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

SPI Registers are remarkably similar to I2C Registers ... So I can reuse my I2C code for SPI 🤔

SPI DMA ... Lets you specify a Linked List of Transmit / Receive operations ... That will be executed by the DMA Controller

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

Follow

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 🤔

SPI Data Transfer needs a "void *" parameter ... Which is cast to an "spi_ioc_transfer_t" ... That belongs to AliOS 😭

Saturday night with my lovelies ... @PINE64 and BME280 ... Now connecting SPI

"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

github.com/lupyuen/bl_iot_sdk/

Aha SPI DMA is now Transmitting AND Receiving! The SPI Mode was incorrect ... Got confused between the AliOS docs and the BL602 implementation 🙁

Received SPI Data is garbage though 🤔
