In the decades since the Central Processing Unit, or CPU, has been invented and developed, engineers have made several advancements and have incorporated several important features to include in its architecture, enabling the CPU to process data as efficiently as possible. Over time, two prominent architectures have emerged for introducing instruction sets to the CPU - these are known as RISC and CISC. RISC focuses on simplicity, and employs a smaller set of highly optimized instructions to enhance speed and efficiency. Conversely, CISC embraces complexity, and offers a broad range of instructions capable of executing multifaceted tasks in fewer steps. Understanding the differences, advantages, and disadvantages of RISC and CISC is crucial for engineers and developers when determining the best architecture for their specific needs.

I am using the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter for developing related SMBus functions, including (ARP). I found some information about using the Aardvark adapter with SMBus protocols, but I could use more details. Is additional information available?

I am using an Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter that will be connected to the SMBus of a power monitor that is embedded in a circuit board. Here is the planned setup:
