TMS570LC4357: SPI Compatibility Mode DMA with CS Hold

Part Number: TMS570LC4357


Hi,

My problem is similar to the problem reported on https://e2e.ti.com/support/microcontrollers/hercules/f/312/t/662232?RM57L843-DMA-and-SPI-non-MIBSPI-Not-continuous-Chip-Select-signal

However compared to above, I  have managed to generate CS hold by the following procedure:

1) Disable SPI

2) Set MSB with CS hold configuration in SPI->Dat1

3) Enable SPI

4) Enable DMA

5) HW Trigger SPI DMA Transmit and Receive

6) Detect DMA BTC Interrupt and do the following within DMA BTC ISR 

       - Disable Trigger SPI

       - Disable DMA

       - Disable SPI

       - Set CS Hold configuration to zero

I am repeating this procedure periodically. I noticed that this seems to work fine for a short period of time. After a few minutes, DMA interrupt does not occur. My question is,

1) Is this normal? If not, then what would be a good solution in this particular case?

2) Could you suggest SPI compatibility mode DMA settings, which could automatically generate CS hold during each SPI DMA TX/RX Cycle

Thanks in advance. Look forward to receiving your reply.

Kind regards,

Farrukh
