The SPICTRL provides a link between the AMBA APB bus and the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus. Through registers mapped into APB address space the core can be configured to work either as a master or a slave.
Architecture
The SPI bus parameters are highly configurable via registers, the core has configurable ord length, bit ordering and clock gap insertion. All SPI modes are supported and also a 3-wire mode where the core uses one bidirectional data line. In slave mode the core synchronizes the incoming clock and can operate in systems where other SPI devices are driven by asynchronous clocks. The core can also be configured to automatically perform periodic transfers of a specified length.
