Multiple SPI with Artemis

Development Boards Artemis
1

Hi,

I am planning to use the SparkFun MicroMod Artemis Processor for a custom project and I have the following questions.

The project will need a multi slave scheme: up to 4 SPIs (CLK and MISO) and up to 8 CS shared across the SPIs. As I have seen the features, I am bit confused. It mentions that the Artemis chip has 6 SPI’s but this is not possible on MicroMod Artemis. Can you please clarify if I reconfigure the ports differently from those you have set-up in that module so I can meet the requirements of the project?

Moreover, I will also need one extra SPI for the SD card. Is the SDIO protocol possible?

Thanks

Thanks for reaching out to us on this.

That’s because the MicroMod carrier system exposes different pins in according to use-cases; while we won’t make any guarantees about if you’ll be able to get that set-up working correctly, the info you’re after might be surmised from these 2:
