Hi.
Please help me:
I'm try read info from eeprom mxic, connected to SSP0 at pins p0.15-18.
CS from eeprom i connect to ground.
I get SSP driver from CMSIS, and try send CMD's to eeprom, but not good - i get two 0x00ff :(

                SSP_SendData(LPC_SSP0,0x90);
SSP_SendData(LPC_SSP0,0x0);
SSP_SendData(LPC_SSP0,0x0);
SSP_SendData(LPC_SSP0,0x0);
_DBH16_(SSP_ReceiveData(LPC_SSP0));
                _DBH16_(SSP_ReceiveData(LPC_SSP0));

To clarify things:

- you need to drive CS to the EEPROM because the EEPROM relies on CS for start of a new command.

- you can NOT use the CS drive logic of the SPI! The CS drive logic of the SPI will de-assert CS if the SPI data stream is not back-to-back. Crappy hardware, IMO!. If there is an interrupt in the middle of the SPI transfer, CS will go high in the middle of the transfer, and communication is distorted.

So I ended in using the GPIO function for SPI. Only chance you have...

Actually, if you only have single device on SSP pin, the CS pin can be driven LOW all the time.

But, for the op's answer, one must enable the pins as SSP before it can be used as SSP input / output. I think one of the modules in the LPC177x / LPC178x peripheral driver library should have this.

You need to drive CS from your program.
