TS-7600 SPI
The SPI controller is implemented in the FPGA. This is commonly accessed by accessing the registers directly. This core is found at offset 0x60 in #NBUS space. The core itself is 16bits wide, however in order to accommodate 8bit (or any multiple of 8bit) SPI transactions the data registers will only use the lower 8bits, the upper 8 bits are ignored.
The table below is the register map for the SPI in the FPGA:
| Offset | Access | Bit(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0x0 | Read Only | 15 | SPI MISO state |
| Read/Write | 14 | SPI CLK state | |
| Read/Write | 13:10 | Speed[3:0] - 0 (highest), 1 (1/2 speed), 2 (1/4 speed)... | |
| Read/Write | 9:8 | LUN (0-3 representing the 4 chip selects) | |
| Read/Write | 7 | CS (1 - CS# is asserted) | |
| N/A | 6:1 | Reserved | |
| Read/Write | 0 | Speed[4] | |
| 0x2 | Read Only | 15:0 | Previous SPI read data from last write |
| 0x4 | N/A | 15:0 | Reserved |
| 0x6 | N/A | 15:0 | Reserved |
| 0x8 | Read/Write | 15:0 | SPI read/write with CS# to stay asserted |
| 0xa | Read Only | 15:0 | SPI pipelined read with CS# to stay asserted |
| 0xc | Read/Write | 15:0 | SPI Read/Write with CS# to deassert post-op |
| 0xe | N/A | 15:0 | Reserved |
The SPI clk state register should be set when CS# is deasserted. Value 0 makes SPI rising edge (CPOL=0), 1 is falling edge (CPOL=1). This only applies to speed >= 1.
The clock feeding the SPI peripheral is 75MHz, speed settings break down as follows:
| Value | Speed |
|---|---|
| 0 | Do Not Use |
| 1 | 37.5MHz |
| 2 | 18.75MHz |
| 3 | 12.5MHz |
| 4 | 9.375MHz |
| 5 | 7.5MHz |
| 6 | 6.25MHz |
| 7 | 5.36MHz |
| 8 | 4.68MHz |
| 9 | 4.17MHz |
| 15 | 2.5MHz |
| 19 | 1.97MHz |
| 31 | 1.21MHz |
The pipelined read register is for read bursts and will automatically start a subsequent SPI read upon completion of the requested SPI read. Reading from this register infers that another read will shortly follow and allows this SPI controller "a head start" on the next read for optimum read performance. This register should be accessed as long as there will be at least one more SPI read with CS# asserted to take place.
