Communicate NUCLEO-G070RB USART with SPI as MSB

[yurim]

Thank you always for your hard work,

I needed 4 SPIs, so while exploring the board, I found a text that could make USART work like SPI, so I tried this with the NUCLEO-G070RB.
The example I referenced is "USART_SyncCommunication_FullDuplex_DMA_Init" on that board.
Referring to the setting of the board, a program was written to check whether it was the same as the buffer sent by the buffer that received a specific message from USART (master) to SPI (slave).

The current code works well.
However, the standard setting of SPI is MSB first, but the example seems to be possible only with LSB first.
I want USART and SPI to communicate by MSB.
Attached is the setup of USART and SPI.

The setting appears to be missing in CubeMX.

Try setting the MSBFIRST bit in USART_CR2 after it's initialized.

SET_BIT(USART_CR2, USART_CR2_MSBFIRST);

I only had a quick look, but I also didn't see it in the STM32G0 HAL documentation:

PS:

maybe this is it?

I've enabled MSB_FIRST BIT since the initialization of USART, but the output results remain unchanged. (It still seems to be operating as LSB first.)
Is there any way I can try it now?

Below are the buffers I sent to USART(UsartTx) and the buffers I received with SPI(SpiRx). In CUBE MX, I changed SPI to MSB First.

 

Thank you.

From the RM, about the MSBFIRST: "This bitfield can only be written when the USART is disabled (UE=0)."

So don't set this bit after init(), rather set the AdvFeatureInit struct members as usual.
