Hi,
is it available any LA sw plug-in to decode (or Inverse assemble) for Serial Peripheral Interface bus (SPI) ?
I have some set-up with DAC (dig-to-analog converter) and Flash memory which needs to be debugged
(both are SPI).
Thanks

You have 2 ways you can go with this.
- An optional (for pay) SW tool, called B4602A Signal Extractor, that will extract the serial SPI data, and display it as parallel SPI data. It won't do any protocol decode. The list price is about $2900. Information is in the LA help file.
- A separate HW tool from Advanced Logical Devices (www.ald.com) that will convert the serial data stream to parallel, in hardware, allowing triggering, etc.
The HW solution is much better, and less expensive. Since it uses HW to parallelize the data it uses LA memory much more efficiently, and basic triggering is available.
If you have a specific protocol in mind on SPI that you want to decode, there is another optional SW tool, B4641A Protocol Development Kit. It allows you build write a decoder for your protocol. Used in conjunction with the ALD HW, it will allow protocol-level triggering on SPI 'packets'. It costs about $3900. Information on this is also in the LA help file.
