USB Host and USB OTG
The ConnectCore for i.MX51 provides three USB Host interfaces and one USB On-The-Go (OTG)
interface. These interfaces conform to the USB 2.0 specification, the OTG supplement, and the ULPI
specification.
In addition to the normal USB functionality, the module also supports direct connections to on-board
USB peripherals using serial or ULPI protocol. It also has serial/ULPI bypass mode connection and
support for multiple interface types of ULPI and serial transceivers.
Main features of the USB Host interfaces:
n High-speed/full-speed/low-speed host
n HS/FS ULPI compliant interface
n Software configurable for full-speed/low-speed interface for serial transceivers
n Full-speed transceiverless link logic (FS-TLL) for on board connection to a FS/LS USB peripheral
n High-speed ULPI transceiverless link logic (HS-TLL) for onboard connection to a high- speed
ULPI interface USB peripheral
Main features of the USB OTG interface:
n High-speed OTG
n HS/FS ULPI compliant interface
n Software configurable for ULPI or serial transceiver interface
n High-speed (with ULPI transceiver), full-speed, and low-speed operation in host mode
n High-speed (with ULPI transceiver), and full-speed operation in peripheral mode
n Hardware support for OTG signaling, session request protocol, and host negotiation protocol
n Up to 8 bidirectional endpoints
WLAN
In addition to the on-module Ethernet interface, the ConnectCore for i.MX51 module can also provide
an optional 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN interface with data rates up to 54 Mb/s on the a/b/g band and up to
65 Mb/s on the n band.
Two U.FL antenna connectors are provided on the module.
