Hello Community,
I m working on a Vector FBL on Tc3E7 and i m trying to communicate with an SBC using QSPI4.

I configured the Baudrate to 500000 and the fQSPI to 160Mhz.

I m using Mcal SPI driver.

using the logic analyzer(screenshot below), I saw that the clock is sent out with the correct frequency, the MOSI data is correct, the chipselect is also triggered correctly and there is data returned from SBC in the MISO line.

However, the SPI does not read the data in MISO line and returns FFFFF intead.

Do you have any hints what could be the issue here ?

Hi Dw,
I don t know what I did, but know the SPI communication is working!

Thank you very much for your kind support!

Could you please try QSPI2 and QSPI3?

Above code is example for your reference.

Please use duplex mode to try.

The QSPI operates in one of three modes regarding the direction of the communication and depending whether the transmission and the reception appear simultaneously or not: duplex, half-duplex and simplex mode.
This gives six possible combinations for the operating mode of the QSPI: master duplex, half-duplex, and simplex; slave duplex, half-duplex, and simplex.

Hello DW,
Thank you for your inputs.
Sadly, i m integrating on a remote customer HW, and only QSPI4 is used, so I cannot experiment with other QSPIs.

I m using MCal spi, and according to the user manual :
"The SPI driver operates in the master and full duplex communication modes only. The driver supports
synchronous and asynchronous communication supporting Level-0, Level-1 and Level-2 type configurations."

So it seems i configured master full duplex and Level0.

What confuses me is the bus trace looks ok, but it seems i can't read the MISO, is there any special register that i have to check, or hint to where i can look for , as it doesn t make sense for me why it cannot read the data that seem to be correct.

It's useful if you post all the registers' value of QSPI.

Hello, 
Here is the QSPI4 registers after i sent the first command :

Did you notice any unusual settings in my config, I think, as the baudrate requirement are different for you and me, it's not expected to have the same config.

Also, as I'm using Tricore MCAL spi driver, I expect it to write the correct registers, and explained, the transmit works fine, but just the reception in the miso.
I thought it might be a pin config issue, voltage level or something like that, I played with Cmos and TTL levels, no change.

What I noticed also, that the RXFIFO level is set to one when we transmit something and before we read the REXIT register, so we received something, but it s read FFFFF when the logic analyzer shows otherwise, I don t know yet.

Lautherbach doesn t show me the content of the ENtry and REXIT registers, so i don t know if there is anything inside, is this normal ?

This issue is reported internally for QSPI4. If possible, please use QSPI0/1/2/3 to try.

Hi DW,
unfortunately, the SBC is soldered to Port 33 using pins 9, 11, 12 and 13 so we can t change QSPI4 without redesigning the board.

But does your statement mean that it is a known issue for QSPI4 in TC3E7 and there is an eratta for it? or did you report my issue internally, for me to know what to report to project management?  
Thank you very much!

Hi Noblesse, It's better to compare the project source file previous one and currently working one. Then will know if any settings impacts.
