ECSPI board to board: Transfers data through the instance 2 of the ECSPI interface. ECSPI2 pins of the master board are connected to the ECSPI2 pins of the slave board.
MASTER BOARD CONNECTS TO SLAVE BOARD
Pin Name Board Location Pin Name Board Location
MISO J21 - 21 MISO J21 - 21
MOSI J21 - 19 MOSI J21 - 19
SCK J21 - 23 SCK J21 - 23
SS0 J21 - 24 SS0 J21 - 24

Prepare the Demo
Connect 12V power supply and J-Link Debug Probe to the board, switch SW3 to power on the board
Connect a USB cable between the host PC and the J23 USB port on the target board.
Open a serial terminal with the following settings:
115200 baud rate
8 data bits
No parity
One stop bit
No flow control
Download the program to the target board.
Launch the debugger in your IDE to begin running the demo.
Running the demo
When the demo runs successfully, the log would be seen on the debug terminal like:
ECSPI board to board interrupt example.
This example use one board as master and another as slave.
Master and slave uses interrupt way. Slave should start first.
Please make sure you make the correct line connection. Basically, the connection is:
ECSPI_master -- ECSPI_slave
CLK -- CLK
PCS -- PCS
MOSI -- MOSI
MISO -- MISO
GND -- GND
Master transmit:
