Seems like nobody can help me with that. I also tried BitBanging but it doesnt work either.

Hello tnn!

Some years ago, I read this ST7 Application Note

http://www.st.com/internet/com/TECHNICAL_RESOURCES/TECHNICAL_LITERATURE/APPLICATION_NOTE/CD00004301.pdf

which should work for STM8 too. I hope it could help you... EtaPhi

Hi,

actually i want to write something TO the Master. If i send something like : void sendValue (signed short int value) {     unsigned char UpperByte = (unsigned char) (value >> 8);     unsigned char LowerByte = (unsigned char) (value >> 0);     //Value is Transmitted in bit 14:3 //    while (SPI_GetFlagStatus(SPI_FLAG_TXE) == RESET);     //!!!!!first bit (bit 15) doesnt care)     SPI_SendData(UpperByte); //    while (SPI_GetFlagStatus(SPI_FLAG_TXE) == RESET);     //!!!!!last three bits (bit 2:0) doesnt care)     SPI_SendData(LowerByte);     } it sends the UpperByte twice. One time in the first 8 clock cycles and the second time in the second 8 clock cycles.

The problem is that the highest frequency of SPI can only set to f_Master/2, which means i could only reach 1Mhz. I switched to 16Mhz High Speed External Oscillator no Prescaler to solve this problem.  while (SPI_GetFlagStatus(SPI_FLAG_TXE) == RESET) lines need to be uncommented!!!
