ST7 SPI in slave mode

[p239955_stm1_stmicro]

The main use of my st7lite09 is for the SPI port to receive a byte from my main HC11.

I set slave mode:

cpol=0 ,cpha=1

SPICR = 0110 0100 or 01x0 01xx

SPICSR =xxxx 0000 for /ss external cont

the ST7 is slave2 , I want it to ignore all incoming data on MOSI while /SS is high

otherwise the byte in the buffer is an old byte , possibly from slave1

Is this how it works? Do the SPI buffers keep reading data in even when /SS goes high as a slave? Do the flags continue to be set and cleared also?

*note: there appears to be a datasheet error page 66/122 , bit5=OVR line 6 SPICSR should be SPICR?

When the ST7 is used as SPI slave and the SS pin is high during

reception then no data is read into the shift register.

In the datasheet on page 66/122, bit5=OVR line 6 it is SPICSR. There is no error in that line.

Hi Ansh,

I think Peter Mac was referring to the line where it says ''the SPIE bit in the SPICSR register.'' The SPIE bit is in the SPICR register, of course. Mmmm. Same error in MODF paragraph just below. Wheels are in motion at ST to get this corrected in future revs.

HTH.

Hi John

Thanks for pointing out the error.

This will be corrected in the new version of the datasheet.
