S32K144:SPI Transfer

[bjrajendra]

Hello all,

I tried to use SPI transfer with CS as GPIO. I'm performing following steps.

1. Making the CS LOW

2. Pushing to data in the FIFO

3. Making the CS HIGH

I'm able to transfer the data but my CS goit HIGH (Step 3) Far ahead of the transfer.

CS_LOW;

LPSPI0->TDR = LPSPI_TDR_DATA(n) ; 
while((LPSPI0->SR & LPSPI_SR_TDF_MASK)>>LPSPI_SR_TDF_SHIFT==0) {} 

CS_HIGH;

Kindly help in this regard,

Raju

Hi,

here's the difference:

That means you need to wait for TCF flag, not for TDF.

Hi Lukas,

Thanks for the response.

I tried waitng till 

while((LPSPI0->SR & LPSPI_SR_TCF_MASK)>>LPSPI_SR_TCF_SHIFT==0) {} 

Even I tried to wait for the FCF flag to set. I don't see any change considering by frame length as 7+1 bits

but, stranges the TCF, FCF, WCF flag will set immeadiately after writing the data into the tranmit buffer though theCS still holds the LOW.

Kindly help in this regard,

Raju

That's a good point, I did quick test and I can see that too. TCF flag is obviously set when data are transferred to shift register and physical transmission is not considered.

But in fact, the description is correct:

"In master mode when the LPSPI returns to idle state with the transmit FIFO empty, the Transfer Complete Flag will set."

In other words, TCF is set immediately when FIFO is empty.

As a workaround, you can use delay loop instead for waiting for flag. Just calculate required time for your SPI frequency.

Thanks Lukas for the Support.

In fact, using a delay loop is not a good idea I feel. Any other idea is greatly appreciated.
