Handling data transmission and reception

The TXE flag (Tx buffer empty) is set when the data is transferred from the Tx buffer to the

shift register. It indicates that the internal Tx buffer is ready to be loaded with the next data.

An interrupt can be generated if TXIE bit in the SPI_ICR register is set.

Note:

The software must ensure that TXE flag is set to 1 before attempting to write into the Tx

buffer. Otherwise, it will overwrite the data which was previously written in the Tx buffer.

The RXNE flag (Rx buffer not empty) is set on the last sampling clock edge, when the data

is transferred from the shift register to the Rx buffer. It indicates that a data is ready to be

read from the SPI_DR register. An interrupt can be generated if RXIE bit in the SPI_ICR

In some configurations, the BSY flag can be used during the last data transfer to wait until

the completion of the transfer.

Full Duplex Transmit and receive procedure in master or slave mode

(BDM=0 and RXONLY = 0)

Enable the SPI by setting the SPE bit

Write the first data to be transmitted in the SPI_DR register (this clears the TXE flag).

Wait until TXE = 1 and write the second data to be transmitted. Then wait until RXNE =

1 and read the SPI_DR to get the first received data (this clears the RXNE bit). Repeat

this operation for each data to be transmitted/received until the n-1 received data.

Wait until RXNE = 1 and read the last received data.

Wait until TXE = 1 and then wait until BSY = 0 before disabling the SPI.

This procedure can also be implemented using dedicated interrupt subroutines launched at

each rising edge of RXNE or TXE flags.
