This LPC4370 based board has one Synchronous Serial Port (SSP1) connected to J3 together with UART2, I2C, GPI05_8, GPI03_5, GPIO05_9, and GPI03_7. There is only one SSP_SEL signal (pin 6). In my application, there are multiple SPI slaves. The questions are:
1) Can I use the GPIO signals in this connector for slave selection
2) What is the difference between the SSP_SEL and the GPIO signals
3) What is (are) the SPI libraries to be used for multi-slave configuration
4) Is the mutli-slave configuration supported by FreeRtos
5) Is the multi-slave configuration supported by DMA
