Hello everyone!
So I was about to buy the Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter; however before heading to the shop. I made a little and quick research and I found the following tool: Binho Nova: Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter.
I'm impressed with Binho Nova specifications (higher interface frequencies for SPI and I2C than Aardvark, plus UART, 1-wirea nd ATMEL SWI interfaces support).
I would like to know if anyone of you had the opportunity to work with these two tools and could share his/her opinion?
BTW, the Binho nova is ~30% cheaper that the Aardvark in my region.
I'll list the key features for both tools:
Aardvark I2C/SPI Host Adapter
● I2C master and slave up to 800 kHz†
● I2C multi-master support
● SPI master up to 8 MHz
● SPI slave up to 4 MHz

● Display Data Channel (DDC)
● System Management Bus (SMBus)
● Power Management Bus (PMBus)
● Smart Battery Bus (SBBus)
● ntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
● Two-Wire Interface (TWI)
