In embedded systems, a memory device is a physical device that is able to store data that can be used to communicate or perform a certain function. Memory devices can be interfaced through multiple different serial protocols, including SPI, or Serial Peripheral Interface. There are multiple different types of SPI memory devices used in embedded systems, including Flash memory and EEPROMs. In this article, we’ll provide a background on their relationship and a comparison between the two.

The Promira Serial Platform is Total Phase’s premier I2C and SPI development tool that is capable of advancing multiple projects and applications, including product development and production processes. Depending on the Promira Serial Platform I2C or SPI application, this tool supports more advanced features compared to other host adapter tools including:

A host adapter, also known as a "controller" or "bus interface", is an active device that acts as an interface between a host system, like a computer, and peripheral devices. It allows the host system to interact with a device, where engineers can actively communicate over the bus using a communication protocol such as I2C or SPI.

I am analyzing a device that supports NVMe MI 1.1, which also supports five Control Primitives.

In this week's blog post, we're taking a closer look at the history of embedded operating systems. We'll flesh out the differences between embedded and computer OS and their applications, describe the impact of hardware and software industry development on embedded operating systems and investigate the diversity of embedded operating systems that are deployed around the world today.

I am starting to use the Advanced Cable Tester v2. I find the signal integrity eye diagrams easy to understand. The diagrams make sense to me as they correlate with the scope measurements in the lab.

The Promira Serial Platform is Total Phase’s most versatile and powerful tool with a breadth of capabilities to support advanced I2C, SPI, eSPI, and A2B applications.

I’m looking at the A2B Bus Monitor - Level 1 Application for an audio system.  I have some questions:

Digital signal processing (DSP) represents an exciting area of computer science and a world of possibilities for engineers designing new embedded system products. DSP technology uses specially designed programs and algorithms to manipulate analog signals and produce a signal that is higher-quality, less prone to degradation or easier to transmit.
