Can the imx28 spi work in duplex mode

x10 — Mon, 23 Dec 2013 05:41:32 GMT

Hi, All

I try to make imx28 spi work in duplex mode using pio method, and it's failed so far. Please let me know if anyone implements spi transfer in duplex mode. Thanks!

Hello Cheng Shi,

Are you able get the i.MX28 works in half-duplex mode using PIO method?

According to reference manual, bit 25 in HW_SSP_CTRL0 register is the "Read Mode" bit of the SPI transfer. When this and DATA_XFER are set, the SSP will read data from the device. If this is not set, then the SSP will write data to the device. So, the SSP can only transfer data in either direction in a transcation. Exchange data (send out data from SSP read in data from device) is unlikely supported, even though the SPI protocol is supposing can do so.

I am curious to know if the correct data can be read from HW_SSP_DATA when "Read Mode" is 0 after the PIO transfer has complete.

Thanks,

Peter

The i.MX28 SPI controller can work only in Half-Duplex mode, not ever in Full-Duplex mode.

Hi, Marek&Peter

maybe it's not the question for this topic, but I still want know if all i.mx chips don't support full-duplex.

Many thanks

The Sigmatel SPI block (present in STMP37xx, then in i.MX23 and i.MX28) can only do Half-Duplex.

The Freescale CSPI and ECSPI block (present in the rest) can only do Full-Duplex.

That's right but you can combine the 2 SSP (MOSI from one in master, MISO from the other in slave with same clock from master to slave) to get a full duplex SPI. Got a customer that implement it for a NFC chip that was replying while being talked to but he didn't share the driver.

Cheers, Philippe.
