Base Board SPI Registers
The following tables describe the SPI control and data registers of the EBX-11 Rev. 6.00
and later. This is the standard set of SPI registers for VersaLogic CPU boards with an
SPX interface. See the reference manual for details and updates.

Description
D7 CPOL
SPI Clock Polarity –
Sets the SCLK idle state.
0 = SCLK idles low
1 = SCLK idles high
D6 CPHA
SPI Clock Phase –
Sets the SCLK edge on which valid data will be read.
0 = Data read on rising edge
1 = Data read on falling edge
D5-D4 SPILEN
SPI Frame Length –
Sets the SPI frame length. This selection works in
manual and auto slave select modes.

D3 MAN_SS
SPI Manual Slave Select Mode –
This bit determines whether the slave select
lines are controlled through the user software or are automatically controlled by
a write operation to SPIDATA3 (1DDh). If MAN_SS = 0, then the slave select
operates automatically; if MAN_SS = 1, then the slave select line is controlled
manually through SPICONTROL bits SS2, SS1, and SS0.
0 = Automatic, default
1 = Manual
D2-D0 SS
SPI Slave Select –
These bits select which slave select will be asserted. The
SSx# pin on the base board will be directly controlled by these bits when
MAN_SS = 1.
