Piccolo SPI receive overrun in fifo mode: SPISTS.7 and/or RXFFOVF set?

Stephan

Short answer: The SPISTS.RECEIVER OVERRUN FLAG is not set if FIFO is used.

Longer Answer: The SPISTS should not be used when using FIFO mode. If the FIFO is enabled, the SPI itself will be reading the SPIRXBUF and copying it to the FIFO. If Using FIFO, use the RXFFOVF Flag to detect FIFO overflow.
