<p>SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) is a synchronous 4-wire serial interface
commonly used to connect components in embedded systems.</p>
<p>For a detailed description of SPI, see <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Peripheral_Interface_Bus">Wikipedia</a>.</p>
<h3 id="description">Description</h3>
<p>The Mynewt HAL interface supports the SPI master functionality only. Future
version will support SPI slave functionality.</p>
<h3 id="definition">Definition</h3>
<p><a href="https://github.com/apache/incubator-mynewt-larva/blob/master/hw/hal/include/hal/hal_spi.h">hal_spi.h</a></p>
<h3 id="hal_spi-theory-of-operation">HAL_SPI Theory Of Operation</h3>
<p>SPI is called a 4-wire interface because of the 4 signals, MISO, MOSI, CLK,
and SS. The SS signal (slave select) is an active low signal that activates
a SPI slave device. This is how a master "addresses" a particular slave
device. Often this signal is also referred to as "chip select" as it
selects particular slave device for communications.</p>
<p>The Mynewt SPI HAL has blocking transfers. This means that the API call
to transfer a byte will wait until the byte completes transmissions before
the function returns.</p>
<p>Since SPI is generally a shared communications bus, the hal_spi API allows
SPI runtime configuration to be compatible with the data format and speed of the
slave device. See the <code>hal_spi_config</code> method in the API above for a
description of the available settings. These settings are critical to the
operation of the slave device.</p>
<p>The Mynewt SPI HAL does not include built-in SS signaling. Its up to the
hal_spi user to control their own SS pins. Typically applications will do
this with GPIO.</p>
<p>An example of this would look like this (error handling excluded for brevity):</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code> /* each device may have different settings */
extern struct hal_spi_settings dev1;
extern struct hal_spi_settings dev2;
gpio_init_out(SS_DEV_1, 1);
gpio_init_out(SS_DEV_2, 1);
hal_spi *pspi = hal_spi_init(SPI0);
...
/* write a single byte (0) to device 1 */
hal_spi_config(pspi, &amp;dev1);
gpio_clear(SS_DEV_1)
rc = hal_spi_transfer(pspi, 0)
gpio_set(SS_DEV_1)
/* read a single byte from device 2 */
hal_spi_config(pspi, &amp;dev2);
gpio_clear(SS_DEV_2)
val = hal_spi_transfer(pspi, 0)
gpio_set(SS_DEV_2)
</code></pre></div>
<p>Depending on the device's operation, it may be necessary or more efficient
to write or read multiple bytes in a single transaction. An example is
shown below</p>
<p>```no-highlight</p>
<div class="codehilite" style="background: #ffffff"><pre style="line-height: 125%;"><span></span><code>void spi_write_buf(struct hal_spi *pspi, uint8_t *buf, int len) {
char *ptr = buf;
hal_spi_config(pspi, &amp;dev2);
gpio_clear(SS_DEV_2)
while(len-- &gt; 0) {
val = hal_spi_transfer(pspi, (uint16_t) *ptr++)
}
gpio_set(SS_DEV_2)
}
</code></pre></div>
