SPI and DMA CS does not disable

[pietrodicastri]

Good morning..

I am testing on the FRDM-K64.

I have initialized the SPI and DMA to transfer. The transfer is looking ok on the scope with one problem.

The second CS signal remain in the enable status in the end of the transfer, I would like to see it disabled as the other.

Suggestions???

Thank you

Pietro

Hi,

I do not completely understand what do you mean with the second CS? Can you please be more specific?

You can refer to this document, it might be useful for your application:

Hello Adrian

Thank You for the assistance.

The signal I mean are the SPI0_PCS1 and SPI0_PCS0.

Everything is working with the surprise that the last transfer updates all of the PCSx signal as requested

only when the transfer begins, not when the transfer ends. The enabled PCSx in the last transfer remain enabled

when the transfer stops.

The trick is to add a dummy transfer with all of the PCSx signal disabled, but I don t like to do. I suppose a solution exists.

Thank You

Hi,

I apologize for the late response, I am not aware of an issue like this. But I have some points to check.

It is probably that your configuration has the continuous mode enable in the last transmission and this is causing the PCSx line remains low waiting for the next frame. Please check the status your are configuring for the PUSHR[CONT] bit in the last transfer.

Also, you need to ensure that in the last transfer the PUSHR[EOQ] bit is set to indicate is the last one in the queue and the bus becomes free.

Hope this information can help you
