Hello, I've run into a bit of behavior I am struggling to figure out. I am using a SPI master in full duplex mode using only the hardware FIFO (no interrupts) to communicate with an external chip. I can write just fine via SPI to the device. I can also see that the device is responding correctly to my SPI master commands in that the anticipated data are returned as seen by a logic analyzer. That being said, the SPIM_ReadRxData from the Creator API does not behave as expected. This is because the SPIM_GetRxBufferSize() is returning an incorrect number of bytes.
If I transmit 3 bytes of data through SPIM, I should receive 3 bytes of data (even if it's garbage) because it is shift-register based and sync'd with the master clock. Well, I get sometimes one, but usually zero bytes. So, I'm confused. Here is the snippet of code. Does anyone have any thoughts on the matter?
<pre>
static BOOL_t AFE4300_read( uint8_t address, uint16_t *pdata ) /****************************************************************************** * Description: This performs the 24-bit read from the AFE. The 3-byte write * is defined by the hardware of the AFE and cannot be changed. The first byte * is always the register to which the data are to be read from. The next 16-bit * transfer is the data. All registers EXCEPT for the data register must be re- * written once they've been read. ******************************************************************************/ { uint8_t highByte; uint8_t lowByte; BOOL_t success = FALSE; uint8_t temp; SPIM_ClearFIFO(); SPIM_WriteTxData(address | ADDRESS_READ_ENABLE); // see p18 of data sheet about bit 21 SPIM_WriteTxData(0x00); // send dummy data to shift high byte out of device SPIM_WriteTxData(0x00); // send dummy data to shift low byte out of device temp = SPIM_GetRxBufferSize(); if(temp >= 3) { SPIM_ReadRxData(); // ignore byte shifted out as address went in highByte = SPIM_ReadRxData(); lowByte = SPIM_ReadRxData(); *pdata = ((uint16_t)highByte << 😎 | (uint16_t)lowByte; // write rx'd data back to device unless it is the ADC register if( ADC_DATA_REG_ADDR != address ) { // re-write data back to register SPIM_WriteTxData(address | ADDRESS_WRITE_ENABLE); SPIM_WriteTxData(highByte); SPIM_WriteTxData(lowByte); } success = TRUE; } /* NOTE: if success is FALSE, the AFE is in an unknown state and will need to be reset */ return( success ); } </pre>
I am attaching a PNG of the master clocking data out of the slave. The master writes a 0x21 to get data from the slave followed by two dummy bytes. The dummy bytes are correctly verified to contain 0x81 and 0xC3. The PSoC does not received these bytes for some reason.
Thank you.
