Clock Configuration

The SPI peripheral uses the SCISPICLK for communication and PCLKB for internal operations. Both can be configured via the Clocks tab of the RA Configuration editor or by using the CGC Interface at run-time.

Pin Configuration

This module uses MOSI, MISO, RSPCK, and SSL pins to communicate with on board devices.

Note
At high bitrates it may be necessary to configure the pins with IOPORT_CFG_DRIVE_HIGH to maintain signal integrity.

Usage Notes

Performance

At high bitrates, interrupts may not be able to service transfers fast enough. In master mode this means there will be a delay between each data frame. In slave mode this could result in TX Underrun and RX Overflow errors.

In order to improve performance at high bitrates, it is recommended that the instance be configured to service transfers using the DTC.

Another way to improve performance is to transfer the data in 16/32 bit wide data frames when possible. A typical use-case where this is possible is when reading/writing to a block device.

Transmit From RXI Interrupt

After every data frame the SPI peripheral generates a transmit buffer empty interrupt and a receive buffer full interrupt. It is possible to configure the driver to handle transmit buffer empty interrupts in the receive buffer full ISR. This only improves performance when the DTC is not being used.

Note
Configuring the module to use RX DTC instance without also providing a TX DTC instance results in an invalid configuration when RXI transmit is enabled.
Transmit Only mode is not supported when Transmit from RXI is enabled.

Clock Auto-Stopping

In master mode, if the Receive Buffer Full Interrupts are not handled fast enough, instead of generating a RX Overflow error, the last clock cycle will be stretched until the receive buffer is read.

Parity Mode

When parity mode is configured, the LSB of each data frame is used as a parity bit. When odd parity is selected, the LSB is set such that there are an odd number of ones in the data frame. When even parity is selected, the LSB is set such that there are an even number of ones in the data frame.

Limitations

Developers should be aware of the following limitations when using the SPI:

Examples

Basic Example

This is a basic example of minimal use of the SPI in an application.

static volatile bool g_transfer_complete = false;
void spi_basic_example (void)
{
uint8_t tx_buffer[TRANSFER_SIZE];
uint8_t rx_buffer[TRANSFER_SIZE];
fsp_err_t err = FSP_SUCCESS;
/* Initialize the SPI module. */
err = R_SPI_B_Open(&g_spi_ctrl, &g_spi_cfg);
/* Handle any errors. This function should be defined by the user. */
assert(FSP_SUCCESS == err);
/* Start a write/read transfer */
err = R_SPI_B_WriteRead(&g_spi_ctrl, tx_buffer, rx_buffer, TRANSFER_SIZE, SPI_BIT_WIDTH_8_BITS);
assert(FSP_SUCCESS == err);
/* Wait for SPI_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE callback event. */
while (false == g_transfer_complete)
{
;
}
}
static void r_spi_callback (spi_callback_args_t * p_args)
{
{
g_transfer_complete = true;
}
}

Driving Software Slave Select Line

This is an example of communicating with multiple slave devices by asserting SSL in software.

void spi_software_ssl_example (void)
{
uint8_t tx_buffer[TRANSFER_SIZE];
uint8_t rx_buffer[TRANSFER_SIZE];
/* Configure Slave Select Line 1 */
R_BSP_PinWrite(SLAVE_SELECT_LINE_1, BSP_IO_LEVEL_HIGH);
/* Configure Slave Select Line 2 */
R_BSP_PinWrite(SLAVE_SELECT_LINE_2, BSP_IO_LEVEL_HIGH);
fsp_err_t err = FSP_SUCCESS;
/* Initialize the SPI module. */
err = R_SPI_B_Open(&g_spi_ctrl, &g_spi_cfg);
/* Handle any errors. This function should be defined by the user. */
assert(FSP_SUCCESS == err);
/* Assert Slave Select Line 1 */
R_BSP_PinWrite(SLAVE_SELECT_LINE_1, BSP_IO_LEVEL_LOW);
/* Start a write/read transfer */
g_transfer_complete = false;
err = R_SPI_B_WriteRead(&g_spi_ctrl, tx_buffer, rx_buffer, TRANSFER_SIZE, SPI_BIT_WIDTH_8_BITS);
assert(FSP_SUCCESS == err);
/* Wait for SPI_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE callback event. */
while (false == g_transfer_complete)
{
;
}
/* De-assert Slave Select Line 1 */
R_BSP_PinWrite(SLAVE_SELECT_LINE_1, BSP_IO_LEVEL_HIGH);
/* Wait for minimum time required between transfers. */
/* Assert Slave Select Line 2 */
R_BSP_PinWrite(SLAVE_SELECT_LINE_2, BSP_IO_LEVEL_LOW);
/* Start a write/read transfer */
g_transfer_complete = false;
err = R_SPI_B_WriteRead(&g_spi_ctrl, tx_buffer, rx_buffer, TRANSFER_SIZE, SPI_BIT_WIDTH_8_BITS);
assert(FSP_SUCCESS == err);
/* Wait for SPI_EVENT_TRANSFER_COMPLETE callback event. */
while (false == g_transfer_complete)
{
;
}
/* De-assert Slave Select Line 2 */
R_BSP_PinWrite(SLAVE_SELECT_LINE_2, BSP_IO_LEVEL_HIGH);
}

Configuring the SPI Clock Divider Registers

This example demonstrates how to set the SPI clock divisors at runtime.

void spi_bitrate_example (void)
{
fsp_err_t err = FSP_SUCCESS;
g_spi_cfg.p_extend = &g_spi_extended_cfg;
/* Configure SPI Clock divider to achieve largest bitrate less than or equal to the desired bitrate. */
err = R_SPI_B_CalculateBitrate(BITRATE, SPI_B_CLOCK_SOURCE_SCISPICLK, &(g_spi_extended_cfg.spck_div));
assert(FSP_SUCCESS == err);
/* Initialize the SPI module. */
err = R_SPI_B_Open(&g_spi_ctrl, &g_spi_cfg);
/* Handle any errors. This function should be defined by the user. */
assert(FSP_SUCCESS == err);
}
