About

The CMSIS Spi Device provides a standard interface to a Serial peripheral interface (SPI) that is part of a Cortex-M3 system. This interface is an hardware abstraction layer for the SPI. It consists of a general Spi Device Driver (files SpiDev.h) and a device specific Spi Device Driver (files SpiDev_STM32.[h,c]). The device specific Spi Device Driver provides an I/O Block to pass parameter and to access the Device Driver. Each Spi Device needs a device specific Spi Device Driver which provides it's own I/O block.

To ease use and design of the Spi Device Driver only one SPI can be used, Data Frame Format is limited to 8 bit and only master mode is possible. This will cover most of the use cases for a SPI.

 

CMSIS Spi Device Files

The sample driver is implemented for a ST Microlectronics STM32F103 device and uses the following files:

Name Description
SpiDev.h Global defines and structure definitions for general Spi Device interface.
SpiDev_STM32.h Device dependent definitions of the device specific Spi Device Driver.
SpiDev_STM32.c Device specific Spi Device Driver.

File SpiDev.h

Description File SpiDev.h contains function prototypes and type definitions for configuration values. Also global defines are part of this file. File SpiDev.h must be included in the application. This file contains the type definition for I/O Block. The I/O block contains configuration values and function pointer to access the device specific Spi Device Driver .

File SpiDev_STM32.h

Description File SpiDev_STM32.h contains STM32F103 device specific defines like registers and register values. It is only included from file SpiDev_STM32.c.

File SpiDev_STM32.c

Description File SpiDev_STM32.c contains static functions of this specific Spi Device Driver and provides the Device Driver specific I/O block. It must be linked to the application. The compiler switches _SPI_, _SPI_REMAP_are used to select the SPI and the SPI pins.
Compiler switches

_SPI_
Valid values are:

  • 1..3

_SPI_REMAP_
Valid values are:

  • 0 SPI pins are not remapped (default)
  • 1 SPI1 pins are remapped

 

CMSIS SPI Device Definitions

Spi Device Driver uses following definitions for configuartion and function parameter values:

Name Description
Global Defines Global defined values.
Spi Configuration Spi Configuration parameters.

Global Defines

Summary 
#define SpiDev_CLOCK_POLARITY_IDLELOW      0
#define SpiDev_CLOCK_POLARITY_IDLEHIGH     1

#define SpiDev_CLOCK_PHASE_FIRSTEDGE       0
#define SpiDev_CLOCK_PHASE_SECONDEDGE      1

#define SpiDev_SSO_DISABLED                0
#define SpiDev_SSO_ENABLED                 1
Description

These defines are used from the Spi Device Driver.

Define

SpiDev_CLOCK_POLARITY_IDLELOW
CK to 0 when idle.

SpiDev_CLOCK_POLARITY_IDLEHIGH
CK to 1 when idle.

SpiDev_CLOCK_PHASE_FIRSTEDGE
The first clock transition is the first data capture edge.

SpiDev_CLOCK_PHASE_SECONDEDGE
The second clock transition is the first data capture edge.

SpiDev_SSO_DISABLED
SS output is disabled in master mode and the cell can work in multimaster configuration.

SpiDev_SSO_ENABLED
SS output is enabled in master mode and when the cell is enabled. The cell cannot work in a multimaster environment.

CMSIS Spi Device I/O Block

Spi Device Driver defines the following structure to pass initialization data and to access device specific functions:

Name Description
SpiDev_IOB Structure for configuration values and functions pointers to the Spi Device Driver.

Structure SpiDev_IOB

Summary 
typedef struct {
   SpiDev_CFG   Cfg;
   int (*Init)       (void);
   int (*UnInit)     (void);
   int (*BufTxRx)    (void *pDataTx, void *pDataRx, unsigned int Size);
   int (*SetBaudrate)(unsigned int Baudrate);
} SpiDev_IOB;
Description

This structure is used to hold configuration values and function pointers to access the device specific Spi Device Driver. The configuration values are preset with default values.

Attributes

Cfg
A SpiDev_CFG structure holding the configuration parameter.

int (*Init) (void);
Function pointer to Init function.

int (*UnInit) (void);
Function pointer to UnInit function.

int (*BufTxRx) (void *pDataTx, void *pDataRx, unsigned int Size);
Function pointer to data transmit / receive function.

int (*SetBaudrate)(unsigned int Baudrate);
Function pointer to change the used Baudrate.

 

CMSIS Spi Device Functions

Spi Device Driver contains the following static functions:

Name Description
SpiDev_Init Initialize and start the Spi Device Driver.
