is the newest addition to the USBee Digital Test Pod family.

With USB being the dominant external PC interface, embedded designs are naturally moving to utilize the bus for connectivity. Using the USBee EX Experimenter’s Boards, every embedded application can now gain the benefits of the higher data rates (480 and 12 Mbps), simple installation, and self-powered capabilities without the headaches traditionally found with USB development.

Unlike other USB development systems, the USBee EX Experimenter’s Board combined with the included drivers and libraries is a ready-to-embed solution that’s already optimized for size and cost. It can be transferring data in minutes, not days.

USBee EX Experimenter’s Boards are fully compatible with applications written around the familiar USBee Toolbuilder software frameworks used with the USBee Digital Test Pods. The USBee Toolbuilder software allows for the creation of custom interfacing and test tools using Visual Basic or C.

The software for the USBee EX Experimenter’s Board is provided for free on the company’s web site. In single units, the USBee EX 2.0 high-speed Experimenter’s Board costs $199. The USBee EX full-speed Experimenter’s Board costs $99.
