Fiber Distributed Data Interface is a network technology that works on the OSI model's physical and data link layer. It derives its transmission protocol from IEEE 802. 4 and follows the ANSI standard X3T9. The FIP provides one high-speed (100-Mbps) FDDI port. FDDI is defined by four separate specifications: Media Access Control (MAC)---Defines how the medium is accessed. This page contains the VCP drivers currently available for FTDI devices. The FDDI will operate at up to two hundred megab ts per second and is designed to be fault tolerant. Currently, the predominant implementation for FDDI networks is in the role of a corporate backbone. The departmental networks in the company attach to the FDDI backbone for high-speed data transfer between. FDDI is frequently used as a backbone technology as well as a means to connect high-speed computers in a local area.

ST-4 is an interface you will come across using astronomy equipment with some form of computer control. It might be as an ST-4 socket on a mount, a socket on the back of an astronomy camera, or an interface on some other form of guiding device such as an AstroHutech Hinode Solar Guider. If you are using one of ST's official Nucleo or Discovery boards, you do not have to connect an external debugger. With ST-4 you have to calibrate near your target. The ST-4 Port is present on some computerized mounts and it is easy to add one to motorized mounts like the EQ3 / EQ4 / EQ5. It supports the SWIM and JTAG/SWD interfaces for communication with any STM8 or STM32 microcontroller. To upload a program to a chip from Thomson Semiconductor you need an ST-Link programmer device to connect your PC. Thompson sells branded programmers, adaptors and cables. We'll use an inexpensive ST-LinkV2.
