Raspberry pi newbie here. As part of my academics i was working on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ , Raspbian OS kernel 4.14.98-v7 and i was testing protocols and i am stuck at SPI.

I am running spidev_test.c from https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/spi/spidev_test.c to test my SPI. Pin connections i have done

(Pin 21) MISO - MOSI (Pin 19)

(Pin 19) MOSI - MISO (Pin 21)

(Pin 23) SCLK - Logic Analyzer 0

(Pin 11) CS - Logic Analyzer 1

I am using spidev0.1 in the program as device.

I was observing the outputs in my logic analyzer i got from the department lab and i noticed as i increase the frequency in the code spidev_test.c static uint32_t speed = 500000;

The logic voltage level of my SCLK keeps decreasing. The CS output is proper 3.3 for high and 0 for low.

Upto 800 Khz i get somewhere around 3.29 and after that it starts to reduce. I want to test my SPI on 9.6Mhz for which i am getting a voltage around 1.6 V.

I double checked if SPI is enabled or not and it is enabled. I am not able to debug the Error. Any feedback would be helpful.

EDIT 1: Screenshot at 5Mhz enter image description here

Channel 2 is SCLK Channel 3 is CS

Solution : It's the sampling rate of the logic analyzer that was the problem. It's the fundamental stuff that you have to look into rather than thinking about contention of SPI bus. Lesson learned

Question

SPI 800kHz CLK amplitude is 3.29V, and decreases as SPI frequency increases,
SPI 9.6 MHz amplitude is only 1.6V, ...

Answer

For my Rpi3B+ stretch9, SPI 100kHz, 1MHz, and 5MHz, signal amplitude does not change noticeably, ...

Appendix C - SPI 1 Learning Notes

SPI1 (Auxiliary SPI) Config and Kernel Module

SPI1 (an auxiliary SPI device) is supported in raspbian kernels from 4.4 onwards.

SPI1 uses GPIO16-21 (by default) and is found on all 40 pin rPi’s to date.

It has up to three CS lines allowing you to control 3 devices natively. The kernel module allows for the CS lines to be repositioned on any free GPIO pin via the appropriate options passed to the dtoverlay.

The device reports supporting the following Linux SPIdev options:

SPI_CS_HIGH (CS inverted)

SPI_NO_CS (Device is signalled elsewhere) – this option is utilised for the GPIO CS implementation the kernel driver now uses.

The implementation of SPI1 allows for a fair bit of flexibility. There three overlays, a 1CS, 2CS and 3CS option. If you only need to control one device use the 1CS option. You can expand to more CS lines later

enable spi1 with a single CS line dtoverlay=spi1-1cs

enable spi1 with two CS lines dtoverlay=spi1-2cs

enable spi1 with three CS lines dtoverlay=spi1-3cs

Additionally the CS lines are now software controlled so they can be reconfigured to any available GPIO pin. See the /boot/overlays/README for details.

Kernel Module

The module is called spi_bcm2835.

If SPI1 is enabled in the config.txt the kernel module should load automatically after a reboot. Check with lsmod.

$ lsmod | grep spi spi_bcm2835 7216 0

If it doesn’t appear make sure this isn’t blacklisted in/etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf. When the module is running you will find device nodes have been created as per the dtoverlay in the the config.txt.

crw-rw---- 1 root spi 153, 0 Jan 11 15:47 spidev1.0 crw-rw---- 1 root spi 153, 1 Jan 11 15:47 spidev1.1

System Config

You should already have a user group called ‘spi’ which has read/write access to the device nodes. Add yourself and any other accounts that need access to this group if you have not already done so.

sudo usermod -a -G spi

  • Well, of course there is something wrong with 1.632V. Usually I swap things to troubleshoot. For example, I might try SPI(1, 2) which uses different CLK, MOSI, and CS pins. Or I might try UART which also uses different pins. BTW, I assume your SPI wires are less than 1 metre, not 100 metres! :)

  • Hey, Sorry for the delay, i couldn't get my hands on a logic analyzer due to summer holidays. This is the update so far. I tried with SPI 1 port, same issue. i tried a Raspberry Pi 2 B model and i got the same issue. I changed the logic analyzer, same issue. I reinstalled logic analyzer software on my linux desktop, same issue. I tried the new buster OS, same issue. I am not able to debug this at all

  • @Oncetwice, Interesting. Just brainstorming: (1) Use a scope instead, (2) connect scope probe ground as near as possible to SPI signal ground. Let me know if it doesn't help.

  • Hey i found the reason. It may sound stupid but it was actually the sampling rate of the logic analyzer that was messing everything up. Such a stupid mistake. Thanks for replying man. Have a nice day. :)
