1.8.7 SPI Interface
The Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) interface is a four-wire, bidirectional synchronous serial bus that provides
a simple and efficient method for data exchange among devices. The multichannel serial port interfaces (McSPI)
of the OMAP44xx has four separate modules (SPI1, SPI2, SPI3, and SPI4). The interface signals of the first
module (McSPI1) are made available on the phyCORE-Connector. This module is Master/Slave configurable and
supports up to four peripherals. The following table lists the SPI signals on the phyCORE-Connector:
1.8.8 Multichannel Buffered Serial Port (McBSP)
The Multichannel Buffered Serial Port (McBSP) interface of the phyCORE-OMAP44xx is a full-duplex, serial port
that allows to communicate with a variety of serial devices in a system such as other application chips (digital
base band), audio and voice codecs,etc. The McBSP supports a direct interface to industry-standard codecs,
analog interface chips (AICs) and other serially connected A/D and D/A devices, such as Inter-IC sound (I
2
S)
compliant devices, pulse code modulation (PCM) devices and time devision multiplexed (TDM) bus devices.
The OMAP44xx controller offers four instances of the McBSP module. The interface signals of the third module
(McBSP3) are brought out to the phyCORE-Connector. The following table shows the location of the McBSP
signals on the phyCORE-Connector.
