RE: nRF52832 with ads1292 using SPI

Hi Zou

First question:
When the SPI master clock toggles it will send data present in the m_tx_buf and receive as many bytes at the same time and store it in m_rx_buf. It will read whatever is present on the MISO pin and store that in the m_rx_buf buffer. It is up to the SPI slave what is present on the MISO line when SPI transmission takes place. So it is up to the adc1292 what it clocks out on MISO when it has nothing to send. For nRF52 SPI slave, it clocks out so called Overread character, or ORC, which ususally has value 0x55 if I remember correctly.

Second question: If this is ads1292 specific, perhaps TI is better to answer.
