Does anyone know how to use the USB to communicate with PC (Windows OS) for file transfer? or let the windows os see this device as a usb storage? I am trying to have this device communicate with windows PC over USB port, rather than RS-232 or TCP/IP.

You may use the USB connector on the board (I think it is J17). When you connect it to a Windows OS, it appears as a network card. You will need the driver (cdc_ether in Linux).

Once the "network card" is detected, configure it to a small LAN (fixed ip's in the same range) and you will have it connected. Then you can use FTP to transfer files, telnet, ssh, etc.

Thanks for the information. However, please let me know where to download this application (cdc_ether in Linux)? and which directory to install? how to run during startup? Thanks.

The kernel has a USB gadget driver that allows the SBC to appear as a USB storage device through the USB device port.  Re-configure the kernel with the gadget driver enabled and recompile.  The Windows desktop should recognize the USB storage when connected.
