Interfacing with 40 pin HAT connector (GPIO/I2C/SPI/UART) on UP/UP Squared Board with Labview

[Amar47]

I am looking for a DAQ system compatible with testing my board. The main requirements are:

• Checking UART, SPI, and I2C protocols
• Monitoring ADCs and GPIOs
• Performing voltage and current measurements

Could you please recommend a suitable DAQ system for these needs

I have never heard of the UP line, pretty cool little SBC's there...

Are you testing the UP itself or an addon board you made? i ask because if you ar testing the UP itself and the UP can run Windows (they are Intel based) you could conceivably write a "self test" program in LabVIEW that runs on the UP.

Anyway You need to come up with a list of the number ADC's and DIO's you need to simultaneously monitor. The voltage and current ranges you need to measure. Then look here: https://www.ni.com/en/shop/data-acquisition.html maybe start with the "how to chose" section and find the DAQ system that fits your requirements.

Please define "testing" in the context of the protocols, do you just want to communicate with your board to ensure it works? or more than that?

I haven't got the HAT on the UP Squared sorted out yet, but I can give you some direction with my current work around.
- NI USB-600x OEM for DAQ
- FTID FT232H for UART/JTAG/SPI/I2C

- FTDI F232R just for UART

The USB-600x:

- 8x Analog Inputs, +/- 10V 

- 2x Analog Outputs, +/- 10V 

- 13 Digital I/O, configurable 

FTDI FT232H has some support for LabView on their website.

All of the above also works in Python.

Hope this helps.
