Expand description

Interfaces for SPI controller (master) and peripheral (slave) communication. We use the terms master/slave in some situations because the term peripheral can also refer to a hardware peripheral (e.g., memory-mapped I/O devices in ARM are called peripherals).

Enums

  • Clock phase (CPHA) defines whether to sample and send data on a leading or trailing clock edge; consult a SPI reference on how CPHA interacts with CPOL.
  • Clock polarity (CPOL) defines whether the SPI clock is high or low when idle.
  • Data order defines the order of bits sent over the wire: most significant first, or least significant first.

Traits

  • The SpiMaster trait for interacting with SPI slave devices at a byte or buffer level.
  • Trait for clients of a SPI bus in master mode.
  • SPIMasterDevice provides a chip-select-specific interface to the SPI Master hardware, such that a client cannot changethe chip select line.
  • Trait for SPI peripherals (slaves) to exchange data with a contoller (master). This is a low-level trait typically implemented by hardware: higher level software typically uses the SpiSlaveDevice trait, which is provided by a virtualizing/multiplexing layer.
  • Trait for SPI peripherals (slaves) to receive callbacks when the corresponding controller (master) issues operations. A SPI operation begins with a callback of chip_selected. If the client has provided buffers with SpiSlave::read_write_bytes, these buffers are written from and read into until the operation completes or one of them fills, at which point a SpiSlaveClient::read_write_done callback is called. If the client needs to read/write more it can call SpiSlave::read_write_bytes again. Note that there is no notification when the chip select line goes high.
  • SPISlaveDevice is an interface to a SPI bus in peripheral mode. It is the standard trait used by services within the kernel: SpiSlave is for lower-level access responsible for initializing hardware.
