=== USB to SPI adapters ===
There are a number of [[USB]] adapters that allow a desktop [[Personal computer|PC]] or [[smartphone]] with [[USB]] to communicate with SPI chips (e.g. [[FTDI|FT]]221xs<ref>{{cite web |title=USB to SPI converter |url=https://ftdichip.com/products/ft221xs/ |access-date=14 February 2021 |website=FTDI|date=2 August 2020 }}</ref>). They are used for embedded systems, chips ([[FPGA]], [[Application-specific integrated circuit|ASIC]], and [[System on a chip|SoC]]) and peripheral testing, programming and debugging. Many of them also provide scripting or programming capabilities (e.g. [[Visual Basic]], [[C (programming language)|C]]/[[C++]], [[VHDL]]).
The key SPI parameters are: the maximum supported frequency for the serial interface, command-to-command latency, and the maximum length for SPI commands. It is possible to find SPI adapters on the market today that support up to 100 MHz serial interfaces, with virtually unlimited access length.
