LAUNCHXL-CC1310: SPI communication between CC1310 and LPS22HB sensor - No clock present

Greetings

I am attempting to write functions to condense SPI communication between a CC1310 and a LPS22HB pressure sensor. Instead of continuously initialising parameters etc., I would like to have a function for r/w functions using SPI.

For my SPI_Write function:

bool SPI_Write(SPI_Handle spi_handle, SPI_Params spi_params,
                                    SPI_Transaction spi_transaction, uint8_t size,
                                    uint8_t *txBuffer)
{

    SPI_Params_init(&spi_params);
    spi_params.transferMode = SPI_MODE_BLOCKING;
    spi_params.bitRate = 10000000;
    spi_params.dataSize = 8;


    spi_handle = SPI_open(0, &spi_params);

    if (!spi_handle) {
        // Error opening SPI
        return false;
    }

    spi_transaction.count = size;
    spi_transaction.txBuf = txBuffer;
    spi_transaction.rxBuf = NULL;

    if(!SPI_transfer(spi_handle, &spi_transaction))
    {
        return false;
    }

    SPI_close(spi_handle);

    return true;
}

For my SPI_Read function:

bool SPI_Read(SPI_Handle spi_handle, SPI_Params spi_params,
                                   SPI_Transaction spi_transaction, uint8_t size,
                                   uint8_t *rxBuffer)
{

    SPI_Params_init(&spi_params);
    spi_params.transferMode = SPI_MODE_BLOCKING;
    spi_params.bitRate = 10000000;
    spi_params.dataSize = 8;


    spi_handle = SPI_open(0, &spi_params);

    if (!spi_handle) {
        // Error opening SPI
        return false;
    }

    spi_transaction.count = size;
    spi_transaction.txBuf = NULL;
    spi_transaction.rxBuf = rxBuffer;

    if(!SPI_transfer(spi_handle, &spi_transaction))
    {
        false;
    }

    SPI_close(spi_handle);

    return true;
}

In turn, my driver for the LPS22HB consists of:

SPI_Transaction LPS22HB_SpiTransactionHandle;
SPI_Handle LPS22HB2_SpiHandle;
SPI_Params  LPS22HB_SpiParams;


#define TOGGLE_CS                               GPIO_write(Board_GPIO_TEST_DIO25, 0)
#define RELEASE_CS                              GPIO_write(Board_GPIO_TEST_DIO25, 1)

static void LPS22HB_Mem_Write(uint8_t reg, uint8_t *dataW, uint8_t size)
{

    uint8_t spiReg = reg;
    TOGGLE_CS; //sets the CS low

    SPI_Write(LPS22HB_SpiHandle, LPS22HB_SpiParams, LPS22HB_SpiTransactionHandle, 1, &spiReg);

    SPI_Write(LPS22HB_SpiHandle, LPS22HB_SpiParams, LPS22HB_SpiTransactionHandle, size, dataW);

    RELEASE_CS; //sets the CS high

}

static void LPS22HB_Mem_Read(uint8_t reg, uint8_t *dataR, uint8_t size)
{
    uint8_t spiBuf[1] = {0};
    spiBuf[0] = reg | 0x80;
    uint8_t i;

    TOGGLE_CS; //sets the CS low

    SPI_Write(LPS22HB_SpiHandle, LPS22HB_SpiParams, LPS22HB_SpiTransactionHandle, 1, spiBuf);

    SPI_Read(LPS22HB_SpiHandle, LPS22HB_SpiParams, LPS22HB_SpiTransactionHandle, size, dataR);

    RELEASE_CS; //sets the CS high
}

I am then trying to read the chip_id ("Who am I" of the sensor), which should be 0xB1, using the following code segment:

LPS22HB_Mem_Read(0x0f, ui8dummy, 1);

uint8_t ui8dummy[2]

if(strcmp(ui8dummy, "D") != 0)
{
return false;
}

When I read the chip-ID, I get zero, when I expect a value of 0xb1, given by the datasheet. I have debugged the SPI R/W code extensively. I have added breakpoints to the SPI_W/R functions and can guarantee that no errors are raised (the functions do not return false). I am using a software chip-select, given by the "toggle" and "release" macros. I can confirm my CS and clock works, as I've checked this on a scope. I am using the uartEcho example from the CC1310 SDK of version 20.02.07.

Are there any glaring errors in my driver for it to not work?
