ALFAT SoC processor is capable of accessing FAT file system files on
USB mass storage devices. The hardware provides two standard Full
Speed* USB 2.0 compatible host interfaces (USB0 and USB1) that
use the internal USB PHY. Only 22ohm resistors and USB host
connector is needed.
*Full-Speed USB 2.0 is 12mbps.

The boot loader is a piece of software that boots the system up. It verifies and runs ALFAT
firmware. Also It gives the hosting system an interface for firmware maintenance.
GHI Electronics regularly maintains ALFAT firmware with improvements and bug fixes.
ALFAT boot loader allows the hosting system to update the firmware.
The boot loader can only be accessed through the UART port and it uses XMODEM 1K to
transfer the firmware file to ALFAT. Boot Loader and firmware update section explain this in
more details.
