The USB port on the ARM board isn't a host port. It's a device port and you can connect it only to a host (PC) or a hub.

Currently it's only used for initial firmware upload (any further flash updates can be made from an SD-Card) or to revive bricked boards.

With appropriate software support it could be used for virtuallization of serial and/or parallel port.


Which Controller are you using?

Currently 31 KB of the Flash is used (the Flash is 256 KB in total) and over 16 KB of RAM.

Subfolder support has not been implemented yet.



Yeah, that is a lot of Flash space! :-)
