)    freertos_spi_write_packet_async((p_spi), (data), (len), (block_time_ticks), (NULL))

Initiate a multi-byte write operation on an SPI peripheral.

freertos_spi_write_packet() is an ASF specific FreeRTOS driver function. It configures the SPI peripheral DMA controller (PDC) to transmit data on the SPI port, then waits until the transmission is complete. Other RTOS tasks execute while the transmission is in progress.

freertos_spi_write_packet_async() is a version that does not wait for the transmission to complete before returning.

The FreeRTOS ASF SPI driver is initialized using a call to freertos_spi_master_init(). The freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags parameter passed into the initialization function defines the driver behavior. freertos_spi_write_packet() can only be used if the freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags parameter passed to the initialization function had the WAIT_TX_COMPLETE bit set.

Readers are recommended to also reference the application note and examples that accompany the FreeRTOS ASF drivers.

The FreeRTOS ASF driver both installs and handles the SPI PDC interrupts. Users do not need to concern themselves with interrupt handling, and must not install their own interrupt handler.

Parameters
p_spiThe handle to the SPI port returned by the freertos_spi_master_init() call used to initialise the port.
dataA pointer to the data to be transmitted.
lenThe number of bytes to transmit.
block_time_ticksThe FreeRTOS ASF SPI driver is initialized using a call to freertos_spi_master_init(). The freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags parameter passed to the initialization function defines the driver behavior. If freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags had the USE_TX_ACCESS_SEM bit set, then the driver will only write to the SPI peripheral if it has first gained exclusive access to it. block_time_ticks specifies the maximum amount of time the driver will wait to get exclusive access before aborting the write operation. Other tasks will execute during any waiting time. block_time_ticks is specified in RTOS tick periods. To specify a block time in milliseconds, divide the milliseconds value by portTICK_RATE_MS, and pass the result in block_time_ticks. portTICK_RATE_MS is defined by FreeRTOS.
Returns
ERR_INVALID_ARG is returned if an input parameter is invalid. ERR_TIMEOUT is returned if block_time_ticks passed before exclusive access to the SPI peripheral could be obtained. STATUS_OK is returned if the PDC was successfully configured to perform the SPI write operation.

Type returned from a call to freertos_spi_master_init(), and then used to reference an SPI port in calls to FreeRTOS peripheral control functions.

)

Initiate a completely asynchronous multi-byte full duplex operation on an SPI peripheral.

freertos_spi_full_duplex_packet_async() is an ASF specific FreeRTOS driver function. It configures the SPI peripheral DMA controller (PDC) to read/write data from the SPI port, then returns. freertos_spi_full_duplex_packet_async() does not wait for the reception and transmission to complete before returning.

The FreeRTOS ASF SPI driver is initialized using a call to freertos_spi_master_init(). The freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags parameter passed into the initialization function defines the driver behavior. freertos_spi_full_duplex_packet_async() can only be used if the freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags parameter passed to the initialization function had the WAIT_RX_COMPLETE and WAIT_TX_COMPLETE bit clear.

freertos_spi_full_duplex_packet_async() is an advanced function and readers are recommended to also reference the application note and examples that accompany the FreeRTOS ASF drivers.

The FreeRTOS ASF driver both installs and handles the SPI PDC interrupts. Users do not need to concern themselves with interrupt handling, and must not install their own interrupt handler.

Parameters
p_spiThe handle to the SPI port returned by the freertos_spi_master_init() call used to initialise the port.
rx_dataA pointer to the buffer into which received data is to be written.
tx_dataA pointer to the data to be transmitted.
lenThe number of bytes to receive/transmit.
block_time_ticksThe FreeRTOS ASF SPI driver is initialized using a call to freertos_spi_master_init(). The freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags parameter passed to the initialization function defines the driver behavior. If freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags had the USE_RX_ACCESS_MUTEX bit set, then the driver will only read from the SPI peripheral if it has first gained exclusive access to it. block_time_ticks specifies the maximum amount of time the driver will wait to get exclusive access before aborting the read operation. Other tasks will execute during any waiting time. block_time_ticks is specified in RTOS tick periods. To specify a block time in milliseconds, divide the milliseconds value by portTICK_RATE_MS, and pass the result in block_time_ticks. portTICK_RATE_MS is defined by FreeRTOS.
notification_semaphoreThe RTOS task that calls the receive function exits the receive function as soon as the reception starts. The data being received by the PDC cannot normally be processed until after the reception has completed. The PDC interrupt (handled internally by the FreeRTOS ASF driver) 'gives' the semaphore when the PDC transfer completes. The notification_semaphore therefore provides a mechanism for the calling task to know when the PDC has read the requested number of bytes. The calling task can call standard FreeRTOS functions to block on the semaphore until the PDC interrupt occurs. Other RTOS tasks will execute while the the calling task is in the Blocked state. The semaphore must be created using the FreeRTOS vSemaphoreCreateBinary() API function before it is used as a parameter.
Returns
ERR_INVALID_ARG is returned if an input parameter is invalid. ERR_TIMEOUT is returned if block_time_ticks passed before exclusive access to the SPI peripheral could be obtained. STATUS_OK is returned if the PDC was successfully configured to perform the SPI read operation.

freertos_spi_if freertos_spi_master_init ( Spi *  p_spi,
const freertos_peripheral_options_t *const  freertos_driver_parameters 
)

Initializes the FreeRTOS ASF SPI master driver for the specified SPI port.

freertos_spi_master_init() is an ASF specific FreeRTOS driver function. It must be called before any other ASF specific FreeRTOS driver functions attempt to access the same SPI port.

If freertos_driver_parameters->operation_mode equals SPI_MASTER then freertos_spi_master_init() will configure the SPI port for master mode operation and enable the peripheral. If freertos_driver_parameters->operation_mode equals any other value then freertos_spi_master_init() will not take any action.

Other ASF SPI functions, such as those to set the SPI clock rate and other bus parameters, can be called after freertos_spi_master_init() has completed successfully.

The FreeRTOS ASF driver both installs and handles the SPI PDC interrupts. Users do not need to concern themselves with interrupt handling, and must not install their own interrupt handler.

This driver is provided with an application note, and an example project that demonstrates the use of this function.

Parameters
p_spiThe SPI peripheral being initialized.
freertos_driver_parametersDefines the driver behavior. See the freertos_peripheral_options_t documentation, and the application note that accompanies the ASF specific FreeRTOS functions.
Returns
If the initialization completes successfully then a handle that can be used with FreeRTOS SPI read and write functions is returned. If the initialisation fails then NULL is returned.

Initiate a completely asynchronous multi-byte write operation on an SPI peripheral.

freertos_spi_write_packet_async() is an ASF specific FreeRTOS driver function. It configures the SPI peripheral DMA controller (PDC) to transmit data on the SPI port, then returns. freertos_spi_write_packet_async() does not wait for the transmission to complete before returning.

Parameters
p_spiThe handle to the SPI peripheral returned by the freertos_spi_master_init() call used to initialise the peripheral.
dataA pointer to the data to be transmitted.
lenThe number of bytes to transmit.
block_time_ticksThe FreeRTOS ASF SPI driver is initialized using a call to freertos_spi_master_init(). The freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags parameter passed to the initialization function defines the driver behavior. If freertos_driver_parameters.options_flags had the USE_TX_ACCESS_SEM bit set, then the driver will only write to the SPI peripheral if it has first gained exclusive access to it. block_time_ticks specifies the maximum amount of time the driver will wait to get exclusive access before aborting the write operation.

notification_semaphoreThe RTOS task that calls the transmit function exits the transmit function as soon as the transmission starts. The data being transmitted by the PDC must not be modified until after the transmission has completed. The PDC interrupt (handled internally by the FreeRTOS ASF driver) 'gives' the semaphore when the PDC transfer completes. The notification_semaphore therefore provides a mechanism for the calling task to know when the PDC has finished accessing the data. The calling task can call standard FreeRTOS functions to block on the semaphore until the PDC interrupt occurs. Other RTOS tasks will execute while the the calling task is in the Blocked state. The semaphore must be created using the FreeRTOS vSemaphoreCreateBinary() API function before it is used as a parameter.
Returns
ERR_INVALID_ARG is returned if an input parameter is invalid. ERR_TIMEOUT is returned if block_time_ticks passed before exclusive access to the SPI peripheral could be obtained. STATUS_OK is returned if the PDC was successfully configured to perform the SPI write operation.
