1.15 SPI Driver Asynchronous - Multi Client
This example demonstrates how to use single instance of the SPI driver in asynchronous mode to communicate with multiple EEPROMs.
Description
This example write and read data to and from two separate EEPROM connected over the same SPI bus by using the multi client feature of the driver. The example also demonstrates how to setup two different EEPROM transfers at different baud rates.

Setting Up SAMA5D29 Curiosity Development Board
- Two EEPROM 4 Click boards
- Install EEPROM 4 Click boards on to the "MikroBus1 (J19)" and "MikroBus2 (J22)" connectors
- Connect the USB_A port on board to the computer using a USB-C type cable.
Running the Application
- Build and program the application using its IDE
- The LED turns ON when the data read from the EEPROMs matches with the data written to the EEPROMs.
