1.7 SPI Driver Asynchronous - Multi Instance

This example demonstrates how to use multiple instances of the SPI driver in Asynchronous mode to communicate with multiple EEPROMs.

Description

This example writes and reads data to and from two separate EEPROM connected over two different SPI bus by using multi-instance feature of the driver. The example also demonstrates how to setup two different EEPROM transfers at different baud rates.

Setting Up PIC32MM USB Curiosity Development Board

To run the demo, the following additional hardware is required:
- Two EEPROM 4 Click boards
Connect micro USB cable to the USB1 connector on the board to the computer
Install two EEPROM 4 Click boards onto the two mikroBUS sockets (J4 and J12) of PIC32MM USB Curiosity Development Board
Note: Ensure that the series resistors on the mikroBUS headers are of value 0Ω.

Running the Application

Build and program the application using its IDE.
The LED is turned ON when the data read from the EEPROMs matches with the data written to the EEPROMs.

Refer to the following table for LED name:
