I2C, SPI, and UART are commonly used as means for communication between devices within an embedded system due to their simplicity and ease of operation. While they all accomplish a similar goal of sending data, they each have many differences as well as advantages and disadvantages to consider when choosing which to use.
First, w...

Question from the Customer:
I am looking at the specifications and user manuals of the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and Level Shifter Board, and I have some questions about these devices.
Is looks like the Aardvark adapter has 2 .2k pullup resistors connected to +3.3V. Are these resistors always active, or are they enabled by softwar...
Flash memory is widely used to store data and code used in embedded systems. It is a non-volatile storage medium, meaning that it can retain data without a power supply. Flash memory can be electrically erased and reprogrammed and it erases data in units called blocks and rewrites data at the by...
Question from the Customer:
I am using the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and Control Center Serial Software with an SMBus Smart Battery NH2054 and a Smart Battery Charger. With the results that I see, I am uncertain which device is the master and which devices are slaves.
Here is what I see:
