using the SPI peripheral

[YahooArchive]

I want to use the hardware serial bus so I don't run the risk of geting
"locked-up" with the software bus.
The main killer problem is the total lack of a clock line?
I'm a fairly newbe and feel lost by this . . . Help?

You can enable the SPI hardware by direct reads to those registers, details in
the NXP user manual.

The basic steps are

turn on the device in SCB_PCONP
enable the SPI connection to the pins in a PINSEL register

then start programing the SPI
typically you enable it, chose the mode, and clock rate (the clock is
automatically generated for you based on the 15 MHz PCLK)
write to the SPI FIFO
either poll for done or setup an interrupt

Anyone have a code example out there?

I also cant seam to get hardware spi to work. this is the code im trying

SCB_PCONP |= (1<<8); // enable spi hardware
PCB_PINSEL0 |= 0x5500; // configure SPI0 pins
SPI_SPCCR = 0x8; // SCK = 1 MHz, counter > 8 and even
SPI_SPCR = 0x20; // Master, no interrupt enable


WAIT(100);

while(1)
{
SPI_SPSR = 0;
// send data
SPI_SPDR = 0x9F;
// wait for transfer to be completed
while( 0==(SPI_SPSR & 0x80) )
{
//WAIT(100);
//printf("%x \r",SPI_SPSR);
}

break;
}

i cant see what im missing? id expect it to send the byte and just drop out the
while loop. but it never drops out

solved my problem, the SSEL pin has to be held high!

Iv adapted a Dataflash AT45DBXX1D library that was written for the Arduino to
work for the arm lpc21xx using hardware SPI

It seams to work great , email me if you want a copy, this Atmel Dataflash is
a great little chip
