eSPI -DON bit in T2080RDB

[monalihaware]

I tried to program SPI in T2080RDB in a very simple way.

I programmed registers in the code warrior. I opted for loop back code too. But to my surprise 'DON' bit is never high. I don't know why. Finally tried the example in T2080RM, tried 'only Tx in loop back mode'. But the DON bit is never high.

Can anyone tell me 1 thing. Will the 'DON' bit be '1' initially, i mean just after power on of the board, even before i access SPI? I find that after power on, the "DON" bit is 0 and is always 0. I feel if it is 0, it will never transfer the FRAME i wrote in Tx FIFO(SPITF).

Please check your code and ensure that RX FIFO is emptied after each reception.
