We are using the Cheetah SPI Host Adapter to program ICs on our test bed. In many cases, two ICs are designated to receive exactly the same data. These ICs are the same SPI devices. To save time, instead of programming ICs one by one, we would like to program these devices simultaneously. The Cheetah adapter may be fast, but we would like to make this process run faster using one Cheetah adapter.

For engineers that approach embedded systems design from a hardware background, configuring software for embedded systems can pose a significant challenge. Those with experience and know-how in software engineering will still need to adapt their software design and programming methodologies to meet the unique requirements of embedded systems design.

From Dress up your Pet Day to Squirrel Appreciation Day, the list of creative holidays never ceases to amaze. Today, in case you didn’t know is Macintosh Computer day so we get to spend a moment to appreciate Apple Macintosh computers.

I am trying to use Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter and the Flash Center Software to program an I2C device, but it keeps failing because the bus is locked as shown below.

USB Type-C is known for being a powerful yet flexible connector. It brings multiple different capabilities to the user including its ability to bidirectionally transmit both data and video protocols at rapid speeds and support up to 100W of power using the Power Delivery (PD) protocol. Essentially, USB Type-C is a connector that can support a variety of different functions, speeds, and power levels, but it’s not always clear what its capabilities are when used with other devices, as not every Type-C cable is made equal.

We are using the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter as an I2C slave to test a master I2C port on another device. It appears the Aardvark adapter uses clock stretching while it is configured as a slave. Can you tell us what causes clock stretching?  When should we expect to see that feature occur?

We live in a period of intense and concentrated technological change, to the extent that we sometimes lose perspective on just how quickly things around us are transforming for the future. If we think about the life-changing technologies that we interact with on a daily basis, many of them were likely not present in the marketplace as recently as ten or twenty years ago.

Biometrics and neurofeedback take part in many roles of our daily lives: personal health, professional medical evaluations, self-care at home, and video games. This article discusses some of the ways this information is used.

Throughout the years, the SuperSpeed USB specification has undergone many changes due to its support for increased bit rates and implementation of a multi-lane operation. However, the ongoing rebranding efforts to keep with these changes has oftentimes caused confusion in the industry.
