Binho: Buy in India

A MIPI I3C exerciser covering spec versions v1.0, v1.1.1, and v1.2. Binho specifies 12.5 MHz I3C in SDR mode and HDR-DDR, with In-Band Interrupts, Hot-Join, and all CCCs, and an I3C role of Controller or Target so the same instrument can drive a bus of targets or present itself as one. I3C signalling spans 0.8 V to 3.3 V; the I2C, SPI, UART, and GPIO pins run 1.2 V to 3.3 V. Mission Control for interactive bus exploration, plus Python, C, C++, and C# SDKs for automated test integration.

A USB host adapter in a machined-aluminum enclosure with a 50 MHz SPI controller (4x CS, all four modes), a 1 MHz I2C controller with configurable pull-ups, UART at 115200 baud with hardware flow control, and a half-duplex RS-485 interface rated -7 V to +12 V common-mode for Indian Modbus RTU work. Six configurable GPIO pins, USB 2.0 High Speed at 480 Mbps, and programmable downstream power from 1.2 V to 3.3 V. Binho publishes CAN-FD, 1-Wire, SPI/I2C Peripheral modes, I2C 10-bit addressing, and GPIO PWM as coming soon, so treat those as roadmap.

Binho's first-generation multi-protocol adapter, listed by Binho with I2C up to 3.4 MHz (high-speed I2C), SPI up to a 12 MHz max clock speed, UART up to 1 Mbps, and 1-Wire, plus 5x shared GPIO pins at 3.3 V logic, powered directly from USB. The Nova is the entry point for embedded teams that need one USB tool for sensor bring-up, EEPROM and SPI flash work, UART console access, and 1-Wire device enumeration. Binho has not retired it: newer models offer expanded capabilities, but Binho describes the Nova as remaining "a reliable and cost-effective solution".

Binho also publishes a licensed I3C Basic℠ Protocol Analyzer plugin for Saleae Logic, which Binho introduces as "the first I3C Basic℠ Protocol Analyzer for firmware development and embedded systems testing". It decodes I3C Basic spec v1.0, v1.1, v1.1.1, and v1.2 at 12.5 MHz in SDR and HDR-DDR, covering direct and broadcast CCC decoding, In-Band Interrupts, Hot-Join requests, and private read and write, at both byte and transaction level, with real-time decoding and HLA support. Binho lists compatibility with Saleae Logic Pro 8, Logic Pro 16, and Logic 8. It is licensed software, offered under Flex Licensing (shared among team members, internet connection required) or Node-Locked Licensing (locked to specific computers, works offline), not a free download.

Binho's point-and-click host adapter software, currently in Public Preview. Mission Control 3 gives you one workbench to drive hardware over I2C, SPI, I3C, and GPIO from a single interface, composing and sequencing transactions without writing code. A visual hex editor memory programmer handles I2C EEPROMs and SPI flash, with read, write, verify, blank-check, and erase operations, binary file load and save, and transaction logging. It runs in a web browser with no installation, or as a native app on Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Linux. Existing Supernova and Pulsar customers get it free of charge after a firmware update, and it comes included with new units.
