Fm+ development kit OM13320
9. Third-party
tools
Generation, inspection and logging of I
2
C-bus data is easily achieved with third-party
development tools from a number of suppliers: SB Solutions, Inc. (
www.i2ctools.com
) and
Total Phase (
www.totalphase.com
).
SB Solutions supplies a range of tools driven from USB and outputs to I
2
C and SPI. The
user interface is very similar to the Fm+ Development Board GUI, and a DLL is provided
for custom development. These tools are not supplied in the kit, and must be purchased
directly from the vendor.
Total Phase supplies two tools called Aardvark (host adapter) and Beagle (bus logger)
that connect directly to the Fm+ Development Board (OM13260). These tools are not
supplied in the kit, and must be purchased directly from the vendor.
