I have some hardware questions about the Promira Serial Platform.  I am using two of the GPIO (pins 14 and 15) as DO (data output). Are they both open-collector pins?  Will I need to add pull-up resistors to my test board?

Think about living in the 1950s. Color television was introduced. The auto industry was experimenting with their new concept of “the sports car.” And the medical industry was making its biggest strides to date. The antibiotic erythromycin was launched commercially by Eli Lilly; Jonas Salk announced his polio vaccine, the first open-heart surgery was performed using the heart-lung machine developed by John H. Gibbon Jr. and the FDA approved BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) as a food preservative. (Coincidentally, McDonald’s was franchised that same year.)

While any computer is running, it creates thermal energy which heats up the system. When it comes to creating efficient computers and embedded systems, every engineer can explain the importance of ensuring that the devices operate at the correct temperature. When embedded systems become too hot, electrical signals may become corrupted, the hardware can become damaged or less efficient and the temperature may just render the software inoperable. With the Internet of Things becoming more prevalent, embedded devices need to be work in a way that is so seamless that we may not even realize when they are working. However, if thermal management systems are not in place, embedded systems will be more pain than they may be worth. Because of this, engineers have made thermal management an important part of every embedded system that they create.

I have a question about using the Advanced Cable Tester v2.

I am using the Promira Serial Platform to communicate on my SPI bus.  I’m using the SPI Active - Level 2 Application. I need to perform an SPI dual bit mode write at 20MHz as a master. The specifications show I can do this – I’d like to find out more about the flexibility and programmability.

I’m using the Beagle I2C/SPI Protocol Analyzer and need to save long message logs for analysis, a minimum of 24 hours. The buffer receives 12.5MB of data per minute. To log 24 hours nonstop, I would be storing 22.5GB of previous data in volatile RAM.  I would prefer to store the data logs on internal hard drive or external thumb drive.

I’m working with an SPI device where I need to change modes between sample and setup. I’m using the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter. How do I change the clock polarity (CPOL) and clock phase and CPHA?

I will be using my Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter as an I2C slave to send a response to the request sent from the Master.  My question is can I use my Aardvark adapter as multiple I2C Slaves with different slave addresses? Some requirements:

Can we use the Komodo CAN Solo Interface to send Remote Transmission Request (RTR) to another CAN device?  My colleagues have been trying with a CAN interface on their processor connected to the Komodo interface, but so far, there has been no response. How can we set it up so it works

I just purchased your Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter, and I have a question. I need to read from an I2C device, using Repeated Start Condition and 7 bit addressing.  Does the Aardvark adapter support this?
