Dear Experts,
I want to interface a nokia mobile which has Mini USB port with Atmel Micro controller to send AT Commands.
I cant use old mobile which have RS232 support as i have to use Symbian S60 based mobile.
I dont want to use micro controller with on chip USB host support or an external USB to Serial Host chip like FT232 as they are not available at my location.
So,
Which one of the following is possible, easiest and most cost effective?
1. Is it possible to use low cost ready made USB to Serial converter cables like (www.amazon.com/SERIAL-ADAPTER-VIEWSAT-SATELLITE-MAGELLAN/dp/B001QWW4MS)?
I have couple of these and I use them for connecting some old Serial port devices to connect to laptop.
Can they be connected in between mobile and Atmel by giving it power?
2. Is there any easy to use software available which can be use as USB Host controller inside the micro controller.
I found couple of softwares but they looks to be used with PCs at one end, not with Mobile.
3. If above two are not possible then which is the easiest and most cost effective?
A serial to USB host chip or a UC with on chip USB host support?
Please also suggest the IC names preferably from ATMEL.
Sorry for so many queries!
Thanks & Warm Regards,
Saqib
