How to do 8bit SPI communication over TI Piccolo

Hi TI community,

I am also trying to use Piccolo spi for 8 bit communication. SPIB is acting as master. I have wired issue that MISO line is always high but data is pushed onto MISO line. My slave device is AD1938 (from Analog devices), I am looking into hardware side of it, but want to be sure that my software settings are good.

Can you review below code based on your experience??

================================

GPIO init - for clk, miso and mosi.

GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX2.bit.GPIO24 = 3; // Configure GPIO24 as SPISIMOB
GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX1.bit.GPIO13 = 3; // Configure GPIO13 as SPISOMIB
GpioCtrlRegs.GPAMUX1.bit.GPIO14 = 3; // Configure GPIO14 as SPICLKB

GpioCtrlRegs.GPAPUD.bit.GPIO24 = 0; // Enable pull-up on GPIO24 (SPISIMOB)
GpioCtrlRegs.GPAPUD.bit.GPIO13 = 0; // Enable pull-up on GPIO13 (SPISOMIB)
GpioCtrlRegs.GPAPUD.bit.GPIO14 = 0; // Enable pull-up on GPIO14 (SPICLKB)

GpioCtrlRegs.GPAQSEL2.bit.GPIO24 = 3; // Asynch input GPIO24 (SPISIMOB)
GpioCtrlRegs.GPAQSEL1.bit.GPIO13 = 3; // Asynch input GPIO13 (SPISOMIB)
GpioCtrlRegs.GPAQSEL1.bit.GPIO14 = 3; // Asynch input GPIO14 (SPICLKB)

===============================

SPI initialization

void SPI_Init(void)
{

EALLOW;

SpibRegs.SPICCR.all =0x000F; // Reset on, rising edge, 16-bit char bits
SpibRegs.SPICTL.all =0x000F; // Enable master mode, normal phase,
// enable talk, and SPI int disabled.
SpibRegs.SPIBRR =0x007F;
SpibRegs.SPICCR.all =0x0007; // Relinquish SPI from Reset
SpibRegs.SPIPRI.bit.FREE = 1; // Set so breakpoints don't disturb xmission
SpibRegs.SPICCR.bit.SPISWRESET = 1;

EDIS;
}

================

SPI read and SPI write API

Uint16 SPI0_Read()
{

SpibRegs.SPITXBUF=(0x00<<8);

while(SpibRegs.SPISTS.bit.INT_FLAG !=1) { }
rdata = (Uint16)(SpibRegs.SPIRXBUF);
rdata = (rdata>>8);
return (rdata);

}

Uint16 SPI0_Write(Uint16 data)
{
Uint16 rdata;
SpibRegs.SPITXBUF=(data<<8);

while(SpibRegs.SPISTS.bit.INT_FLAG !=1) { }
rdata = SpibRegs.SPIRXBUF;

}

Thanks for your help.

Below is pic of output i am getting. (1 is clock, 2. is CS, 3 is MISO, and 4 is MOSI)

full read-write sequence...

write sequence!

read back sequence!!!
