file.  Although I searched within the directory I was not able to find the full function description for the following functions.

1. TRXEM_SPI_WAIT_DONE() 

2. TRXEM_SPI_RX()

3. TRXEM_SPI_WAIT_DONE()

4. TRXEM_SPI_WAIT_TX_DONE()

5. TRXEM_SPI_RX()

6. TRXEM_SPI_WAIT_MISO_LOW(x)

.After a bit more searching I figured that these functions exist in the header file itself.  More specifically inhal_spi_rf_trxeb.h file.

The said functions are described as macros. I do not understand how these work. I am porting this project to a TIVA C Series device.

/******************************************************************************

I do not understand how the above numbered functions are defined inside the header file with the help of st().

What does the st ( ) function do?

where is it defined? 

Any help how I should port this part to the TIVA MCU would be much appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

  • st() is a function defined on the last line in hal_spi_rf_trxeb.h

    #define st(x) do { x } while (__LINE__ == -1)
  • could you please elaborate a bit more what is happening during compilation?
  • I understand the expansion looks similar as folows,

    #define TRXEM_SPI_BEGIN() do {

    ( TRXEM_PORT_OUT &= ~TRXEM_SPI_SC_N_PIN; NOP(); )

    } while (__LINE__ == -1)

    What I don't understand is the terminating condition. What is the meaning of __LINE__ == -1 ? Could you please elaborate as to why  -1 is used here?

    __LINE__  means the execution line so would __LINE__ ever be equal to  -1.  Therefore the content of inside the while loop will only be executed only once.If this is the case do we need to use a do while condition here?

    I'm confused at this point
