MPC5777C Slave select pins

[prathapvc]

We have used two MPC5777C Microcontrollers for testing of serial communication between two Microcontrollers in which we have configured DSPI_A in first Microcontroller as master and DSPI_A in second Microcontroller as slave. Can we configure PCSB0 pin as slave select in second Microcontroller and use it as slave select for DSPI_A in second Microcontroller since PCSA0 pin in second Microcontroller is not connected to any peripheral chip selects pins of DSPI in first Microcontroller.

Hi, I don't think so.

You can use PCSB0 as PCSD2 but it'll not help you anyway. Or you could use PCSB1 as PCSD0, but still other signals may not be available. I don't know how your design is routed and whether you are able to perform any workaround or re-design is necessary.

Dear David,

Can we connect PCSB0 in one microcontroller (slave) to PCSA1 of other microcontroller (master) for SPI communication.

Yes, you can if it is OK to have master on the other side (as thus communication initiated by second side).
