TMS570LS3137: MibSPI half duplex in parallel mode

Part Number: TMS570LS3137

Hello TI

What is the effect/behavior of the half duplex setting (register SPIFMTx, bit HDUPLEX_ENAx=1) in the 4-line parallel mode (SPIPMCTRL.PMODEx=2)? The SPI will be MibSPI5 in Master mode.

The manual says that the HDUPLEX_ENAx “controls the I/O function of SOMI/SIMO lines…”. In the 4-bit parallel mode, there are 4 SIMO lines. Does the half duplex setting switch all of them? If not, which lines are used for data input (and output)?

The background for this question is that we need to implement Quad SPI. I understood from other answers on this forum that it is not natively supported on this CPU, and we are looking for solutions that do not involve the other 4 SOMI lines, as the Quad SPI is half-duplex anyway.

Thank you,

Josef
