SHIPCore:SHIP SPIM

Subsystem	Introduced	Description
SHIP_SPIM	v4.0	SPI Master framework to encapsulate hardware-specific peripherals and drivers.

SHIP_SPIM is an SPI Master driver framework supporting:

• Hardware-independent API
• Multiple different types of concurrent underlying SPI hardware peripherals through plug-in drivers
• Bus locking and support for multiple targets (SPMT's) on the same bus
• Optional error return values clearly describing the reason a function may have failed, including timeouts

SHIP_SPIM is part of SHIPCore, the foundational firmware enabling application development for Serious Communications Modules. SHIPCore is bundled in SHIPWare for Serious Communications Modules which adds the OS, BSP, drivers, and glue on top of SHIPCore to create an out-of-the-box embedded application environment.

Files

• SHIP_Core/SHIP_SPIM.h is the API definition and is automatically included by SHIP_Core.h
• SHIP_Core/SHIP_SPIM.c is the abstracted hardware-independent implementation of the bus locking and encapsulating array of the driver descriptors per port

When implemented, the low level hardware/board/peripheral driver file(s) will be present to implement this API on a platform, for example on the SCM208, Common/SPIMDriver.c instantiate a low level driver for the Renesas MCU's RSPI peripheral.
