Hardware requirements

  • Mini USB cable

  • Two FRDM-K32L2A4S boards

  • Personal Computer

Board settings

SPI one board: Transfer data from one board instance to another board’s instance. SPI0 pins are connected with SPI0 pins of another board

INSTANCE0(SPI0)     CONNECTS TO         INSTANCE0(SPI0)
Pin Name   Board Location     Pin Name  Board Location
SOUT        J2 pin 8            SIN       J2 pin 10
SIN         J2 pin 10           SOUT      J2 pin 8
SCK         J2 pin 12           SCK       J2 pin 12
PCS0        J2 pin 6            PCS0      J2 pin 6
GND         J2 pin 14           GND       J2 pin 14

Prepare the Demo

  1. Connect a mini USB cable between the PC host and the OpenSDA USB port on the board.

  2. Open a serial terminal on PC for OpenSDA serial device with these settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Reset the SoC and run the project.

Running the demo

When the demo runs successfully, the log would be seen on the OpenSDA terminal like:

LPSPI board to board polling example.
This example use one board as master and another as slave.
Master uses polling way and slave uses interrupt way. 
Please make sure you make the correct line connection. Basically, the connection is: 
LPSPI_master --  LPSPI_slave   
   CLK       --    CLK  
   PCS       --    PCS 
   SOUT      --    SIN  
   SIN       --    SOUT 
   GND       --    GND 

 Master transmit:

  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  B  C  D  E  F 10
 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 20
 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 2A 2B 2C 2D 2E 2F 30
 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 3A 3B 3C 3D 3E 3F 40
 
LPSPI transfer all data matched! 

 Master received:

  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  A  B  C  D  E  F 10
 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 1A 1B 1C 1D 1E 1F 20
