1 Introduction
The FTDI Vinco Ethernet RTC MP3 shield is designed to connect directly to the FTDI Vinco development
PCB. The shield will allow the Vinculum-II (VNC2) device on the Vinco PCB to access an Ethernet port
which uses the Wiznet W5100 chipset, audio files using the VLSI VS1053b CODEC and access a Real
Time Clock using the NXP PCF32123 device. These 3 functions are accessed via the VNC2 SPI Master
mode.
Vinco is a development module based on the FTDI Vinculum-II (VNC2) dual channel USB host/slave
controller IC. Vinco is designed as a prototyping platform for VNC2 based designs and applications.
The mechanical form of the module, and the concept of providing free software development library
and tools, is inspired by the Arduino concept. Vinco is a superset of the Duemilanove / Uno with 2 extra
rows of headers providing an extra 10 pins.
Software libraries which support the development of the Ethernet, MP3 and RTC applications are
available with the free Vinculum-II development Toolchain available at VNC2 IDE.

2 Functionality
2.1 Power
The shield requires a 3V3 supply to power the PCB. This is generated with an onboard 3V3 regulator
supplied with 5V supplied by the Vinco baseboard.
An additional 1V8 supply for the VS1053b audio codec is generated from an onboard regulator.
2.2 Input/Output
Connection to the Vinco baseboard is via pin headers. The Ethernet port, the audio CODEC and the Real
Time Clock are accessed by the VNC2 via SPI interface between the boards.
An RJ45 connector with inbuilt Speed and Link LEDs is provided for connecting to external Ethernet ports.
A 3.5mm audio socket is provided for connecting headphones to the audio CODEC output.
MIC input to the audio CODEC is available on header pins.
2.3 LEDs
There are 4 LEDs available on the shield.
1. LED1: Ethernet Full Duplex indicator is driven from the W5001 IC to indicate the Ethernet port is
in full duplex mode.
2. LED2: Ethernet Collision indicator is driven from the W5001 IC to indicate the Ethernet port is
experiencing data collisions.
3. LED3: Ethernet Received Data indicator is driven from the W5001 IC to indicate the Ethernet
port is receiving data.
4. LED4: Ethernet Transmitted Data indicator is driven from the W5001 IC to indicate the Ethernet

2.5 Ethernet Operation
Ethernet is accessed via the Wiznet W5100 IC. This device converts Ethernet data to SPI data and vice
versa. The SPI port is a slave to the VNC2 SPI Master. Ethernet, SPI Master and GPIO drivers are
supplied with the Vinculum-II Toolchain at VNC2 IDE to allow programming and reading data over the
SPI interface to the W5100 IC
Figure 2.1 – SPI Master communicates with W5100 via the SPI bus
This Ethernet device will support TCP/IP and UDP protocol and allow for 10Mbps or 100Mbps transfers on
the Ethernet link.
All the Ethernet magnetics to support the Ethernet link are integrated into the RJ45 connector on the PCB
and as such the user only needs to supply a standard CAT5 cable to complete the link.
2.6 Real Time Clock Operation
The Real Time Clock (RTC) on the Ethernet/RTC/MP3 Shield is an NXP PCF2123 device. This is an SPI
peripheral accessed via the SPI Master on the Vinco baseboard. RTC, SPI Master and GPIO drivers are
available with the Vinculum-II Toolchain at VNC2 IDE to allow user applications access to the RTC Shield.
The device provides time and date information, allowing a possible mechanism to timestamp files
accessed with the Vinco base board on a USB memory device.
Time resolution is days, hours, minutes, seconds.
The calendar supports weekdays, months, years.
The RTC supports alarm and countdown timer functions.
Note: the board must be powered at all time to prevent the RTC losing its data.

2.7 Audio Codec Operation
The audio codec is the VLSI VS1053b. This will allow encoded audio files in MP3 format to be decoded to
analogue for playback over headphones or a speaker.
Figure 2.2 – SPI Master communicates with VS1053b via the SPI bus
RTC, SPI Master and GPIO drivers are available with the Vinculum-II Toolchain at VNC2 IDE to allow data
transfer over the SPI interface to the VNC2 on the Vinco baseboard.
Additionally the VS1053b can accept analogue audio from a MIC to be encoded for transfer over SPI to
the VNC2 on the Vinco baseboard. In theory the Vinco could then be used to save the encoded audio file
on a USB memory device for playback later, or possibly transfer over Ethernet to a second device for
playback using the Ethernet chip on this shield.
NOTE: At the time of writing this document, the current driver does not support audio recording.

4 Firmware
Firmware libraries and sample applications code to demonstrate using this Shield with the Vinco
baseboard are available for download with the VNC2 IDE from Toolchain revision 1.4.2 onwards (VNC2
tools). Please refer to section 3 of AN_142 Vinculum-II Tool Chain Getting Started Guide or section 4 of
AN_138 Vinculum-II Debug Interface on how to load, build, program and debug the sample applications
on the VNC2 device.
4.1 Ethernet Sample Application
There are 2 ethernet sample applications called TCP.vproj and UDP.vproj. Both applications
demonstrarate the use of the Ethernet library and the Vinco Shield.
4.1.1 TCP Sample Application
The “TCP” application turns the Vinco board into a TCP server that accepts incoming connections. When a
connected client sends a message “On!” to the Vinco board, the on-board LED1 is turned on and a
message “LED On!” is sent back to the client. When the client sends a message “Off!” to the Vinco board,
the on-board LED1 is turned off and a message “LED Off!” is sent back to the client.
Setup:This application uses the Ethernet/MP3/RTC shield mated with the Vinco module and a Host PC
installed with the VNC2 IDE. The Vinco module consists of a J7 connector which connects with the
VNC2 debugger/programmer module, (also available from FTDI), this allows the IDE running on the PC to
communicate with the VNC2 debugger port. The debugger module can also be used to load/program the
ROM file created by the IDE into the VNC2 Flash memory.
Depending on the local network configuration, an Ethernet switch or router may be needed to connect the
Ethernet/MP3/RTC Shield to the network via CN1, RJ45 Ethernet connector. The PC should also be
installed with a TCP client software (such as Tera Term) and connected to the network to send messages
to the board. If Tera Term is used, the settings should be set as follow:
Host: < The IP address of the Ethernet shield in the network >
Service: Other
TCP port: 80
Protocol: IPv4
Please note that no external circuit is needed to run this application
4.1.2 UDP Sample Application
The “UDP” sample application configures the Vinco board to accept incoming UDP connection. When a
peer sends a message "On" to the Vinco board, the on-board LED1 is turned on and the message "LED
On!" is sent back to the sender. When the peer sends the message "Off" to the Vinco board, the on-board
LED1 is turned off and the message "LED Off!" is send back to the sender.
Setup:This application uses the Ethernet/MP3/RTC shield mated with the Vinco module and a Host PC
installed with the VNC2 IDE. The Vinco module consists of a J7 connector which connects with the
VNC2 debugger/programmer module, (also available from FTDI), this allows the IDE running on the PC to
communicate with the VNC2 debugger port. The debugger module can also be used to load the rom file
created by the IDE into the VNC2 chip.
Depending on the local network configuration, an Ethernet switch or router may be needed to connect the
Ethernet/MP3/RTC Shield to the network via CN1, RJ45 Ethernet connector. The PC should also be
installed with a UDP client software (such as UDP Win Chat) and connected to the network to send
messages to the board. Please note that no external circuit is needed to run this application.

4.2 MP3 Sample Application
An “MP3” sample application called “MP3FlashDisk.vproj” demonstrates how to play songs (MP3 and
WMA) from a FAT-formatted USB flash drive. The application automatically find MP3 and WMA files in the
root directory of the flash drive and plays them one after another. Currently the application only plays
back the first 25 songs found. This limit can be changed by adjusting the macro MAX SONG count in
MP3FlashDisk.c. Due to a limit in the SPI transfer speed, only songs at 96kbps or lower can be played
smoothly. Three push buttons can be attached to emulate an MP3 player – see example
in 4.1.
Setup:This application uses the Ethernet/MP3/RTC Shield mated with the Vinco module, a flash drive
connected to the CN2 (USB port 2) connector on the Vinco module and a Host PC with the installed VNC2
IDE. The Ethernet/MP3/RTC Shield also has a CN2 connector to allow the user to connect headsphones
onto it. The Vinco module consists of a J7 connector which connects with the VNC2
debugger/programmer module, (also available from FTDI), this allows the IDE running on the PC to
communicate with the VNC2 debugger port. The debugger module can also be used to load the rom file
created by the IDE into the VNC2 chip.
Three push buttons can be attached as follows to emulate the MP3 player:

SW1 is used to play/pause and skip songs:
Short press (> 0.1s and < 0.8s): play/pause
Long press (>0.8s): skip to the next song
SW2 is used to control volume:
Short press (> 0.1s and < 0.8s): decrease volume
Long press (>0.8s): increase volume
SW3 is used to control volume:
Short press (> 0.1s and < 0.8s): fast forward
Long press (>0.8s): rewind
Since a long button press takes about 0.8s to be recognized, the program will delay for about 0.8s since
a button is pressed to verify if it is a short press or a long press. Hence there will be a delay of about 0.8s
since the button is press before the operation is performed. As a result, even for short presses, two
consecutive presses should still be about 1s apart from each other (i.e. do not press too fast). The use of
an external power supply (provided with the purchase of Vinco) is recommended.
4.3 RTC Sample Application
The “RTC” sample application called “RTCExample.vproj” demonstrarates the use of the NXP PCF2123
Real Time Clock to set/read the time and start a countdown timer.
Setup:This application uses the Ethernet/MP3/RTC Shield mated with the Vinco module and a Host PC
with the installed VNC2 IDE. The Vinco module consists of a J7 connector which connects with the
VNC2 debugger/programmer module, (also available from FTDI), this allows the IDE running on the PC to
communicate with the VNC2 debugger port. It also used to load the rom file created by the IDE into the
VNC2 chip.
