The quarantines are forcing an increasing number of engineers and tech employees to work from home (WFH). With Digilent Digital Discovery, engineers can debug digital systems from home to continue the hardware and software development.

Digilent Digital Discovery is a USB Logic Analyzer, Protocol Analyzer and Pattern Generator. Driven by the free WaveForms software application, Digital Discovery can be configured to be the following instruments:
 
  1. 24-channel digital logic analyzer (1.2…3.3V CMOS, up to 800MS/s (with the High-Speed Adapter))
  2. 16-channel pattern generator (1.2…3.3V CMOS, 100MS/s)
  3. 16-channel virtual digital I/O including buttons, switches, and LEDs – perfect for logic training applications
  4. A programmable power supply of 1.2…3.3V/100mA. The same voltage supplies the Logic Analyzer input buffers and the Pattern Generator input/output buffers, for keeping the logic level compatibility with the circuit under test.
  5. Digital Bus Analyzers (SPI, I²C, UART, I2S, CAN, Parallel)

WaveForms Application Software
WaveForms features a computer and laptop friendly user interface that has the feel of traditional benchtop equipment. The software is compatible to Windows, Linux, MAC, and Raspberry Pi 4. The WaveForms Software Development Kit (SDK) provides libraries and examples in Python, C++, and more so that advanced users can build custom applications or automated test.

Decode the QSPI flash boot sequence through JavaScript
The speed of the QSPI transactions in the boot sequence is not always an evident specification. This application note uses the Digital Discovery and JavaScript to visualize the boot sequence and determine timing.
