SPI

The Serial Peripheral Interface bus (SPI) is a synchronous serial communication interface specification used for short distance communication, primarily for inter-chip communication within a single PCB.

SPI devices communicate in full duplex mode using a master-slave architecture with a single master.

MiraOS supports multiple independent instances. Only SPI master is currently supported.

Detailed description on enum value SPI mode 0. CPOL=0, CPHA=0. Clock idle low, sample data on leading clock edge.

Detailed description on enum value SPI mode 1. CPOL=0, CPHA=1. Clock idle low, sample data on trailing clock edge.

Detailed description on enum value SPI mode 2. CPOL=1, CPHA=0. Clock idle high, sample data on leading clock edge.

Detailed description on enum value SPI mode 3. CPOL=1, CPHA=1. Clock idle high, sample data on trailing clock edge.

Functions

mira_spi_init

mira_status_t mira_spi_init(uint8_t spi_id, const mira_spi_config_t *config);

Initialize SPI peripheral.

Before calling this function again mira_spi_uninit has to be called.

Parameters

Name Description
spi_id Peripheral id.
config Configuration. Can be discarded after the return of this function.

Return value

Name Description
MIRA_SUCCESS The SPI interface was successfully initialized.
MIRA_ERROR_UNKNOWN An unknown error occurred.
MIRA_ERROR_INVALID_ID The SPI id is invalid.
MIRA_SPI_ERROR_CONFIG The config is invalid.
MIRA_SPI_ERROR_MODE The mode is invalid.

mira_spi_uninit

mira_status_t mira_spi_uninit(uint8_t spi_id);

Uninitialize SPI peripheral.

Parameters

Name Description
spi_id Peripheral id.

Return value

Name Description
MIRA_SUCCESS The SPI interface was successfully uninitialized.
MIRA_ERROR_UNKNOWN An unknown error occurred.
MIRA_ERROR_INVALID_ID The SPI id is invalid.

mira_spi_transfer

mira_status_t mira_spi_transfer(uint8_t spi_id, uint8_t *tx_buffer, uint16_t tx_buffer_length, uint8_t *rx_buffer, uint16_t rx_buffer_length);

Transmit and receive data.

The process calling this function will be sent a PROCESS_EVENT_POLL event after the transmission has completed.

Parameters

Name Description
spi_id Peripheral id.
tx_buffer Buffer containing the data to transmit.
tx_buffer_length Number of bytes to transmit.
rx_buffer Buffer where to store data received while transmitting.
rx_buffer_length Max number of bytes to receive.

Return value

Name Description
MIRA_SUCCESS
MIRA_ERROR_UNKNOWN An unknown error occurred.
MIRA_ERROR_INVALID_ID The SPI id is invalid.
MIRA_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED The SPI interface is not initialized.
MIRA_SPI_ERROR_BUSY The SPI interface is busy.

mira_spi_transfer_is_in_progress

mira_bool_t mira_spi_transfer_is_in_progress(uint8_t spi_id);

Check if an SPI transfer is in progress.

Parameters

Name Description
spi_id Peripheral id.

Return value

Name Description
MIRA_TRUE SPI transfer is in progress.
MIRA_FALSE SPI transfer is not in progress.
