Fairport, New York (February 2, 2017) Vanteon Corporation, an electronic systems design and engineering company, has recently made a new embedded code programming tool available to its expanding client base. The tool, which goes by the name SPI Stick v3, offers a unique ability to program the embedded processors, DSPs, and FPGAs on electronic PCBs during manufacturing or field updates.

The SPI Stick, a keychain sized device, downloads the desired embedded device code, referred to as the “firmware”, via a mini-USB port connected to a PC.  The device is then easily carried to the manufacturing floor, field site, or anywhere the target system PC Board is located.  The SPI Stick is simply plugged into a port which implements the SPI bus interface on the target board, and a fully automated process of uploading the new or updated firmware is initiated.

Feedback received from Vanteon’s clients using SPI Stick is that it is the simplest, easiest and least expensive way to load code or perform a field upgrade of their electronic products that they have experienced.

SPI Stick v3 units are now available for immediate delivery as a stocked Vanteon product. 

Nick Oddo, Sr. Project Manager at Vanteon, states, “We are always looking for ways to make the sometimes complex technical details of delivering or upgrading embedded code simple and worry-free for our customers.  SPI Stick is just the ticket to provide a low cost, no-hassle experience.”
