1.6 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 PIC32CM MC00 Curiosity Pro Evaluation Kit
- To run the demo, the following additional hardware are required:
- Two EEPROM 4 Click boards
- Two mikroBUS Xplained Pro boards
- Install EEPROM 4 Click boards on to the mikroBUS Xplained Pro boards
- Connect mikroBUS Xplained Pro boards on to the “EXT1” and “EXT2” headers
- Connect the Debug USB port on the board to the computer using a micro USB cable
Running the Application
- Build and program the application using its IDE
- LED indicates success or failure:
- The LED is turned ON when the value read from the EEPROM matched with the written value
