1.4 SPI Driver Asynchronous - Self Loopback Multi Client
This example demonstrates the multi client feature of the SPI driver by performing self-loop back with two clients connected on the same SPI bus.
Description
- This example demonstrates the multi client feature of the SPI driver by reading and writing data with two clients that are connected on the same SPI bus.
- It uses the request (write and read request) queuing feature of the asynchronous driver and does not waste CPU bandwidth in waiting for previous request completion.
- The example also demonstrates how to setup two different client transfers at different baud rates.
- This example performs self loop back only once after a power on reset.
- Success is indicated when a successful self loop back is reported by both the clients.
- After the loop back test is complete, the application remains in the idle state.

Setting Up SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro Evaluation Kit
- Use jumper wire to Connect “Pin 16 of EXT1 header” to “Pin 17 of EXT1
header”
- SPI0 MOSI signal is mapped to PA04 that is routed to “Pin 16 of EXT1 header”
- SPI0 MISO signal is mapped to PA11 that is routed to “Pin 17 of EXT1 header”
- Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB
cableNote: ATSAMHA1G16A device in SAM HA1G16A Xplained Pro board is not recommended for new design, hence replace the device with ATSAMHA1G16AB device. Connect the supported external.
