SPI Master receive block not sending clock

[adriangeiger]

Hi All

I'm trying to use SynchroMaster Component on SPI0 with my KL25Z128VLK4 custom board. CW IDE is 10.3. I have tested several configuration and found out, that the recvblock() method obviously does not trigger the clock signal; because when i use sendblock() it does. Thus, my SPI Slave peripheral (MAX31855) won't deliver any data. If I clock it manually, it works fine, though! The MAX31855 is a very simple read only SPI slave. However, I would still like to use the component, for the initialisation and data processing ease's sake. Has anyone got a clue, what I'm missing?

Cheers and thanks in advance

Hello Adrian:

As I recall the receive functions only set the receive buffers. In your case you have to call the SendBlock() function with a "dummy" block of the same size as the one you want to receive. Sending this block with dummy data will generate the clock so the Master SPI can receive the "relevant" data from the slave.

I hope this helps.
