nrf52 SPIM easyDMA

[yaron]

Hi In my application I need to transfer several paires of bytes to a slave device, and it's mandatory for CS signal to go high between pairs. (This actually means I have to use several SPIM transfers) Is there a way to configure the DMA module to use consecutive TX pointer addresses between transfers? (for example: in the first transfer I configure TXD.PTR to 0x1000, so that data from address 0x1000 & 0x1001 are sent on the first transfer. I want the second transfer to use addresses 0x1002-1003, without the need to re-configure TXD.PTR).

Thanks Yaron

This seems to be exactly what EasyDMA List mode does. Check the manual and make sure you have the latest engineering revision of the chip because the first version's EasyDMA List mode wasn't functional.

yes I did. But I have noticed that the LIST register shows the value "0x3", even though I wrote "0x7" to it (like the manual sais)
