Part Number: MCU-PLUS-SDK-AM243X
When SPI3 is setup for RX_ONLY 3 pin mode and dataSize is 18, the CLK pin does not toggle during MCSPI_transfer. It does for a dataSize of 8.
I did not try other SPI modules or dataSizes. I reproduced the issue using the mcspi_loopback example (with loopback inputSelect disabled, 3 pin mode set, and RX_ONLY).
As a workaround I am using RX+TX mode. I'm posting the above because it may indicate a bug or documentation issue?
