SPI question

Hi all, I looked at the APIs in spi_18xx_43xx.h, like readData () and writeData (), I am puzzled how I can enter the addressing information for the slave device to access a specific location? Can someone shed some light on this? Is there any place where I can get some example code on how to use the SPI library support?

Thank you in advance!

Thanks MC, is there any example code on how to use the APIs in spi_18xx_43xx.h? I have looked at the datasheet of the SPI flash that I am using, and understand its opcode and address width etc, however I wonder if I need to provide the callback functions to SPI_DATA_SETUP_T structure? I don't fully understand how these callback function will be used/called, and what they intent are etc, is there any document on them as well?

Thanks again for the help!

Hi Richard,
Serial Flash has read/write commands. You will have to send first command and then address of the memory location. As suggested by martin please look memory datasheet.

Thanks Martin, yes I need to use SPI. You are correct that I need to look into the specific flash datasheet for the address information.

Thanks again.

Hi Richard,

SPI uses hardware signals (like a chip select CS) to access a certain device.
Are you sure you wanted to use SPI? Or are you searching for I2C?
Can you give more details?

If really SPI and perhaps a serial flash, then you must look into datasheet of your serial flash,
how it wants to bytes (perhaps included address information, commands, data).

Best regards,

Martin
