SPI

[Tim]

Has anyone used the SPI port (other than flash)? Can you please provide an example?

Thanks

Hi Tim!

Maybe this will help you. Below are two very simple functions (first for write one byte data and second to read one byte data):

Code: [Select]

void fnWrite_command(unsigned char ucCommand)
{

    GPIODATA_D &= ~CS_LINE;                                     // CS low state
    SSIDR_0 = ucCommand;                                          // send 8-bit command
                                                                              //if you want to send more bytes add more lines SSIDR_0 = comand;

while (SSISR_0 & (SSI_BSY | SSI_RNE)) {              // wait for transfer to complete and clear rx buffer
volatile unsigned long ulDummy = SSIDR_0;
}
GPIODATA_D |= CS_LINE;
}

unsigned char fnRead_command()
{
        unsigned char ucValue;

        GPIODATA_D &= ~CS_LINE;                                 // CS low state
                                               
SSIDR_0 = 0x00;            //dummy writes to generate clock
//SSIDR_0 = 0x00;         //if you want to read more bytes add more line SSIDR_0 = 0x00;
    while (SSISR_0 & SSI_BSY) {};

ucValue = (unsigned char)SSIDR_0;
       
while (SSISR_0 & (SSI_BSY | SSI_RNE)) {                          // wait for transfer to complete and clear rx buffer
volatile unsigned long ulDummy = SSIDR_0;
}
GPIODATA_D |= CS_LINE;

return ucValue;
}

Thanks Robo. Do I need to send the 0x00 for the read before each read or just as many times as I need before I read?

i.e.

0x00
0x00
0x00
0x00

Read 4 bytes

0x00
read
0x00
read
0x00
read
0x00
read

Thanks

Hi Tim!

First i.e. is correct.
For example: if you want to read 4 bytes

SSIDR_0 = 0x00;
SSIDR_0 = 0x00;
SSIDR_0 = 0x00;
SSIDR_0 = 0x00;

while (SSISR_0 & SSI_BSY) {};

ucValue0 = (unsigned char)SSIDR_0;
ucValue1 = (unsigned char)SSIDR_0;
ucValue2 = (unsigned char)SSIDR_0;
ucValue3 = (unsigned char)SSIDR_0;
