Introduction
The Linx QS Series USB module allows the rapid addition of USB to
virtually any device. The Master Development System is intended to give a
designer all the tools necessary to incorporate the module into a product.
This guide will show how to take full advantage of the development board
included with the kit. Data guides for all of the Linx parts contained in the
kit are included or may be downloaded from the Linx website. The Master
Development System serves several important functions:
• Rapid Module Evaluation: It allows the module's performance and
features to be quickly evaluated.
• Application Development: It comes with application software and
source code that demonstrate how to interface the module with a
computer. This source code can serve as a starting point for the
development of the product's software.
• Design: It shows how to design with the module and how to interface
with other components.
• Prototyping: It allows for additional circuitry to be placed directly on
the board so that it can act as the first prototype of the product. All of
the signals are available on a wire-wrap header for easy connection to
external circuitry.
The Master Development System Includes 1 development board, 2 QS
Series USB modules*, 1 software CD and full documentation.
*One part is soldered to the board, one extra is for use on your first prototype board
