Part Number: TMS570LC4357
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: HALCOGEN
Team,
The following comes from the TMS570LC43x_TechnicalRefManual manual with regard to SPI Compatibility Mode and we need clarification please:
“MibSPI is an Extension of SPI. MibSPI works in 2 modes.
• Compatibility Mode
• Multi-buffer Mode
The Compatibility mode of MibSPI makes it behave exactly like that of SPI and ensures full compatibility
with the same. Everything described about compatibility mode of MibSPI , in this document, is directly
applicable to SPI.”
According to the information displayed by HALCoGen (Version 04.07.01), it appears that MIBSpi2 and MIBSpi4 may not support SPI Compatibility Mode. MIBSpi1 , MIBSpi3 and MIBSpi5 do (see screen shots below, especially the “Note” area for rationale). Is this just a bug with the HALCoGen tool or do MIBSpi2 and MIBSpi4 really not support true SPI Compatibility Mode? This is important because for the current project phase of the Interim Project our customer wants to mimic the operation of the current design as closely as possible, e.g. signaling, timing, etc. From what I can discern, even though we could make it work using the MIBSpi, there could be differences, although perhaps nuanced, that would detract from this goal (i.e. mimicking our current design). A quick response would be appreciated so we can move forward.
TY,
CY
