SPI Master Driver

The SPI Master drivers used in QMK have a set of common functions to allow portability between MCUs.

AVR Configuration

No special setup is required - just connect the SS, SCK, MOSI and MISO pins of your SPI devices to the matching pins on the MCU:

MCU SS SCK MOSI MISO
ATMega16/32U2/4 B0 B1 B2 B3
AT90USB64/128 B0 B1 B2 B3
ATmega32A B4 B7 B5 B6
ATmega328P B2 B5 B3 B4

You may use more than one slave select pin, not just the SS pin. This is useful when you have multiple devices connected and need to communicate with them individually. SPI_SS_PIN can be passed to spi_start() to refer to SS.

ARM Configuration

ARM support for this driver is not ready yet. Check back later!

Functions

void spi_init(void)

Initialize the SPI driver. This function must be called only once, before any of the below functions can be called.

void spi_start(pin_t slavePin, bool lsbFirst, uint8_t mode, uint8_t divisor)

Start an SPI transaction.

Arguments

  • pin_t slavePin
    The QMK pin to assert as the slave select pin, eg. B4.

  • bool lsbFirst
    Determines the endianness of the transmission. If true, the least significant bit of each byte is sent first.

  • uint8_t mode
    The SPI mode to use:

    Mode Clock Polarity Clock Phase
    0 Leading edge rising Sample on leading edge
    1 Leading edge rising Sample on trailing edge
    2 Leading edge falling Sample on leading edge
    3 Leading edge falling Sample on trailing edge

  • uint8_t divisor
    The SPI clock divisor, will be rounded up to the nearest power of two. This number can be calculated by dividing the MCU's clock speed by the desired SPI clock speed. For example, an MCU running at 8 MHz wanting to talk to an SPI device at 4 MHz would set the divisor to 2.

spi_status_t spi_write(uint8_t data, uint16_t timeout)

Write a byte to the selected SPI device.

Arguments

  • uint8_t data
    The byte to write.
  • uint16_t timeout
    The amount of time to wait, in milliseconds, before timing out.

Return Value

SPI_STATUS_TIMEOUT if the timeout period elapses, or SPI_STATUS_SUCCESS.

spi_status_t spi_read(uint16_t timeout)

Read a byte from the selected SPI device.

Arguments

  • uint16_t timeout
    The amount of time to wait, in milliseconds, before timing out.

Return Value

SPI_STATUS_TIMEOUT if the timeout period elapses, or the byte read from the device.

spi_status_t spi_transmit(const uint8_t *data, uint16_t length, uint16_t timeout)

Send multiple bytes to the selected SPI device.

Arguments

  • const uint8_t *data
    A pointer to the data to write from.
  • uint16_t length
    The number of bytes to write. Take care not to overrun the length of data.
  • uint16_t timeout
    The amount of time to wait, in milliseconds, before timing out.

Return Value

SPI_STATUS_TIMEOUT if the timeout period elapses, SPI_STATUS_SUCCESS on success, or SPI_STATUS_ERROR otherwise.

spi_status_t spi_receive(uint8_t *data, uint16_t length, uint16_t timeout)

Receive multiple bytes from the selected SPI device.

Arguments

  • uint8_t *data
    A pointer to the buffer to read into.
  • uint16_t length
    The number of bytes to read. Take care not to overrun the length of data.
  • uint16_t timeout
    The amount of time to wait, in milliseconds, before timing out.

Return Value

SPI_STATUS_TIMEOUT if the timeout period elapses, SPI_STATUS_SUCCESS on success, or SPI_STATUS_ERROR otherwise.

void spi_stop(void)

End the current SPI transaction. This will deassert the slave select pin and reset the endianness, mode and divisor configured by spi_start().
