The ESP32S3 SPI slave cannot fully receive data

Postby 393877719 » Thu Mar 07, 2024 3:30 am

Hi,
I have a project that needs to use 2 SPI peripherals of ESP32S3, one for SPI host and one for SPI slave. It is used to connect an SPI device that has both an SPI host and an SPI slave.
The SPI host of the ESP32S3 connects to the SPI slave of the SPI device, and the SPI slave of the ESP32S3 connects to the SPI host of the SPI device, as shown in the following figure.

The communication between ESP32S3 and SPI device is initiated by SPI host of ESP32S3, after ESP32S3 sends a 6-byte data frame through SPI host port, SPI device will respond to the corresponding data through SPI slave port of ESP32S3, Each response will be divided into multiple data frames for transmission, each frame is 6-bytes. And the frame interval is about 5us.
I used the spi_slave_transmit() and spi_slave_queue_trans() functions respectively, but all data frames could not be received normally. Therefore, I tested with the following code and found that the SPI frame interval was too short and the ESP32S3 could not receive all in time if i used the spi_device_queue_trans() functions.

but, if i used the the spi_device_transmit() , the ESP32S3 can receive all in time, but the frame interval is too long, and this is not i wanted.

Do you have a better way to solve the ESP32S3 continuous receiving frame interval of less than 5us, hope to get your reply, thank you!

Do you have a better way to solve the ESP32S3 continuous receiving frame interval of less than 5us, hope to get your reply, thank you!
If you haven't already, you must at least get rid of printf's or other logging between the transactions.

As you can see, I set the SPI queue send interval to 3-seconds in the test code, and I think that even if printf is used in the receive task, the result will not be affected.
by the way, during the test, I directly connected SPI2 and SPI3 through wires, that is, GPIO19 connected GPIO35, GPIO20 connected GPIO34,GPIO21 connected GPIO33.

Yes, I failed to see that you enqueue all transactions first.

Did you see https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... n-interval ?
