SPI don't work with Full Chip Simulation

[area3]

Hi to all,
I'm trying to use a MC9S08GT60. I'm using Full Chip Simulation to verified that all the function works fine.
I've a data that I want send by SPI, but in Full Chip Simulation I can't write on the SPI1D register.
There is the code:

byte SPI_send(char data)
{
while (!SPI1S_SPTEF); /* Wait for Tx buffer empty */
SPI1S; /* Read of SPI1S with SPTEF=1 */
SPI1D = data; /* Send byte */
while (!SPI1S_SPRF); /* Wait for Rx buffer full */
return (SPI1D); /* Received byte value */
}

When I write data to SPI1D with "SPI1D = data" nothing happens!
The memory map don't change.

Where I fail?

Best regard,
Davide

Hello Davide,

The SPI1D register will always read a different value than it writes because you are writing the value to be sent, but are reading the byte value returned by the SPI slave.  In simulation mode, I wouldn't expect the "returned" value  to alter since the slave end doesn't actually exist.

A comment about your SPI_send() code, the second line -

SPI1S; /* Read of SPI1S with SPTEF=1 */
This is confusing and unnecessary.  The first line that tests the SPTEF bit already reads SPI1S.

Hi Davide,

Mac is correct in that you can't see the data you write to SPI1D by looking at SPI1D. You can however see a simulated version of what was shifted out by using the SPDO command or under the HCS08FCS menu select SPI Module and then SPDO. You can also preload a buffer for simulating data coming in on the MISO pin by SPDI. You should look here to check your code.
