RTOS/AM4379: McSPI clock phase clarification

Part Number: AM4379


Tool/software: TI-RTOS

Hi,

My question might be awkward.

Still I would like to understand the difference in phase here for the SPI Clock:

The generic nomenclature that I have seen for the SPI phase is either the data latching on the rising/falling edge of the SPI clock.

In the TI AM437x, from the TRM, when I see the configuration register, I see the below terminology:

SPICLK phase
0h (R/W) = Data are latched on odd numbered edges of SPICLK.
1h (R/W) = Data are latched on even numbered edges of SPICLK.

My gut feeling is- odd edges are falling edges while the even edges are raising edges.

I would like to understand this and get a confirmation on this from the experts.

Thanks in advance.
