RTD Half Duplex SPI

maximillion · ‎06-08-2023

As you mentioned before I try to RTD for half duplex SPI. When I send to data with using Lpspi_Ip_SyncTransmitHalfDuplex function how could I get data from slave.

Lpspi_Ip_AsyncTransmitHalfDuplex(&SLAVE_EXTERNAL_DEVICE, RxSlaveBuffer, NUMBER_OF_BYTES, LPSPI_IP_HALF_DUPLEX_RECEIVE, NULL_PTR);

/* Master transmits data in half-duplex mode by sync method */
Lpspi_Ip_SyncTransmitHalfDuplex(&MASTER_EXTERNAL_DEVICE, TxMasterBuffer, NUMBER_OF_BYTES, LPSPI_IP_HALF_DUPLEX_TRANSMIT, TIMEOUT);

after that should I write this function

Lpspi_Ip_AsyncTransmitHalfDuplex(&SLAVE_EXTERNAL_DEVICE, RxSlaveBuffer, NUMBER_OF_BYTES, LPSPI_IP_HALF_DUPLEX_TRANSMIT, NULL_PTR);

/* Master transmits data in half-duplex mode by sync method */
Lpspi_Ip_SyncTransmitHalfDuplex(&MASTER_EXTERNAL_DEVICE, TxMasterBuffer, NUMBER_OF_BYTES, LPSPI_IP_HALF_DUPLEX_RECEIVE, TIMEOUT);

Hi @maximillion,

A simple test project is in this thread:

https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32K/S32K314-SPI-flash-implementation/m-p/1617504#M21457

It sends one 8bit frame to the Slave device and reads 3 frames from the Slave device.

Daniel

I only have 3 Wire Clock, Chip Select, Data.
Your project is not 3-wire. I've written so much that your community always suggests another answer.

I have attached the project.
I only have to use 3 wires. I need to send and receive at MOSI pin. In the example project, I sent and received data between two SPI modules, but in my own project I cannot read data from the slave because the master does not keep the chip select pin continuous while receiving data. Why chip select did not keep continuos?

Below picture master send data (LPSPI0) and slave receive data (LPSPI1) after that receive send data and master receive. Why doesn't the pcs pin keep the pin continuous while the master is receiving data? Please review the project.

Hello @danielmartynek

In the project I uploaded, LPSPI1 was used as master and LPSPI0 as slave.

In my project, S32K148 will be master and it will communicate with TFT display, so you can think of LPSPI0 module as TFT display. I need to configure the display with 3 wire spi. Below I have attached a photo of the SPI communication specified in the datashette. Also I attached my logic analyzer screnshoot. Could you please tell me how to read data from slave correctly from master?

Hello @maximillion,

I'm sorry for the delay, I couldn't get to the testing.

You example had a few issues, like both modules have to have one pin selected for both MOSI/MISO and the pin must be set as Input/Output.

Anyway, I think there is a bug in the RTD driver.

It has been reported to the RTD development team.

Once I have sone new information, I will update the thread.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi
Actually, this project is valid and I worked on this project. I'm not sure why you couldn't test the project.
Anyway, I'm in trouble with the 3-wire SPI. I'm waiting for your answer.

danielmartynek · ‎06-16-2023

Hi @maximillion,

I don't see any issue with the 3wire mode, but with the Continues mode.

I have created the attached simple test project (Master only).

1. CONT = 0

2. CONT = 1

The issue is clearly in the Continuous mode.

Regards,

Daniel

How should I handle this issue?
Is this issue related to RTD driver isn't it?

danielmartynek · ‎06-23-2023

Hi @maximillion,

Yes, it looks like it is a bug in RTD.

Have you consider using one 80bit frame instead?

BR, Daniel

danielmartynek · ‎07-21-2023

Hi @maximillion,

The RTD team has found some limitations that do not allow the TXMSK CONT function in the LPSPI driver. They will update the UM with a note mentioning that.

Regards,

Daniel

maximillion · ‎07-24-2023

Hi @danielmartynek,
Can't we use TXMSK CONT function in LPSPI driver? I need this in my project won't a new update or patch come out?

danielmartynek · ‎07-24-2023

Hi @maximillion,

Unfortunately, I have been informed that there is not going to be any patch.

It will be just listed as a limitation in the User Manual.

I'm not sure what the reasons are.

Daniel

Hi @danielmartynek

"Functions implemented in SDK for LPSPI (RTM 3.0.0 S32 Design Studio 2.2) do not have "native support" for 3-wire. So can we implement 3-wire SPI in continuous mode by making necessary changes at the driver level for RTM3.0.0?

danielmartynek · ‎07-28-2023

Hi @maximillion,

I don't think the SDK can be easily modified.

These are SW limitations, it should work in HW, there are these errata though:

ERR011097

ERR011089

https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/errata/S32K148_0N20V.pdf

To receive 4 8byte frames in half-duplex continous mode, you need these commands:

while(LPSPI1->FSR & LPSPI_FSR_TXCOUNT_MASK){}
LPSPI1->TCR = LPSPI_TCR_CPHA_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_TXMSK_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_CONT_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_PRESCALE(2)
|LPSPI_TCR_PCS(0)
|LPSPI_TCR_FRAMESZ(7);

while(LPSPI1->FSR & LPSPI_FSR_TXCOUNT_MASK){}
LPSPI1->TCR = LPSPI_TCR_CPHA_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_TXMSK_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_CONT_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_CONTC_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_PRESCALE(2)
|LPSPI_TCR_PCS(0)
|LPSPI_TCR_FRAMESZ(7);

while(LPSPI1->FSR & LPSPI_FSR_TXCOUNT_MASK){}
LPSPI1->TCR = LPSPI_TCR_CPHA_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_TXMSK_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_CONT_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_CONTC_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_PRESCALE(2)
|LPSPI_TCR_PCS(0)
|LPSPI_TCR_FRAMESZ(7);

while(LPSPI1->FSR & LPSPI_FSR_TXCOUNT_MASK){}
LPSPI1->TCR = LPSPI_TCR_CPHA_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_TXMSK_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_CONT_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_CONTC_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_PRESCALE(2)
|LPSPI_TCR_PCS(0)
|LPSPI_TCR_FRAMESZ(7);

/* terminate the transfer */
while(LPSPI1->FSR & LPSPI_FSR_TXCOUNT_MASK){}
LPSPI1->TCR = LPSPI_TCR_CPHA_MASK
|LPSPI_TCR_PRESCALE(2)
|LPSPI_TCR_PCS(0)
|LPSPI_TCR_FRAMESZ(7);

And you have to read the RX data in the meantime.

To transmit data, change TXMSK for RXMASK.

Daniel

Hi @danielmartynek

I opened a case because community support do not provide us the RTD update that supports the 3wire spi communication at continuous mode. You provided us some details how to the update the SDK to support that feature. But it will be a hard task to accomplish that since sdk is provided by RTD team. Even you think that updating the sdk based on that information will not be an easy task. That's why I opened this case. Can you please get in touch with RTD team once again if they can fix this issue in scheduled plan?

danielmartynek · ‎08-17-2023

Hi @JosephJ,

I see the ticket, a colleague of mine is working on this.

As I already mentioned in this thread, there is an option to send one frame of 80bits, instead of 10 8bit frames. That means that you can use the RTD without the continous mode.

Or you could send 10 8bit frames and use GPIO as the CS, again with the continuous mode disabled.

Regards,

Daniel

JosephJ · ‎08-18-2023

Hi @danielmartynek

I will keep the discussion on the opened case for not duplicating the thread. I guess you can also see the ticket.

maximillion · ‎07-26-2023

@danielmartynek
Also, is the limitation you are talking about hardware or software?

maximillion · ‎06-08-2023

Actually my question is, how can I read the register from the slave.

I am sending data as master and how can I receive data from slave. What function should I use to get the data as master from slave
