[En-Nut-Discussion] SPI master mode Ethernut 5

Hi,

my goal is to connect universal SPI slave devices, so the example you posted Harald doesn't help, unfortunately. Actually i'm using no specific device driver, so if i call: 
NutRegisterSpiDevice(NULL, &spiBus1At91, 0);

the OS suspends infinitely. 

The code snipping I am actually using is:

NUTSPINODE my_node = { &spiBus1At91, /* Pointer to the bus controller driver. */
NULL, /* Optional pointer to device specific settings. */
500000, /* SPI clock rate. */
3, /* SPI mode. */
8, /* SPI data bits. */
0 /* Chip select index. */
};

int MyInit(void) {
	int rc;

	rc = (*spiBus1At91.bus_initnode)(&my_node);
	if (rc == 0) {
		NutEventPost(&spiBus1At91.bus_mutex);
	}
	return rc;
}

int MyTransfer(uint8_t *buf, int len) {
	int rc;
	rc = (*spiBus1At91.bus_alloc)(&my_node, 1000);
	if (rc == 0) {
		rc = (*spiBus1At91.bus_transfer)(&my_node, buf, buf, len);
	}
	(*spiBus1At91.bus_release)(&my_node);
	return rc;
}

int main(void) {

	uint32_t baud = 115200; //baudrate for UART interface
	uint8_t transfer = 0x55; //example message
	int result = -1;
	/*
	 * Register the UART device, open it, assign stdout to it and set
	 * the baudrate.
	 */
	NutRegisterDevice(&DEV_CONSOLE, 0, 0);
	freopen(DEV_CONSOLE.dev_name, "w", stdout);
	_ioctl(_fileno(stdout), UART_SETSPEED, &baud);

	NutRegisterSpiDevice(NULL, &spiBus1At91, 0);
	result = At91SpiSetup(&my_node);
	printf("\nSPI setup result: %i", result);
	result = At91Spi1ChipSelect(0, 1);
	printf("\nSPI cs result: %i", result);
	result = At91SpiBusNodeInit(&my_node);
	printf("\nSPI init result: %i", result);
	result = At91SpiBusTransfer(&my_node, &transfer, NULL, 1);
	printf("\nSPI Transfer result: %i", result);
   return 0;
}

My ChipSelect configuration is Pin 39,41,43,45 for CS0-CS3.
When the line: 
NutRegisterSpiDevice(NULL, &spiBus1At91, 0); 
is commented, the OS is running but theres no signal at i/o Pins.

Regards,

Sergej

Wireshark interprets it as "VSS-Monitoring Ethernet trailer".  If the packet size is an even number, everything is fine.  Most applications can handle this packet correctly. But some  applications don't read the length in the header. They just process all characters in the packet and think this is a wrong message.

Applications must always honor the lengths provided in the headers. The
minimum size of an Ethernet payload is 46 octets

http://wiki.wireshark.org/Ethernet
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc894

So, padding may always occur. Most Ethernet controllers add padding
bytes automatically.

Some Ethernet controllers cannot transmit odd number of bytes. As far as
I can see, the AT91 EMAC doesn't have this limitation. I guess, that the
code snippet above had been inherited from another driver.

Regards,

Harald

Without SPI, Ethernut 5 wouldn't be able to access its Dataflash and
even SD-Card access may be based on the SPI driver. So, in general I'm
quite sure, that is works.

Are you sure you are on the right bus, Ethernut 5 has 2 of them.

Although a bit old, it is still the way to go. For Ethernut 5 and EIR use

NutRegisterSpiDevice(&devSpiBlkAt45d0, &spiBus0At91, 0);

for the first SPI0 or

NutRegisterSpiDevice(&devSpiBlkAt45d0, &spiBus1At91, 0);

for the second SPI1. Only the latter is available at the expansion port.

Btw. the app/ediconf sample will print some useful information about
your SPI configuration. It's done for SPI0, but can be modified for SPI1
in order to see, what's actually configured.

I'm a bit short in time right now. If the above doesn't help, I can
create a simple example tomorrow.

Regards,

Harald
