# 1.17 SPI Driver Synchronous - Multi Instance

This example application demonstrates the multi instance feature of the synchronous mode of the SPI driver by reading and writing to two EEPROMs connected to two different SPI bus.

## Description

This application uses the asynchronous mode of the SPI driver and demonstrates the multi instance feature by reading and writing to two EEPROMs connected to two different SPI bus.

The application communicates with two EEPROM 3 click boards that has AT24CM02 EEPROM on it.

### Setting Up SAMC21N Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit

- To run the demo, the following additional hardware are required:
  - Two EEPROM 4 click boards
  - Two mikroBUS Xplained Pro boards
- Install EEPROM 4 click boards on to the mikroBUS Xplained Pro boards
- Connect the mikroBUS Xplained Pro boards on EXT1 and EXT2 headers
- Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable

## Running the Application

1. Build and program the application using its IDE
2. The LED indicates success or failure
   - The LED turns ON when the data read from the EEPROMs matches with the data written to the EEPROMs

Refer to the following table for LED name:
