Enumeration Type Documentation

SPIM master driver event types, passed to the handler routine provided during initialization.

Enumerator
NRFX_SPIM_EVENT_DONE

Transfer done.

Function Documentation

void nrfx_spim_abort ( nrfx_spim_t const * p_instance )

Function for aborting ongoing transfer.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
uint32_t nrfx_spim_end_event_get ( nrfx_spim_t const * p_instance )

Function for returning the address of a END SPIM event.

The END event can be used to detect the end of a transfer if the NRFX_SPIM_FLAG_NO_XFER_EVT_HANDLER option is used.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Returns
END event address.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_spim_init ( nrfx_spim_t const *const p_instance ,
nrfx_spim_config_t const * p_config ,
nrfx_spim_evt_handler_t handler ,
void * p_context
)

Function for initializing the SPIM driver instance.

This function configures and enables the specified peripheral.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
[in] p_config Pointer to the structure with the initial configuration.
[in] handler Event handler provided by the user. If NULL, transfers will be performed in blocking mode.
[in] p_context Context passed to event handler.
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS Initialization was successful.
NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_STATE The driver was already initialized.
NRFX_ERROR_BUSY Some other peripheral with the same instance ID is already in use. This is possible only if Peripheral Resource Sharing (PRS) module is enabled.
NRFX_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED Requested configuration is not supported by the SPIM instance.
uint32_t nrfx_spim_start_task_get ( nrfx_spim_t const * p_instance )

Function for returning the address of a SPIM start task.

This function is to be used if nrfx_spim_xfer was called with the flag NRFX_SPIM_FLAG_HOLD_XFER . In that case, the transfer is not started by the driver, but it must be started externally by PPI.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
Returns
Start task address.
void nrfx_spim_uninit ( nrfx_spim_t const *const p_instance )

Function for uninitializing the SPIM driver instance.

Parameters
[in] p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_spim_xfer ( nrfx_spim_t const *const p_instance ,
nrfx_spim_xfer_desc_t const * p_xfer_desc ,
uint32_t flags
)

Function for starting the SPIM data transfer.

Additional options are provided using the flags parameter:

Note
Peripherals using EasyDMA (including SPIM) require the transfer buffers to be placed in the Data RAM region. If this condition is not met, this function will fail with the error code NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR.
Parameters
p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
p_xfer_desc Pointer to the transfer descriptor.
flags Transfer options (0 for default settings).
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS The procedure is successful.
NRFX_ERROR_BUSY The driver is not ready for a new transfer.
NRFX_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED The provided parameters are not supported.
NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR The provided buffers are not placed in the Data RAM region.
nrfx_err_t nrfx_spim_xfer_dcx ( nrfx_spim_t const *const p_instance ,
nrfx_spim_xfer_desc_t const * p_xfer_desc ,
uint32_t flags ,
uint8_t cmd_length
)

Function for starting the SPIM data transfer with DCX control.

See nrfx_spim_xfer for description of additional options of transfer provided by the flags parameter.

Note
Peripherals that use EasyDMA (including SPIM) require the transfer buffers to be placed in the Data RAM region. If this condition is not met, this function will fail with the error code NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR.
Parameters
p_instance Pointer to the driver instance structure.
p_xfer_desc Pointer to the transfer descriptor.
flags Transfer options (0 for default settings).
cmd_length Length of the command bytes preceding the data bytes. The DCX line will be low during transmission of command bytes and high during transmission of data bytes. Maximum value available for dividing the transmitted bytes into command bytes and data bytes is NRF_SPIM_DCX_CNT_ALL_CMD - 1. The NRF_SPIM_DCX_CNT_ALL_CMD value passed as the cmd_length parameter causes all transmitted bytes to be marked as command bytes.
Return values
NRFX_SUCCESS The procedure is successful.
NRFX_ERROR_BUSY The driver is not ready for a new transfer.
NRFX_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED The provided parameters are not supported.
NRFX_ERROR_INVALID_ADDR The provided buffers are not placed in the Data RAM region.
