Q: I am using the Aardvark host adapter to program 32MB SPI Flash. The write throughput is much slower than expected, 800KHz instead of 1KB/s. At this speed, it takes about two hours to program a Flash. How can I accelerate the bit rate?
A: Thanks for your question! The Aardvark adapter operates at bit rates up to 8MHz as an SPI master and 4...

We just got back from Renesas DevCon 2010 in Anaheim, California. It was a very exciting show with approximately 750 attendees and exhibitors. Our very own engineers taught a class on how to use debugging tools with Renesas microcontrollers (MCUs) and we were happy to see the class overflowing with attendees. Thank you to everyone who attended!...
