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.

Library Documentation
---------------------

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:
