...Wait it's still using the old terms. Should be renamed as "Controller" and "Peripheral", according to the guidelines:

"AOS" means "AliOS" ... So IoT SDK is actually built on AliOS! But no worries ... I can port the BL602 HAL to ... Without AliOS 😉

But if AliOS is really a complete Embedded Operating System ... Why does IoT SDK still need FreeRTOS? 🤔

Another trap! "vfs_spi_init_fullname" doesn't return the SPI Device ... It passes the SPI Device to AliOS! Let's create our own function to init the SPI Port without AliOS 🤔

"hal_spi_dma_trans" hangs while doing SPI DMA transfer because it's waiting for a FreeRTOS Event Group ... Which is supposed to be signalled by the DMA Interrupt Handler. Let's comment out the waiting and see what happens...

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Commented out the waiting for SPI DMA ... Yep no more hanging ... But no SPI Data received. Interrupt Counters show that DMA Interrupts weren't triggered.

The plot thickens ... Just like my chicken soup 🤔

SPI DMA uses a Linked List of DMA requests ... Let's dump the DMA Linked List and verify the SPI Transmit and Receive requests
