Confusing how to integrate SPI master and slave drivers/HAL in my C code

Ok so I am trying to integrate SPI master and slave initialization code. I am very confused about legacy and non-legacy drivers and HAL. I am getting strange compilation and linking errors. Please help me out on this.

I am compiling following SPI related driver files in my IAR project:

  • modules\nrfx\drivers\src\nrfx_spi.c
  • modules\nrfx\drivers\src\nrfx_spis.c
  • modules\nrfx\drivers\src\nrfx_spim.c
  • integration\nrfx\legacy\nrf_drv_spi.c
  • integration\nrfx\legacy\nrf_drv_spis.c

What I need:

  • One SPI controller on nrf52832 that I want o use in either master or mode (as I have just four hardwired GPIO pins connected to my another device on my custom board. ).  I will switch the mode of the same SPI controller device from slave to master and vice versa as needed(depends on which state my nrf52 is in).
  • Specify frequency(mbps,hz) for both master/slave configuration. I did find this setting for master, but for some reason I cannot locate this in initialization C structures for slave configuration.
  • Blocking/non-blocking modes in DMA/non-DMA configuration
  • I prefer not to use any legacy SPI driver/hal unless I will compromise on above requirements.

So here are my questions:

  1. Which SPI driver/HAL header (.h) files should I use in my C code and which C driver/HAL files should I compile & link with my project ? 
  2. What  is the different between SPI, SPIM and SPIS ? Which one should I use for master and which one for slave ? 
  3. Which of the following flags should I enable to use 0th SPI controller instance for master/slave ?
  4. How do I specify frequency configuration for SPI slave configuration ?

  • Thanks I will have a look.

    So what I did so far I am linking my project with only nrfx drivers and their headers, namely:

    • modules\nrfx\drivers\src\nrfx_spis.c 
    • modules\nrfx\drivers\src\nrfx_spim.c

    I changed my code to use only functions in the headers for above driver.

    From my sdk_config.h, I also removed many SPI legacy macros which are irrelevant.

    However, astonishingly I am still getting the same error. 

    Error[Li006]: duplicate definitions for "SPIM0_SPIS0_TWIM0_TWIS0_SPI0_TWI0_IRQHandler"; in "D:\nRF\sdk\nRF5_SDK_15.3.0_59ac345\examples\ble_peripheral\custom_project\pca10040\s132\iar\_build\nrfx_spim.o", and

    I saw another related post: "SPIM3 initialization issue" , however SPI rleated macros still remain confusing.

    Not able to proceed forward. 

  • Ok so I fixed the issue. Issue occurs if I associate same device id with both master and slave instances:

    #define SPI_DEV_ID_0 0
    
    
    nrfx_spim_t const hSpiMasterDev0 = NRFX_SPIM_INSTANCE(SPI_DEV_ID_0);
    nrfx_spis_t const hSpiSlaveDev0 = NRFX_SPIS_INSTANCE(SPI_DEV_ID_0);

    However, if I change the device id for master and slave instances then problem goes away and it compiles & links successfully:
