Setup Hardware SPI
PostPosted: Fri Jul 16, 2021 7:45 pm     Reply with quote

To use SPI by hardware from 18f2550/4550, just declare it like this?

Code:
void main(void
 {
  ...
  setup_spi(SPI_MASTER|SPI_L_TO_H |SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H|SPI_CLK_DIV_16);
  ...


How do I change to 16bit to match this one?

Code:
#use SPI(DO=PIN_A0,DI=PIN_A3,CLK=PIN_A2,MODE=0,BAUD =270000,BITS=16,msb_first,SAMPLE_RISE,STREAM = max7912)


Using the configuration below, will i be using the hardware?

Code:
#use SPI (MASTER,SPI1,baud=1000000,MODE=0,BITS=16,msb_first)

It should. To confirm it, look at the .LST file in symbolic mode.
You should see something like this:
Code:

.................... #use SPI (MASTER,SPI1,baud=1000000,MODE=0,BITS=16,msb_first)
0004:  MOVF   SSPBUF,W
0006:  MOVFF  ??65535+1,SSPBUF
000A:  RRCF   SSPSTAT,W
000C:  BTFSS  STATUS.C
000E:  GOTO   000A
0012:  MOVF   SSPBUF,W
0014:  MOVWF  @01
0016:  MOVFF  ??65535,SSPBUF
001A:  RRCF   SSPSTAT,W
001C:  BTFSS  STATUS.C
001E:  GOTO   001A
0022:  MOVFF  SSPBUF,00
0026:  GOTO   0054 (RETURN)

The code above is using the hardware SPI registers.

You'll be using the hardware, but not on the pins listed.

SPI1 on the 2550/4550, uses pin B0 for SDI, C7 for SDO and B1 for SCK.

setup_spi, cannot do 16bit transfers.

If you read the manual for #use SPI, you will find no reference to
setup_spi, spi_read or spi_write.

setup_spi, is designed to be used with spi_read and spi_write, and is the
'older' way of setting up the SPI. It only supports the hardware, and therefore
8bit transfers.

#use SPI, is the later setup for SPI. It is designed to be used with spi_xfer,
not spi_read/write. This command brings with it the capability for up to
32bit transfers, by automatically performing multiple transfers.

So your #use SPI, will be using the hardware, on pins B0, C7 and B1,
but to perform 16bit transfers the code will have to change and use
spi_xfer, rather than spi_read/spi_write.

I didn't post my source code for that listing. Here it is:
Code:

#include <18F4550.h>
#fuses HS, NOWDT 
#use delay(clock=20M)

#use SPI (MASTER,SPI1,baud=1000000,MODE=0,BITS=16,msb_first)

//=================================
void main()
{
spi_xfer(0x1234);

while(TRUE);
}
 

It does two sequential 8-bit transfers to get 16 bits.

Yes. The key is that PCM correctly used the SPI_xfer... Very Happy

I read it PCM, that he is changing something in some existing code
that used setup_spi. Hence it is vital to realise that he needs to change
both the #use, and the actual I/O function used. Very Happy

Thanks for the answers.
Both 'setup_spi' and "#use SPI (MASTER,SPI1..." use the hardware, but i'm using "setup_spi" because I can choose the speed following the datasheet(4,16 and 64), using "#use SPI (MASTER..." ,i don't know if the speed is that shown in BAUD.

Here are the changes that were needed:

Code:
void main(void
 {
  ...
  setup_spi(SPI_MASTER|SPI_L_TO_H |SPI_XMIT_L_TO_H|SPI_CLK_DIV_16);
  ...


Code:
void sendData(unsigned int16 data)
{
  output_low(CS);
  spi_write(make8(data,1));
  spi_write(make8(data,0));
  output_high(CS);
}
.....
void skip_data()
{
  spi_write(0x00);
  spi_write(0x00);
}
