Use the default jumper settings.

Prepare the Demo

  1. Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the FRDM board J10.

  2. Open a serial terminal with the following settings:

    • 115200 baud rate

    • 8 data bits

    • No parity

    • One stop bit

    • No flow control

  3. Download the program to the target board.

  4. Either press the reset button on your board or launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.

Running the demo

The following lines are printed to the serial terminal when the demo program is executed.

FreeRTOS SPI example start.
This example use one SPI instance as master and another as slave on one board.
Master and slave are both use interrupt way.
Please make sure you make the correct line connection. Basically, the connection is: 
 SPI_master -- SPI_slave   
   SCK      --    SCK  
   PCS0     --    PCS0 
   SOUT     --    SIN  
   SIN      --    SOUT
