Master SPI tx, when can I send the next byte?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: MSP430F5528

I'm writing an SPI driver for MSP430F5528 chip.

I'm using the driverlib from TI for working with the SPI.

 I need to send 3 bytes.

When I'm sending the 3 bytes one after the other, only the third byte is actually sent, like the first two were overriden.

I tried waiting until the SPI bus won't be busy. but than I get gaps between the bytes, the CLK stops between them and the perihpheral doesn't work.

I tried also turning the SPI's TX interrupt, and wait until the interrupt occurr, but aperently, the bytes are overriden like before.

Here's some code for reference:

  GPIO_setAsOutputPin( GPIO_PORT_P6, GPIO_PIN6 );

  GPIO_setOutputHighOnPin(GPIO_PORT_P6, GPIO_PIN6 ); // Set CS UP
 
  GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionInputPin(
        GPIO_PORT_P4,
        GPIO_PIN2
        );
 
  GPIO_setAsPeripheralModuleFunctionOutputPin(
      GPIO_PORT_P4,
      GPIO_PIN1 + GPIO_PIN3
      );
  retval = USCI_B_SPI_masterInit(USCI_B1_BASE,
                        USCI_B_SPI_CLOCKSOURCE_ACLK,
                        UCS_getACLK(__MSP430_BASEADDRESS_UCS__),
                        SPICLK,
                        USCI_B_SPI_MSB_FIRST,
                        USCI_B_SPI_PHASE_DATA_CAPTURED_ONFIRST_CHANGED_ON_NEXT, /* CPHA=0 */
                        USCI_B_SPI_CLOCKPOLARITY_INACTIVITY_LOW /* CPOL=0 */
                        );
 
   //Enable SPI module
  USCI_B_SPI_enable(USCI_B1_BASE);

/* Send few bytes with interrupt waiting.

    USCI_B_SPI_clearInterruptFlag ( USCI_B0_BASE, USCI_B_SPI_TRANSMIT_INTERRUPT );
    USCI_B_SPI_enableInterrupt ( USCI_B0_BASE, USCI_B_SPI_TRANSMIT_INTERRUPT );
    GPIO_setOutputLowOnPin(GPIO_PORT_P6, GPIO_PIN6 ); // Set CS DOWN

      USCI_B_SPI_transmitData(USCI_B1_BASE, 0x1);
      while ( !USCI_B_SPI_getInterruptStatus ( USCI_B0_BASE, USCI_B_SPI_TRANSMIT_INTERRUPT ) ) ;
      USCI_B_SPI_transmitData(USCI_B1_BASE, 0x2);
      while ( !USCI_B_SPI_getInterruptStatus ( USCI_B0_BASE, USCI_B_SPI_TRANSMIT_INTERRUPT ) ) ;
      USCI_B_SPI_transmitData(USCI_B1_BASE, 0x3);
      while ( !USCI_B_SPI_getInterruptStatus ( USCI_B0_BASE, USCI_B_SPI_TRANSMIT_INTERRUPT ) ) ;

    GPIO_setOutputHighOnPin(GPIO_PORT_P6, GPIO_PIN6 ); // Set CS UP
    USCI_B_SPI_disableInterrupt ( USCI_B0_BASE, USCI_B_SPI_TRANSMIT_INTERRUPT );
