1.26 SPI EEPROM Write Read

This example shows how to use the SPI peripheral to write and read from the SPI serial EEPROM memory.

Description

This example uses the SPI peripheral library to write an array of values to the SPI Serial EEPROM and verify the value written by reading the values back and comparing it to the value written. The example application performs the EEPROM writing only once after a power on reset.

Project NameDescription
pic32cz_ca70_curiosity_ultra.XPIC32CZ CA70 Curiosity Ultra Development Kit

Setting Up SAM E70 Xplained Ultra Evaluation Kit

  • Plug an EEPROM 4 Click board into the mikroBUS socket on the board
  • 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 project using its IDE
  2. LED indicates the success or failure:
    • The LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value
    • The LED is turned OFF when the value read from the EEPROM did not match with the written value
The following table provides the LED names:
