Communication between stm32 and raspberry pi4 through spi or i2c.

[suhfi]

Hello, I am doing a project with STM32F411RE NUCLEO board. I have downloaded the zip file from the web builder GRBLHAL. i have attached the file here. And I have successfully imported the zip folder onto the stm32cubeide. So for that project I want to add communication through SPI. and there is a SPI communication can be used for that project.

as in my previous query, i came to know that with UART communication, USB connector which is connected to cn1 of the board and raspberry pi USB connection - i am able to communicate. as i understood that, to communicate between raspberry pi  and stm32, i don't need to connect tx of pi -> rx of board, rx of pi -> tx of board, gnd to gnd. but can able to communicate through a connector. will that be possible with spi communication also. if no, then how can be the easy way to communicate between raspberry pi 4b and stm32f411re. and i forgot to mention that, in that file i am not able to find uart communication, i can only see the header files of spi, i2c, usb_device. can you please give me clarity over this ?

Hello, 

Not clear: you need a communication with UART or SPI?

earlier i have done communication with uart, can i use the same connector or connections for spi also? if not how should i connect?

So why the title mentions UART?

Why SPI?

Why can't you figure out what the issues are with USB/UART and fix/address those?

You have RPi side drivers that can do SPI simply?

Is the power supply or setup adequate to support the NUCLEO and everything else hung off it?

What do you mean by that?

Sure, you can always use a connector to make connections - it's in the very name!

You've already seen that you can do this with a UART link - either direct or via USB.

So what do you think is not "easy" about this?

What problem(s)/limitation(s) do you have that you think that SPI (or anything else) might solve?

I see no reason to believe that SPI is going to be any easier than UART. On the contrary, UART is very widely used and easy to test - so, if you're stuck with that, I can't see that you'll fare any better with anything else.
