How to Create and Add a Custom Flash Part to The Flash Center Software Library
|
The Flash Center Software allows users to quickly erase, program, and verify EEPROM and Flash memory chips that are interfaced through the Promira Serial Platform, Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter, and Cheetah SPI Host Adapter. This software not only natively supports hundreds of commonly used I2C- and SPI-based EEPROM and Flash memory chips, it also allows users to easily add in their own custom Flash device to the part library if is not already available.
Adding a custom flash memory part is easy and can be done in two easy steps:
1. Create a part file using a similar preexisting XML part file
2. Upload the new custom XML part file into the software For complete step-by-step instructions on how these steps can be performed, please visit our App Note: How to Create and Add a Custom Flash Part to Flash Center Software Library

Control Center Serial Software Series: Using Multi I/O SPI Master Mode
|
The Control Center Serial Software offers numerous ways to interface and access all features of Total Phase host adapter tools, including reading and writing to I2C and SPI devices.
Multi I/O SPI Master Mode in the Control Center Serial Software allows users to emulate a dual or quad SPI master device. How can this function be configured? Read the full blog below to learn more: Control Center Serial Software Series: Using Multi I/O SPI Master Mode

Advanced Cable Tester v2 Adapter Testing Overview
|
While USB Type-C is becoming increasingly adopted by manufacturers and consumers, complete adoption will take time as legacy USB connectors, including USB Standard-A and USB Micro-B, still have a large installed base. During this transition, legacy adapters will provide connectivity between the new Type-C ports and existing peripherals. The Advanced Cable Tester v2 is able to verify the safety and performance of Type-C legacy adapters, including tests for DC Resistance and Signal Integrity. The purpose of this white paper is to review best practices for testing the suitability and quality of these adapters.

Nice programming tool. Easy to use - I have my boards laid out to accept the connector. Been using them for many years now.
