Hi,

I am trying to get the hardware to control the NSS line on a SPI bus but it is not cooperating. I am talking to a DAC that requires 16 bits per transmission and 4 transmissions because its a quad DAC. The NSS line needs to go low at the beginning of the transmission (16 bits) and then go high again until the next transmission. I tried all the setting but could not get the hardware to do this. I am generating NSS manually through software right now, but I want to use DMA for this and need the hardware to handle the NSS line. Any ideas?

Thanks!

I haven't fought with this recently, but ST's design is known to be brain damaged...

While reading the SPI chapter in RM0360, you may want to focus on the NSS pulse mode subchapter.
