3.2.5 SPI Interface

The SPI source streams the raw values received on the SPI interface. For further details on the physical part of the SPI interface, see the user guide of the debug tool to be used to sample the SPI data.
Important: The SPI hardware module uses an active-low Chip Select (CS) signal. Any data sent when the CS pin is high will be ignored.

The SPI interface is under the DGI section of the Data Sources (left) pane. When an SPI connection is selected, the SPI settings are displayed in the lower section of this pane.

Force CS Sync Check to enable. The SPI interface is only enabled after the Chip Select line has toggled twice.
Kit-side Timestamping Check to enable. Target timestamping
