SPI Communications on the NanoBoard 3000

Parent article: NanoBoard 3000

After JTAG, the second most important communications system on the NanoBoard 3000 involves communications with devices over a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) bus.

In part, SPI communications on the NanoBoard 3000 are similar to that found on the NanoBoard NB2 – a number of SPI slave resources accessible by multiple masters over a common, multiplexed SPI bus. However, the NanoBoard 3000 also provides several dedicated, direct SPI links to resources that are only for use by an FPGA design running within the User FPGA.

Use the following linked pages to take a closer look at how the SPI bus protocol is used on the NanoBoard 3000 to facilitate communications with various SPI-compatible resources in the system.
