Product Details
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial communication interface specification used for short-distance communication, primarily in embedded systems
As a part of product validation, it’s important to validate the product’s conformance against the protocol specification to ensure the interoperability of the product. As the complexity of the protocol and product increases, the validation time of the protocol interfaces also increases which in turn reduces the RTM. Performing the protocol conformance testing in the traditional way needs a lot of time and effort.
Soliton’s SPI Validation Suite is an off-the-shelf validation tool using NI’s PXI platform, which helps to validate the devices’ compliance with the timing and electrical specifications of the SPI protocol. The tool can also validate the device’s tolerance to and recovery from a variety of SPI faults & exceptions and provides a comprehensive set of reports. Users have claimed that using this automated solution for SPI Validation has brought down the test time/ validation time from few days to few hours.
Peek and Poke GUI for exercise and debug the SPI communication manually. User can configure any allowed timing/voltage parameters to debug the transactions.
