Description

Write data to and read data from an SPI peripheral device

The Queued Synchronous Peripheral Interface (QSPI) block accepts 1-D array of data type int8, uint8, int16, uint16, int32, and uint32. The block outputs an array of the same size and data type as the input values.

Ports

Input

SDO — Serial data out

scalar | vector

The port inputs the data to be communicated with peripheral device. The datatype is based on the block mask configuration.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Transfer mode parameter to either SPI Transmit and Receive or SPI Transmit.

Data Types: int8 | uint8 | int16 | uint16 | int32 | uint32

SDImsg — SoC Blockset simulation message

scalar

If the Transfer mode is set to either SPI Transmit and Receive or SPI Receive, the QSPI block converts the SoC Blockset™ message SDImsg into output data at the SDI output port during simulation.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable simulation port parameter and set the port type as SoC Data (Message based).

SDIsig — Simulink based simulation signal

scalar | vector

If the Transfer mode is set to either SPI Transmit and Receive or SPI Receive, this input port acts as pass-through with the SDI output of QSPI block during simulation.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable simulation port parameter and set the port type as Signal.

Output

SDI — Serial data in

scalar | vector

The port outputs the data received from the peripheral device. The output datatype is based on the block mask configuration.

Dependencies

To enable this port, set the Transfer mode parameter to either SPI Transmit and Receive or SPI Receive.

Data Types: int8 | uint8 | int16 | uint16 | int32 | uint32

status — Status of QSPI

scalar

The block outputs the status of the data that was received, or the errors that occurred during the data transmission and reception, as a unit16 scalar value

Bit	Status
Bit 0	Transaction successful
Bit 1	Busy
Bit 2	Parity Error
Bit 3	Configuration Error
Bit 4	Baud Rate Error
Bit 5	Transmit buffer (Tx FIFO) Overflow Error
Bit 6	Tx FIFO Underflow Error
Bit 7	Receive buffer (Rx FIFO) Overflow Error
Bit 8	Rx FIFO Underflow Error
Bit 9	Timeout Error

For example, the status of 17 (sets 4^th and 0^th bit) represents successful transaction with baud rate error.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable status port parameter.

Data Types: uint16

SDOmsg — SoC Blockset simulation message

scalar

If the Transfer mode is set to either SPI Transmit and Receive or SPI Transmit, this port outputs the data received at SDO port in message form during simulation.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable simulation port parameter and set the port type as SoC Data (Message based).

SDOsig — Simulink based simulation signal

scalar | vector

If the Transfer mode is set to either SPI Transmit and Receive or SPI Transmit, this port outputs the data received at SDO port during simulation.

Dependencies

To enable this port, select the Enable simulation port parameter and set the port type as Signal.

Parameters

Basic

Transfer mode — Select data type transfer

SPI Transmit and Receive (default) | SPI Transmit | SPI Receive

Select the QSPI transfer mode.

• SPI Transmit and Receive - In this transfer mode, the algorithm waits until the data is received before continuing processing/further processing.

  When you select this transfer mode, the block configures both output and input ports, SDO and SDI.

• SPI Transmit - In this transfer mode, you can transmit the data without waiting to receive. Before initiating the data transfer, ensure the status is 1 i.e. not in progress from the QSPI Receive block.

  When you select this transfer mode, the block configures an input port, SDO.

  Note

  QSPI Receive block is responsible to handle the receive data from the peripheral device. In other words both QSPI Transmit block and QSPI Receive block must be used to complete the data transfer.

• SPI Receive - In this transfer mode, you can receive the data from peripheral device.

  When you select this transfer mode, the block configures an output port, SDI.

  Note

  The data should be transmitted using QSPI Transmit block before receiving the data. In other words, both QSPI Transmit and QSPI Receive block must be used to complete the data transfer.

Data bits — Select data bits

2 (default) | 5 | 6 | ...

Data bits parameter provides the frame length of each data element in the QSPI communication. If the selected data bits is in the range:

• 2 to 8 - the valid data types are int8 or unit8.

• 9 to 16 - the valid data types are int16 or unit16.

• 17 to 32 - the valid data types are int32 or unit32.

Enable status port — Enable to configure output status port

off (default) | on

Select this parameter to output status of data transfer.

When you select the Output Status parameter, the block configures an output port, Status.

Sample time — Frequency at which block reads input data

-1 (default) | scalar | vector

Specify in seconds how often the block should read the input data.

When you specify this parameter as -1, Simulink^® determines the best sample time for the block based on the block context within the model.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set the Transfer mode to the SPI Receive

Enable simulation port — Enable peripheral simulation ports in the block

off (default) | on

Select this parameter to enable peripheral simulation capability.

Note

If you do not have a SoC Blockset license, the Enable simulation port parameter is visible but you cannot enable it.

Port Type — Specify the type of peripheral simulation port

SoC Data (Message based) (default) | Signal

Select this parameter to configure either the SoC Blockset compatible or the Simulink signal based simulation ports to enable peripheral simulation capability.

Dependencies

To view this parameter, select the Enable simulation port parameter.

Advanced

Output data length — Specify data length to be received

1 (default) | positive integer

Specify the data length to be received from the peripheral device.

Note

The data length specified must match the data transmitted using QSPI Transmit block.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set the Transfer mode to the SPI Receive

Output data type — Select output data type

1 (default) | positive integer

Select the supported data types based on the data bits selected.

Dependencies

To enable this parameter, set the Transfer mode to either SPI Receive or SPI Transmit and Receive
