I'm trying to use FTDI's Vinculum II to implement a USBSlave to RS232 interface. I know that there are al lot of other ways (other than a VNC2) to realise this but i have to use the VNC2.
I'm trying to use the firmware for the USBSlavetoFT232 sample program to create the RS232 conenction by opening the UART device and using the vos_dev_read and vos_dev_write commands to acces the UART and send it to my pc using RS232. However, it doesn't seem to work.
I have no clue what the FT232 driver does and if it already uses the uart, does anybody know this? Has anyone tried creating this sort of interface with the VNC2 or VNC1?
Lastly i was wondering if anyone knows a book or tutorial document for the VNC2which uses a usbslave as example, preferably not one by FTDI for I find their documentation about the VNC2 to be verry poor.

My problem starts with your terminology. What's an USB slave? USB specifications knows hosts and devices. Do you mean a device function?
I'M not familiar with VNC2. Can you briefly tell, what's the purpose of the USBSlavetoFT232 sample? FT232 itself is a hardware USB-to RS232 bridge device made by FTDI. So what is the function of USBSlavetoFT232?
