# SPI

The serial peripheral interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial data link that operates in
full duplex mode. SPI is also referred as a 4-wire serial bus.
Figure : SPI data flow

The SPI core supports the bidirectional SPI standard, point-to-point, and
controller-target protocol. The SPI core uses four chip-select lines (SPI\_CS#\_N) to
select target devices to communicate with. The following two data lines support the
bidirectional data transfer.
- SPI\_DATA\_MO\_SI: Controller data output, target data input.
- SPI\_DATA\_MI\_SO: Controller data input, target data output.
The clock line uses both core and target devices to clock data in and out. The core can
be used in controller mode or target mode. The core supports a maximum of 50 MHz
frequency.
Transmission begins with assertion of the chip-select (CS\_N) line. The amount of data
transferred during a single chip-select assertion is governed by the parameter
N. Chip selection can be programmed to deassert for a specified
duration between successive transmissions of size N. A transaction is composed of many
transfers of size N.
| Data signals | MOSI: Master data output, target data input. |
| --- | --- |
| Data signals | MISO: Master data input, target data output. |
| Control signals | SCLK: A clock generated by the controller and input to all
targets. |
| Control signals | CS: Chip-select, a target is selected when the controller asserts its
CS\_N signal. |
| | |
The SPI protocol implementation does not support data framing, flow control, and error
checking. Hence, there is no acknowledgment mechanism to confirm receipt of data sent or
received. The SPI controller does not have much information on whether a target even
exists or is connected. Devices communicate using a controller/target relationship, the
controller initiates the data frame. When the controller generates a clock and selects a
target device through CS assert, data is transferred in either or both directions
simultaneously. It supports a maximum data rate of 26 Mbps. Transfer rates can be up to
50 MHz, 4 bits to 32 bits per word of transfer.
## SPI features
Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html)
This section provides information about the SPI serial engine transfer modes and various
use cases supporting the different transfer modes. This section also describes the FIFO
and DMA enabled in various subsystem SPI drivers.
### Linux
SPI supports up to a maximum speed configuration of 50 MHz. QUP v3 SPI supports three
modes – FIFO, DMA, and GSI.
### Boot
The SPI core supports the following:
- FIFO mode only.
- Transfer rates up to 50 MHz. The host sets the SPI clock frequency nearest
to the requested frequency.
- 4 bits to 32 bits per word of transfer.
- Maximum of four chip selects (CS) per bus.
- GSI mode is not supported on boot.
- Driver executes in polling mode.
### aDSP
- The SPI core allows full and half-duplex, synchronous, serial communication
between a controller and target. There is no explicit communication framing,
error checking, or defined data word length. Hence, the communication is
strictly at the raw bit level.
- The SPI core supports the following:
- Transfer rates up to 50 MHz. The host sets the SPI clock frequency
nearest to the requested frequency.
- 4 bits to 32 bits per word of transfer.
- Maximum of four chip selects (CS) per bus.

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html)
This section provides information about the SPI software driver kernel configuration and
device tree node changes.
### Linux
The following driver kernel configurations are required to support the SPI
interface.
- Driver source file at [https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/spi/spi-geni-qcom.c](https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/spi/spi-geni-qcom.c)
- Kernel `defconfig` file at <workspace\_path\_of\_LINUX\_kernel\_image>\sources\kernel
\kernel\_platform\kernel\arch\arm64/configs/qcom\_defconfig
The following kernel configurations are to be enabled.
- `CONFIG_QCOM_GENI_SE=y`
- `CONFIG_SPI_QCOM_GENI=m`
- `CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV=m` to configure user space
applications
- `CONFIG_QCOM_GPI_DMA=m` to enable GSI support
To enable the SPI node for the loopback validation, apply the following patch to the /arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/<chipset>.dtsi
file.

Note: The kernel configuration and device tree changes must be
compiled. The compiled images are loaded to the target to verify the interface. For
information on interface verification, see [SPI verification](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html#spi_verification).
## SPI verification
Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html)
This section describes the validation procedure and test results for the SPI drivers.
### Linux
To cross-compile the SPI tools, do the following.
1. Access the SPI tool from yocto/build-qcom-wayland/tmp-glibc/work-shared/<chipset>/kernel-source/tools/spi.
For more details on the SPI tool, see [https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/tools/spi](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/tools/spi).
2. Install cross
compiler.
sudo apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnuCopy to clipboard
3. Set up the environment for cross-compilation by running the following
command.
export ARCH=arm64export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-Copy to clipboard
4. Compile the tool by running the following
command.
makeCopy to clipboard
Verify the driver by checking for `dev` node
(`/dev/spidev1.0`) in the SSH shell.
1. To verify the SPI driver, do the following:
1. Enter the SSH shell. For more information on how to operate SSH,
see [https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-254/how_to.html#how-to-ssh-](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-254/how_to.html#how-to-ssh-).
2. Mount the file
system.
mount -o remount,rw /Copy to clipboard
3. Transfer files using SCP or similar tools. For more information on SSH
operations, see [https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-254/how_to.html#how-to-ssh-](https://docs.qualcomm.com/bundle/publicresource/topics/80-70014-254/how_to.html#how-to-ssh-).
For example, `scp
spidev_test root@10.92.175.138:/bin`
4. Assign permission to
execute.
chmod 777 spidev_testCopy to clipboard
2. Verify an SPI device by running the following
command.
./spidev_test -D /dev/
example: ./spidev_test -D /dev/spidev1.0
./spidev_test -D /dev/spidev3.0

## SPI debugging
Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-70014-8/topic/spi.html)
The section describes the default logging method of the SPI software driver to enable
logging the SPI transfer failures.
### Linux
The SPI driver logs are enabled through a dynamic debugging method. Enable
`CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG` in <workspace\_path\_of\_LINUX\_kernel\_image>\sources\kernel
\kernel\_platform\kernel\arch\arm64/configs/qcom\_defconfig to support
the dynamic debugging of the kernel drivers.
To enable and view the SPI driver logs in the kernel logs (`dmesg`),
run the following
command.
mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
echo -n "file spi-geni-qcom.c +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo -n "file qcom-geni-se.c +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo -n "file spidev.c +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/control
echo -n "file gpi.c +p" > /sys/kernel/debug/dynamic_debug/controlCopy to clipboard
