In this tutorial, well be discussing the SPI hardware in STMS2 microcontrollers.
‘Starting with an introduction to the Serial Perigheral Interface (SP!) communication.
‘And well got a closer look at the STMS2 SPI hardware module and! its intemal
functionaltas, modes of operation, options, and configurations, In conclusion, wall
take a look at the possibe interrupt signals that can be triggered by the SPI hardware.
‘And the diferent modes to perform SPI transmit & receive operations ike (poling —
interrupt ~ DMA.
Finaly, well check the available SPI configuration inside of CubeMAX and how tocontigure & operate te penpheral using the provided HAL AIS. And thats fortis
theoretical tutorial. Next, welll do a couple of LABS to practice using SPI in diferent
projects for communication and modules interfacing with STMS2 microcontrolers,

1. Introduction To SP! Communication
‘SPI is an seronym for (Serial Peripheral Interface) pronounced as °S-P.I" er “Spy’
Which is an interface bus typicaly used for serial communication between
‘microcomputer systems and other devices, memories, and sensors, Usually used to
Interface Flash Memories, ADC, DAC, RTC, LCD, SDeaeds, and much more. The
SPI was orginally developed by Motorola back in the 80s to provide ful-duplex eeral
‘communication o be used In embedded systems applications
SPI Pin Conventions & Connections
In typical SPI communication, there should be atleast 2 devices attached! to the SPI
‘bus, One of them should be the master and the other will essentialy be a slave, The.
‘master initiates communication by generating a seta clock signal to chit a data frame
‘ut, atthe same time serial data is being shiftedsn tothe master, This process is the.

Its usually an active-tow signal.
SPI Modes of Operation
Devices on the SPI bus can operate in either mode ofthe
{ollowing: Master or Slave. There must be atleast one master who inatos the serial,
communication process (For Readingiviting). On the other hand, there can be
single or muliple devices operating in slave mode,
‘The master device can select which slave to tak to by setting the SS (clave select)
pin to logic low. Ifa single slave is being adcressed, you can te the SS pin of this
slave device to logic low without the need to contel this line by the master‘The master SPI device is responsible for generating the clock signal to initiate and
continue the dsta transaction process. The master, therefore, determines the dsta
rate by contoling the serial clock line's (SCK) frequency which is a programmable
‘parameter in hardware by fimvere instructions
‘The SPI clock has two more parameters to control wich are the Clock Phase
(CPHA) and the Clock Polarity (CPOL). The clock phase determines the phase at
which the data latching occurs at each bit transfer whether its the leading edge or the
waling edge. The clock polarty determines the IDLE state ofthe clock ine whether
it's aHIGH or LOW, Having 2 possible states for each ofthe CPOL and CPHA gives.
Us a total of 4 possible mades forthe SPI clock. Typical refered to es “SPI Mode

2.1 STM32 SPI Hardware Overview
the STMS2 SPI interface provides two main functions, supporting ether the SPI
protocol or the [2S audio protocol. By default, itis the SPI function that is selected. It
| possible to switch the intorface from SPI to 12S by sofware
‘The setal peripheral interface (SPI) allows half fulduplex, synchronous, serial
communiestion wth external devices. The interface can be configured a the master
and in this cae, # provides the communication clack (SCK) to the external slavedevice, The interface is also capable of operating in a multimaster configuration
