SPI communication problems

[shy13728]

Why does my serial port open affect SPI communication

Hi,

Can you elaborate a little on what it is you are doing?

Hello! Now I mainly do the drive control of SPI to ADC chip, but when I open the serial port to see the data, SPI communication has a problem, there is no write value

Hi,
Could you post your code so it's possible to see what it is you are doing?

Please note that we have example code for SPI in our SDK that you can use as reference:
SPI Master Example

nrfx SPI Master Example

void hal_spi_init(void)//This is my SPI initialization code
{
 
    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(AEF_START);
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(AEF_START);
    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(AEF_RESET);
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(AEF_RESET);

    nrf_gpio_cfg_input(AEF_RDRDY,  NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLDOWN);

    nrf_drv_spi_config_t spi_config = NRF_DRV_SPI_DEFAULT_CONFIG;
//     spi_config.ss_pin   = BOARD_SPI0_CSN_IO;
    spi_config.miso_pin = BOARD_SPI0_MISO_IO;
    spi_config.mosi_pin = BOARD_SPI0_MOSI_IO;
    spi_config.sck_pin  = BOARD_SPI0_CLK_IO;
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(nrf_drv_spi_init(&spi, &spi_config, spi_event_handler, NULL));
	
    nrf_gpio_cfg_output(BOARD_SPI0_CSN_IO);
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(BOARD_SPI0_CSN_IO);
}



uint8_t SpiFlash_ReadOneByte(void)
{
   
    spi_xfer_done = false;

    nrf_drv_spi_transfer(&spi, 0x00, 1, spi_rx_buf, 1);

    while(!spi_xfer_done)
        ;
	 
    return (spi_rx_buf[0]);
}
 
void SpiFlash_WriteOneByte(uint8_t Dat)
{
    

    spi_tx_buf[0] = Dat;
    spi_xfer_done = false;
    nrf_drv_spi_transfer(&spi,spi_tx_buf, 1, spi_tx_buf, 1 );
    while(!spi_xfer_done)
        ;
}

This is my SPI initialization code and SPI write read function, which is done according to the example of sdk15.0

void UART_Init(void)
{

uint32_t err_code;

	   
    const app_uart_comm_params_t comm_params =
      {
          RX_PIN_NUMBER,
          TX_PIN_NUMBER,
          RTS_PIN_NUMBER,
          CTS_PIN_NUMBER,
          UART_HWFC,
          false,
#if defined (UART_PRESENT)
          NRF_UART_BAUDRATE_115200
#else
          NRF_UARTE_BAUDRATE_115200
#endif
      };
     
    APP_UART_FIFO_INIT(&comm_params,
                         UART_RX_BUF_SIZE,
                         UART_TX_BUF_SIZE,
                         uart_error_handle, 
                         APP_IRQ_PRIORITY_LOWEST,
                         err_code);

    APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);
}
void UART_WriteData(uint8_t *pData, uint8_t dataLen)
{
	uint8_t i;
	for(i = 0; i < dataLen; i++)
	{
		app_uart_put(pData[i]);
	}
}
 

This is my serial initialization function, as well as the serial send function

Hi,

Your uart communication is sending one byte at the time. this means a lot of cpu processing at priority APP_IRQ_PRIORITY_LOWEST. What priority are you using for SPI? I am guessing it has the same priority so it is first come, first serve. You could try to increase the priority of spi, but that means UART throughput might be affected.

Maybe a better way is to use bigger buffers in both cases, so you have less cpu interaction all over. Maybe consider using libuarte instead of app_uart.
