SPI with DMA only with NSS hard?

Hello :)

I created a working test programm with SPI over DMA with NSS hard. But then the problem is that CS never goes up. So I wan't to choose NSS soft, but then nothing happens on MISO/MOSI/CS/SCK.Is there any opportunity to manually set levels of NSS hard CS pin and does it only works with NSS hard?Thanks for answers!Florian

This is the sort of thing you need to do during initialisation:

spi.

SPI_NSS

=

SPI_NSS_Soft

;

SPI_Init

(

SPIx

,

&

spi

)

;

SPI_NSSInternalSoftwareConfig

(

SPIx

,

SPI_NSSInternalSoft_Set

)

;

Define the nSS pin as a GPIO output then use the GPIO functions to raise and lower nSS before and after an SPI transaction.The key thing to remember is that nSS is not a chip select - it's an indication that the STM32's output drivers are driving the bus.
