+ SPI
+=====
+
+The Serial Peripheral Interface Bus (SPI) is a serial data transfer
+protocol useful for interacting with a wide variety of hardware
+peripherals.
+
+The Maple has two SPI ports. The first has NSS on D10, MOSI on
+D11, MISO on D12, and SCK on D13. The second has NSS on D31, SCK on
+D32, MISO on D33, and MOSI on D34.
+
+The public libmaple API for managing the SPI ports is the
+:ref:`HardwareSpi <lang-hardwarespi>` class.
