, SSIG (SPCTL.7) for the slave is logic 0, and SS is used to select the slave.
The SPI master can use any port pin (including P2.4/SS) to drive the SS pin.
shows a case where two devices are connected to each other and either device
can be a master or a slave. When no SPI operation is occurring, both can be configured
as masters (MSTR = 1) with SSIG cleared to 0 and P2.4 (SS) configured in
quasi-bidirectional mode. When a device initiates a transfer, it can configure P2.4 as an
output and drive it low, forcing a mode change in the other device (see
) to slave.
