+HardwareSPI
+===========
+
+This class is used for creating objects to manage the Maple's built-in
+SPI ports. The Maple has two SPI ports. The relevant pins
+corresponding to each port's logic signals are documented in the
+following table (and on the Maple silkscreen):
+
+.. _lang-hardwarespi-pinout:
+
+.. list-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - Port number
+ - NSS
+ - MOSI
+ - MISO
+ - SCK
+
+ * - 1
+ - 10
+ - 11
+ - 12
+ - 13
+
+ * - 2
+ - 31
+ - 32
+ - 33
+ - 34
+
+If you use a SPI port, you cannot simultaneously use its associated
+pins for other purposes.

+---------------------
+
+HardwareSPI Class Reference
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can use the SPI interface by including a declaration ``HardwareSPI
+Spi(number);`` at the start of the sketch or program. The ``number``
+must be either 1 or 2 and specifies which port to use. Once this is
+done, you can call any of the methods documented here using
+``Spi.method(arguments)``; for example, ``Spi.send(0x13)`` would send
+the value ``0x13`` into the port buffer to be transmitted as soon as
+possible.
+
+.. cpp:class:: HardwareSPI
+
+ Class for interacting with SPI.
+
+.. cpp:function:: HardwareSPI::HardwareSPI(uint32 spi_num)
+
+ Construct an object for managing a SPI peripheral. ``spi_num``
+ must be 1 or 2; see the :ref:`table above
+ <lang-hardwarespi-pinout>` for pinout information.
+
+.. cpp:function:: void HardwareSPI::begin(SPIFrequency freq, uint32 endianness, uint32 mode)
+
+ Configure the baudrate of the given SPI port and set up the header
+ pins appropriately.
+
+ Parameters:
+
+ - ``freq``: one of the ``SPIFrequency`` values, given :ref:`below
+ <lang-hardwarespi-spifrequency>`.
+
+ - ``endianness``: either ``LSBFIRST`` (little-endian) or
+ ``MSBFIRST`` (big-endian).
+
+ - ``mode``: one of 0, 1, 2, or 3, and specifies which SPI mode is
+ used. The mode number determines a combination of polarity and
+ phase according to the following table:
+
+ .. list-table::
+ :header-rows: 1
+
+ * - Mode
+ - Polarity
+ - Phase
+
+ * - 0
+ - 0
+ - 0
+
+ * - 1
+ - 0
+ - 1
+
+ * - 2
+ - 1
+ - 0
+
+ * - 3
+ - 1
+ - 1
+
+ For more information on polarity and phase, see the
+ :ref:`external references, below <lang-hardwarespi-seealso>`.
+
+.. cpp:function:: void HardwareSPI::begin()
+
+ A convenience ``begin()``, equivalent to ``begin(SPI_1_125MHZ,
+ MSBFIRST, 0)``.
+
+.. cpp:function:: uint8 HardwareSpi::send(uint8 *data, uint32 length)
+
+ Writes ``data`` into the port buffer to be transmitted as soon as
+ possible, where ``length`` is the number of bytes to send from
+ ``data``. Returns the last byte shifted back from slave.
+
+.. cpp:function:: uint8 HardwareSpi::send(uint8 data)
+
+ Writes the single byte ``data`` into the port buffer to be
+ transmitted as soon as possible. Returns the data byte shifted
+ back from the slave.
+
+.. cpp:function:: uint8 HardwareSpi::recv()
+
+ Reads a byte from the peripheral. Returns the next byte in the
+ buffer.
+
+SPI Speeds
+^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. _lang-hardwarespi-spifrequency:
+
+The possible SPI speeds are configured using the ``SPIFrequency`` enum:
+
+.. doxygenenum:: SPIFrequency
+
+.. _lang-hardwarespi-seealso:
