I have a question regarding to the selection of the GPIO speed setting in SPI configuration. as far as I understand is that it helps to adjuste the rising time of the signal.
my question is basically , how it is this being done in the controller ?
furthermore, what is the impedance measurment on each speed setting
Thanks

Yes, it is more of a slew rate setting
It is typically achieved by cascading transistor/inverter structures of increasing size, able to switch more current into a capacitive load.
If you have short traces, small loading, you can back-off the speed setting so as to avoid over/under-shoot and ringing.
