SPI controller on Slave generate RXNE interrupt before last bit was received

Hello,

I want to realize a SPI master slave communication with an STM32F0 Microcontroller. My SPI master use the following configuration:

- Most Significant Bit first

- 8 Bits per Transfer

- Clock is Low when inactive (CPOL = 0)

- Data is Valid on Clock Leading Edge (CPHA = 0)

- Enable Line is Active Low

The SPI frame is 32 bit long. The first transmit byte contains the address and the information if it is an read / write request. I use the CMSIS Libary to configure the SPI controller. In order to capture the first byte I setup my slave as follow:

  SPI_InitTypeDef SPI_InitStructure;

  SPI_InitStructure.SPI_DataSize = SPI_DataSize_8b;

   /* clock to zero when idle */

   SPI_InitStructure.SPI_CPOL = SPI_CPOL_Low;

   /* The first clock transition is the first data caputure edge */

   SPI_InitStructure.SPI_CPHA = SPI_CPHA_1Edge;

   /* TODO: EAC requirements, SPI speed Master mode is 3MHz */

   SPI_InitStructure.SPI_BaudRatePrescaler = SPI_BaudRatePrescaler_8;

   SPI_InitStructure.SPI_FirstBit = SPI_FirstBit_MSB;

   SPI_InitStructure.SPI_Direction = SPI_Direction_2Lines_FullDuplex;

   SPI_InitStructure.SPI_NSS  = SPI_NSS_Hard;

   SPI_InitStructure.SPI_Mode = SPI_Mode_Slave;

   SPI_I2S_DeInit(CTRL_SPIx);

   SPI_Init(CTRL_SPIx, &SPI_InitStructure);

   NVIC_EnableIRQ(SPIx_IRQn);

/* Configures the FIFO reception threshold to

    * generate an RXNE interrupt request event if the FIFO

    * level is greater or equal to 1/4.

    */

   SPI_RxFIFOThresholdConfig (CTRL_SPIx, SPI_RxFIFOThreshold_QF );

   /* Enable the TXE and RXNE interrupt */

   SPI_I2S_ITConfig (CTRL_SPIx, SPI_I2S_IT_TXE,  DISABLE);

   SPI_I2S_ITConfig (CTRL_SPIx, SPI_I2S_IT_RXNE, ENABLE);

   SPI_I2S_ITConfig (CTRL_SPIx, SPI_I2S_IT_ERR,  DISABLE);

   /* Enable the SPI peripheral */

   SPI_Cmd(CTRL_SPIx, ENABLE);

In my SPI interrupt I do the following thinks:

  if (CTRL_SPIx->SR & SPI_I2S_FLAG_RXNE)

   {

      uint16_t rx=0;

      DB_PIN1_SET();

      rx = CTRL_SPIx->DR;

      CTRL_SPIx->DR = 0xAA;

      SPI_I2S_ClearFlag  ( CTRL_SPIx,   SPI_I2S_FLAG_RXNE );

      DB_PIN1_RESET();

   }

   else

   {

      SPI_I2S_ClearFlag  ( CTRL_SPIx,   SPI_I2S_FLAG_TXE );

      SPI_I2S_ClearFlag  ( CTRL_SPIx,   SPI_I2S_FLAG_BSY );

      SPI_I2S_ClearFlag  ( CTRL_SPIx,   SPI_I2S_FLAG_OVR );

   }

When I stopped the Processor in the SPI Interrupt the SPI Controller has the following configuration:

CR1: 0x50

CR2: 0x1740

SR: 0x483

DR: 0x0

CRCPR: 0x2

RXCRCR: 0x0

TXCRCR: 0x0

I2SCFGR: 0x0

ISPR: 0x2

The attached file shows the SPI communication. DEBUG_PIN1 is set when enter the SPI interrupt and reset before leave the SPI interrupt.

Thank you every body for your support.

Best regards,

Stefan.

Problem solved..

I realised, that the slave does not react to the CSn properly. After some investigation I looked again at the slave code and found that the slaves' CS input was not configured.

After setting it to input with the corresponding alternate function, the slave triggers after the 8th received bit, as desired.

Thanks a lot for hints and tips.

Regards,

Lukas

>I looked again

Yes, the ultimate debugging method - staring at the code.

I wish I knew all the time *where* to look... ;)

Thanks for letting us know.
