The I2C/SPI Activity Board is a perfect tool for both the expert and novice embedded systems developer. This board offers known-good target devices that allow users to more easily differentiate between hardware and software bugs. It is also useful to establish a baseline for software usage. The target devices on the activity board are also a great way for the novice developer to learn the mechanics of the I2C and SPI bus protocols.
