Arch Pro ? Arch Max ? USB Device, host and Ethernet ?
Hi everyone
So I've got a quick question. I need a board for a project which will be able to read a mouse signal, transmit it to a computer and finally communicate with a server connected via Ethernet. What should I chose ? I'd say Arch Max, but do all the capacities work ? I read somewhere that some of the libraries don't work for the moment. Thank you in advance

The Arch Pro will fit your need. It has good USB Host and Ethernet support. The Arch Max has not been supported by the USBHost library yet.
Now the official USBHost library hasn't been updated in years. But with what I expect some minor changes https://developer.mbed.org/users/va009039/code/F401RE-USBHost/ should work on the Arch Max. (I expect at most that some clock settings need to be modified). Something which might be nice for Seeed to do ;).

The LPC4088 has two USB ports, but I don't think they are both supported within mbed.
