Detailed Description

These functions let you use SPI0 (Serial Peripheral Interface) to interface with an external SPI device.

Function Documentation

Start SPI operations. Forces RPi SPI0 pins P1-19 (MOSI), P1-21 (MISO), P1-23 (CLK), P1-24 (CE0) and P1-26 (CE1) to alternate function ALT0, which enables those pins for SPI interface.

Returns: 1 if successful, 0 otherwise (perhaps because you are not running as root)

◆ bcm2835_spi_chipSelect()

void bcm2835_spi_chipSelect ( uint8_t cs )

Sets the chip select pin(s) When an bcm2835_spi_transfer() is made, the selected pin(s) will be asserted during the transfer.

[in] cs Specifies the CS pins(s) that are used to activate the desired slave. One of BCM2835_SPI_CS*, see bcm2835SPIChipSelect

◆ bcm2835_spi_end()

void bcm2835_spi_end ( void )

End SPI operations. SPI0 pins P1-19 (MOSI), P1-21 (MISO), P1-23 (CLK), P1-24 (CE0) and P1-26 (CE1) are returned to their default INPUT behaviour.

◆ bcm2835_spi_set_speed_hz()

void bcm2835_spi_set_speed_hz ( uint32_t speed_hz )
