Last week we wrapped up another USB-IF Compliance Workshop – “Plugfest” – in Portland. This was the 100th event, quite a huge milestone. The first event I attended was in the year 2000 or so in Milpitas, technology goals have certainly advanced since then!
Even compared to a year ago, the USB world is in a much different place. Type-C/...
Communication protocols are central to how we understand and develop embedded systems and devices. A communication protocol is a defined system that allows two or more entities in a communications system to talk to each other.

Can I set up my Aardvark adapter to emulate multiple I2C slave devices each with separate slave addresses? My setup is simple:
As engineers, we all want the best product, but this often comes at a price. When you implement a new platform or device, there’s always a chance that it won’t work, that it won’t be quite what you expected, or, at the very least, that it just won’t do the job well enough. However, sometimes things can turn out worse than just a produc...

Leading the industry to improve data transactions with less power and lower cost, Intel is defining the eSPI standard, which many manufacturers – at the chip, board and system levels – are integrating in their products.
The eSPI (enhanced serial peripheral interface) is a serial bus that is based on SPI. The features include a four-wire in...
