 But it is not intended to replace all the other special purpose adapters (USB to UART, JTAG, ...) which probably can better solve specific task because their are: more stable, simpler, more powerful, faster, more stable, cheaper, or more available. But it is not intended to replace all the other special purpose adapters (USB to UART, JTAG, ...) which probably can better solve specific task because their are: more stable, simpler, more powerful, faster, more stable, cheaper, or more available.
 Thus the BusVoodoo is a good choice to start with, but if you want better performances switch to a device designed for each particular task. Thus the BusVoodoo is a good choice to start with, but if you want better performances switch to a device designed for each particular task.
 +And if you want to debug high-speed protocols you will need a complete different class of adapter.

-The Bus Pirate is not the only alternative though.+The Bus Pirate and BusVoodoo are only designed for low speed protocols.
 There is also the [[https://greatscottgadgets.com/greatfet/|GreatFET]], supporting high speed protocols, but is more of a development board than a ready to use tool. There is also the [[https://greatscottgadgets.com/greatfet/|GreatFET]], supporting high speed protocols, but is more of a development board than a ready to use tool.
 And there is the [[http://datenkrake.org/|Datenkrake]] for even higher speed protocols (using an FPGA), but is also more of a development board than a ready to use tool. And there is the [[http://datenkrake.org/|Datenkrake]] for even higher speed protocols (using an FPGA), but is also more of a development board than a ready to use tool.
