Hi,
I would like to use the CC3200 in an upcoming project which would use both the 8 bit parallel camera interface and the (general) SPI peripheral available on the CC3200. Looking at the pin mappings I see this may be non-trivial.
I believe this is possible with a custom board, but ideally I would like to incorporate the Launchpad into the project to avoid designing a custom PCB with very high frequency considerations.
The problem is there are only 2 pin mappings for the SPI interface (5,6,7,8 and 45,50,52,53), the first group is used by the camera interface and the second includes pins 45 & 52 which are used for other functions on the Launchpad. Other peripherals I would need (I2C, UART etc) are conveniently available on other pins however.
So is it possible to use the camera interface and SPI at the same time on the launchpad? (Another post mentioned dynamic pin mapping - I would only need to read from one interface at a time)
Or would I have to either implement software SPI on some unused GPIOs or design a custom board to expose all the required pins? (Would I have to use an external 32kHz clock or can I exclude this from the design and use only the 40MHz crystal?)
I hope there is a simple solution as I am excited about the CC3200's ability to be an all-in-one chip for my project.
