Using SPI to communicate with L6470 and nRF52832

Hello,

I previously posted that I had issues working with communicating with the L6470 stepper driver from ST Micro using the nRF52832.

https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/104750/struggling-with-spi-on-nrf52832-communicating-with-l6470

I have since done something with that project to break it and decided to create a new project. 

Attached is my new code.  I tried to build this with SDK 2.5.0.

spi_L6470_ncs_2_5_0.zip

What is strange is that it looks like it builds successfully as it shows the memory usage and then shows an error after that.

If anyone can assist with debugging that would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

I am trying to use SPI1 to communicate with the L6470.
