SPIM on nRF52832 and nRF52810

[Taylor]

Hi,

I have enabled SPIM on nRF52810 and worked normally.But when I enabled on nRF52832, it worked unusual.

I had defined CONFIG_NFCT_PINS_AS_GPIOS because used P0.9 and P10. Is there any other settings different between nRF52810 and nRF52832?

Hi,

Can you try to reduce the SPIM speed to see if that impact the issue? Do you have a logic analyzer trace to look at for comparison?

I need to correct my problem.

I have defined SPI GPIO:

SCK: P0.4

MISO: P0.5

MOSI: P0.6

SS: P0.7

And the SPI sensor need another IO write or read to read/write data.

RST:P0.8

BUSY: P0.9

DIO1: P0.10

Here is my GPIO configration:

#define SPI_SCK_PIN    4
#define SPI_MISO_PIN   5
#define SPI_MOSI_PIN   6
#define SPI_SS_PIN     7

#define RADIO_nRESET_PIN  8
#define RADIO_BUSY_PIN    9
#define RADIO_DIO1_PIN    10

nrf_gpio_cfg_input(RADIO_DIO1_PIN, NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLUP);
nrf_gpio_cfg_input(RADIO_BUSY_PIN, NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLUP);
nrf_gpio_cfg_output(RADIO_nRESET_PIN);
nrf_gpio_pin_set(RADIO_nRESET_PIN);

nrf_drv_spi_config_t spi_config = NRF_DRV_SPI_DEFAULT_CONFIG;
//  spi_config.ss_pin   = NRF_DRV_SPI_PIN_NOT_USED;
    spi_config.miso_pin = SPI_MISO_PIN;
    spi_config.mosi_pin = SPI_MOSI_PIN;
    spi_config.sck_pin  = SPI_SCK_PIN;
//	spi_config.frequency = SPI_FREQUENCY_FREQUENCY_K250;
//	spi_config.irq_priority = 4;
	nrf_gpio_cfg_output(SPI_SS_PIN);
    nrf_gpio_pin_set(SPI_SS_PIN);
    APP_ERROR_CHECK(nrf_drv_spi_init(&spi, &spi_config, spi_event_handler, NULL));

When the application worked on nRF52832 custom board, the SPI will read wrong data, I'll show you logic analyzer trace

latter.

Is the NFC pin occur uncertainly voltage even  I defined CONFIG_NFCT_PINS_AS_GPIOS?

I'll upload the software or hardware if you need.

I suggest to reduce the SPI frequency to check if that have any impact on the issue, also it might be useful to measure the pins with an analog input to check if they are logic high/low, or marginally out of spec.
