Question from the Customer:

I am using the Promira Serial Platform to communicate on my SPI bus. I want to send SPI frames at 10 MHz and I would like to play with the time between the slave select (SS) line and the first clock (CLK) slope. For example, I want to send the same SPI frame with various SS to CLK times.

Is that possible? How would I...

The new A²B Bus Monitor Application for the Promira Serial Platform^® provides automotive audio engineers an easy-to-use web interface to non-intrusively monitor Analog Devices' Automotive Audio Bus (A²B).

One of the key benefits is seeing the levels of all upstream and downstream digital audio channels simultaneously. Live audio on the A²B bus...

Before we delve into the technicalities of serial communication protocols, let’s talk about communication in general.  We already know that communication involves the exchange of information between two or more individuals. Communication can take place in various ways – through written documents, spoken words, audio tapes, video lessons a...

Question from the Customer:
We’re considering purchasing the Promira Serial Platform with SPI Active - Level 1 Application. We like the USB connectivity, Labview support, and adjustable voltage features - now we have some questions about GPIO.

• Can we use GPIOs on Promira as data lines?
• Our application is not SPI; we are looking for one CLK o...

With each passing day, embedded system designs are becoming more complex as they require increasing data transfer rates, shorter cycle times, and other requirements.

Embedded systems engineers are required to sort out signal integrity issues quickly to speed up the development life cycle. You might already be aware that modern serial data links...

Question from the Customer:

I have a project where I need to compare the temperatures of two separate devices in the same environment.  I’m looking to use the Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer to collect and plot the data. How can I best capture and view the data?

Response from Technical Support:

Thank you for your questions!  You can easily...

The term packet sniffer might sound a little fishy and suspicious, but it isn’t anything like that. In network management, packet sniffing plays a very crucial role. Network managers and technicians use packet sniffers to diagnose underlying problems in their networks. So, a packet sniffer is essentially a tool that aids in monitoring network...

Question from the Customer:

I have a Komodo CAN Duo Interface and I could use your help. I have a function that does de-initialization. I see km_close() returns 1 instead of KM_OK. Is this expected? What does the return value of 1 tell me?

Also, I’m trying to figure out what the proper sequence for de-initializing everything -- open, acquire, ...

Features like interoperability and simple connectivity have led to the widespread use of USB protocol in embedded systems of almost all types. Despite the advantages, USB protocol in itself is quite complex. Quite naturally, detecting and isolating the source of a problem within the system might be a daunting task for an embedded systems enginee...
