SPI Master component

Low level routines for controlling or interacting with an SPI interface. SPI or Serial Peripheral Interface is a bus used for board level communications between devices. A target microcontroller will usually have at least one hardware SPI peripheral built in. If the hardware SPI pins are in use or more SPI channels are required then there is also a software mode available. Has additional functions to work with the E-blocks EB013 SPI hardware.

Property reference

Properties
Connections
Channel
SPI Channel selector 
MOSI
SPI Data Out Pin SDO - Also Known as Master Out Slave In (MOSI) when used in Master mode. 
MISO
SPI Data In Pin SDI - Also Known as Master In Slave Out (MISO) when used in Master mode. 
CLK
SPI Clock Pin CLK - The Clock signal is driven by the SPI master. 
DAC En
DAC enable pin - only used with the EB013 SPI E-block 
NVM En
NVM enable pin - only used with the EB013 SPI E-block 
Bus Settings
Board Version
The Latest version of the E-block have a newer NVM IC which requires 3 address bytes instead of 2 address bytes. If you find that the NVM is not responding to commands then try changing the version property to match the version of the E-block. The version is written on the board as EB013-00-X where X is the version number. 
Prescale
Prescale option selector 
Clock Phase
Clock Phase (data change edge) selection 
Clock Polarity
Clock Polarity setting, inactive (idle) state 
Sample Point
Data bit read sample point 
Simulation
Label
Label used to identify the component on the panel. 
Scope Traces
Selects if the scope traces are automatically generated or not 
Console Data
Selects if the console data is automatically generated or not
