Hi all!

I Have a Bf532 EVB. I want to Provide USB interface to BF532 For transferring data from system
to Board ...

I am Not Expert in USB protocol...I just Know Details about USB protocol

As BF532 is not having USB interface, I have got some choices to Provide USB connectivity to My
board...

USB to RS232 and USB to SPI chips i don't want to use Because they will not Provide less Speed

My Choices
1.USB to FIFO chips (FTDI245,NET2272....etc)
2.Interfacing Microcontroller Having USB interface Like Cypress EZ-USB FX1/2 or PIC18F2550

I have seen FTDI245BM and CYPRESS EZ-USB FX1/2 are having Hardware Interface Simpler,But I
don't about the Support they will Provide and the SOftware Side

These Chips I want to interface to any of 4 ASYNCHRONOUS Memory Banks Provided in BF532..and I
want to Use BUS Switch to Disconnect DATA And ADDRESS Buses when not used by these chips..

I want Suggestion about these choices 
I mean which one will be better to use and 
If any other way is there to provide the USB Connectivity to the BF532   

Thank U

I've used the FTDI245 and had good luck with it.  Both Linux and Windows
OS's have built in drivers so that is easy.  From the processor side it
looks like an 8 bit FIFO.  You'll need to look at it as a single address
or you can put the control signals on a different address than the data.

I'm not familiar with the other chips so I can't say anything about a
comparison.

Patience, persistence, truth,
