I am writing sample demo Application to test data transfer between SPI Master(Nucleo F411RE) and SPI Slavee(Nucleo H755ZI-Q) device.

Master SPI:
/**SPI2 GPIO Configuration
PC2 ------> SPI2_MISO
PC3 ------> SPI2_MOSI
PB10 ------> SPI2_SCK

Slave SPI:
/**SPI1 GPIO Configuration
PA5 ------> SPI1_SCK
PA6 ------> SPI1_MISO
PB5 ------> SPI1_MOSI

For validating what data Slave SPI device receiving over SPI I am sending this data over UART to display it on Host PC 

Here is SLAVE SPI device UART response:
What I am seeing is that SPI receives wrong data instead of 0x41 (Send by master)

 

 

Slave Received SPI data: 0x60
Slave Transmit SPI data: 0xAA
Slave Received SPI data: 0x60
Slave Transmit SPI data: 0xAA
Slave Received SPI data: 0x60
Slave Transmit SPI data: 0xAA
Slave Received SPI data: 0x60
Slave Transmit SPI data: 0xAA
Slave Received SPI data: 0x60
Slave Transmit SPI data: 0xAA
Slave Received SPI data: 0x60
Slave Transmit SPI data: 0xAA
Slave Received SPI data: 0x60
Slave Transmit SPI data: 0xAA

 

 

 


Master SPI Code:

 

 

  uint8_t message[1] = {0x41};
  int counter = 0;
  while (1)
  {
	  HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(LD2_GPIO_Port, LD2_Pin);
	  HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi2, message, 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY);
	  HAL_Delay(500);
	  counter++;

SLAVE SPI code:

  uint8_t tx_uart_buff[50];
  while (1)
  {
	  // Wait for data from the Master
      if (HAL_SPI_Receive(&hspi1, rxData, 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY) == HAL_OK) {
          // Data received successfully, respond to master

    	  snprintf((char*)tx_uart_buff, sizeof(tx_uart_buff), "Slave Received SPI data: 0x%02X\r\n", rxData[0]);
	  	  HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart3,tx_uart_buff,sizeof(tx_uart_buff),10);

    	  HAL_GPIO_TogglePin(LD1_GPIO_Port, LD1_Pin); // Example: Toggle an LED
          HAL_SPI_Transmit(&hspi1, txData, 1, HAL_MAX_DELAY); // Send response to the master

I have also attached full Master and Slave CubeIDE Project.
If anyone can help me to figure out issue here as SPI Slave always reads wrong data.

@tjaekel  Master is sending correct data which I have validated based on loopback mode: Master and Slave SPI configuration generated automatically based on STM32CubeMX tool I have provided both Master and SPI configure settings in which you can see NNS settings as SPI_NSS_SOFT which sets that bit which you are referring 

 

 

 uint8_t tx_uart_buff[50];
 uint8_t message_tx[1] = {0xBB};
 uint8_t message_rx[1] = {0x0};

  while (1)
  {
		  if(HAL_SPI_TransmitReceive(&hspi2,message_tx,message_rx,1,HAL_MAX_DELAY) == HAL_OK) {
			  snprintf((char*)tx_uart_buff, sizeof(tx_uart_buff), "Received SPI data: 0x%02X\r\n", message_rx[0]);
			  HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2,tx_uart_buff,sizeof(tx_uart_buff),10);
		  } else {
			  snprintf((char*)tx_uart_buff, sizeof(tx_uart_buff), "Received SPI Error:\r\n");
			  HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart2,tx_uart_buff,sizeof(tx_uart_buff),10);
		  }
	  HAL_Delay(500);
	  counter++;
    /* USER CODE END WHILE */

    /* USER CODE BEGIN 3 */
  }

// This Master SPI setting generated based on CubeMX IDE which sets CS to SPI_NSS_SOFT Mode
 void MX_SPI2_Init(void)
{

  /* USER CODE BEGIN SPI2_Init 0 */

  /* USER CODE END SPI2_Init 0 */

  /* USER CODE BEGIN SPI2_Init 1 */

  /* USER CODE END SPI2_Init 1 */
  /* SPI2 parameter configuration*/
  hspi2.Instance = SPI2;
  hspi2.Init.Mode = SPI_MODE_MASTER;
  hspi2.Init.Direction = SPI_DIRECTION_2LINES;
  hspi2.Init.DataSize = SPI_DATASIZE_8BIT;
  hspi2.Init.CLKPolarity = SPI_POLARITY_LOW;
  hspi2.Init.CLKPhase = SPI_PHASE_1EDGE;
  hspi2.Init.NSS = SPI_NSS_SOFT;

-> I have connected same:

MOSI Master to Slave MOSI 
MISO Master to Slave MISO
SCL Master to Slave SCL

-> I have also verified based on initial code  that If I stop sending data from Master to SLAVE MCU , Slave SPI doesn't receive anything, and when Master sends one byte data to Slave then only Slave receives 1 byte however its wrong byte I am receiving which is an issue I have


# Master
-> SPI Baud Rate = 1.3125 Mbps
-> Full-Duplex Master
-> Hardware control CS : Disabled
