Hardware Overview
How does it work?
Adapter Click represents an adapter board that simplifies the connection of add-ons with IDC10 headers to the mikroBUS™ socket. One 2x5-position 2.54mm pitch header allows you to add sensors, drivers, and various components in a way that suits your project needs. Each header pin corresponds to a pin on the mikroBUS™ socket (except AN and RST pins). Thanks to these pins, the connection with the Click board™ remains firm and stable, always retaining a perfect connection quality. There are two ways to establish such a connection: male or female IDC10 connectors. Both
are provided with the package. You may solder the male IDC10 header on the top side of the Adapter Click and connect the add-on board directly or via IDC10 flat cable. In some cases, a female header socket is a better choice. Solder it either on the top or the bottom side, depending on which is more convenient in given circumstances. Adapter Click allows using both I2C and SPI interfaces, where each mikroBUS™ line is covered, except, as mentioned before, AN and RST lines. The selection can be made by positioning jumpers labeled as INTERFACE SELECTION in an appropriate
position marked as SPI or I2C. Note that all the jumpers' positions must be on the same side, or the Click board™ may become unresponsive. This Click board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the PWR SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. Also, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library containing easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used as a reference for further development.
Features overview
Development board
Fusion for TIVA v8 is a development board specially designed for the needs of rapid development of embedded applications. It supports a wide range of microcontrollers, such as different 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M based MCUs from Texas Instruments, regardless of their number of pins, and a broad set of unique functions, such as the first-ever embedded debugger/programmer over a WiFi network. The development board is well organized and designed so that the end-user has all the necessary elements, such as switches, buttons, indicators, connectors, and others, in one place. Thanks to innovative manufacturing technology, Fusion for TIVA v8 provides a fluid and immersive working experience, allowing access
anywhere and under any circumstances at any time. Each part of the Fusion for TIVA v8 development board contains the components necessary for the most efficient operation of the same board. An advanced integrated CODEGRIP programmer/debugger module offers many valuable programming/debugging options, including support for JTAG, SWD, and SWO Trace (Single Wire Output)), and seamless integration with the Mikroe software environment. Besides, it also includes a clean and regulated power supply module for the development board. It can use a wide range of external power sources, including a battery, an external 12V power supply, and a power source via the USB Type-C (USB-C) connector.
Communication options such as USB-UART, USB HOST/DEVICE, CAN (on the MCU card, if supported), and Ethernet is also included. In addition, it also has the well-established mikroBUS™ standard, a standardized socket for the MCU card (SiBRAIN standard), and two display options for the TFT board line of products and character-based LCD. Fusion for TIVA v8 is an integral part of the Mikroe ecosystem for rapid development. Natively supported by Mikroe software tools, it covers many aspects of prototyping and development thanks to a considerable number of different Click boards™ (over a thousand boards), the number of which is growing every day.

Application Output
After pressing the "FLASH" button on the left-side panel, it is necessary to open the UART terminal to display the achieved results. By clicking on the Tools icon in the right-hand panel, multiple different functions are displayed, among which is the UART Terminal. Click on the offered "UART Terminal" icon.
![UART Application Output Step 1](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-40a0-6b58-88de-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-1.jpg)
Once the UART terminal is opened, the window takes on a new form. At the top of the tab are two buttons, one for adjusting the parameters of the UART terminal and the other for connecting the UART terminal. The tab's lower part is reserved for displaying the achieved results. Before connecting, the terminal has a Disconnected status, indicating that the terminal is not yet active. Before connecting, it is necessary to check the set parameters of the UART terminal. Click on the "OPTIONS" button.
![UART Application Output Step 2](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703a-eb29-62fa-ba91-02420a00029a/UART-AO-Step-2.jpg)
In the newly opened UART Terminal Options field, we check if the terminal settings are correct, such as the set port and the Baud rate of UART communication. If the data is not displayed properly, it is possible that the Baud rate value is not set correctly and needs to be adjusted to 115200. If all the parameters are set correctly, click on "CONFIGURE".
![UART Application Output Step 3](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703b-7543-6fbc-9c69-0242ac120003/UART-AO-Step-3.jpg)
The next step is to click on the "CONNECT" button, after which the terminal status changes from Disconnected to Connected in green, and the data is displayed in the Received data field.
![UART Application Output Step 4](https://dbp-cdn.mikroe.com/cms/shared-resources/1eed703c-068c-66a4-a4fc-0242ac120003/UART-AO-Step-4.jpg)

* \brief Adapter Click example
*
* # Description
* Adapter click is a breakout board which simplifies connection of add-on boards.
* There are two ways of establishing connection: using male or female IDC10 connectors.
* Male header must be soldered on the top side of Adapter Click to connect the add-on board
* directly or via flat cable. Female header can be soldered either on the top, or the bottom
* side, depending on which one is more convenient in given circumstances.
* There are two jumpers for SPI/I2C selection and one for selection of power supply range.
*
* The demo application is composed of two sections :
*
* ## Application Init
* Initalizes I2C or SPI driver and makes an initial log.
*
* ## Application Task
* This is an example that shows the use of the Adapter click board (SPI mode - set as default).
* In I2C mode we are reading internal temperature from another device (THERMO 5 click board).
* In SPI mode example we are writing "mikroElektronika" to SRAM click board,
* and then reading from the same memory location.
*
* ## Additional Functions
* - float thermo5_read_inter_temp ( adapter_t *ctx ) -
* @description Function reads measurements made by internal diode.
* - void sram_write_byte ( adapter_t *ctx, uint32_t reg_address, uint8_t write_data ) -
* @description Function writes the 8-bit data to the target 24-bit register address of 23LC1024 chip.
* - uint8_t sram_read_byte ( adapter_t *ctx, uint32_t reg_address ) -
* @description Function reads the 8-bit data to the target 24-bit register address of 23LC1024 chip.
