I connected MOSI to MISO on Raspberry PI 3

Executed the below code:

import time
import sys
import spidev


spi = spidev.SpiDev()
spi.open(0,0)
print(spi.bits_per_word)
print(spi.mode)
print(spi.max_speed_hz)
ret = spi.xfer2([0x1, 0x2, 0x3, 0x4])
print (ret)

I am getting a different output data than what I send:

pi@raspberrypi:~/spi $ python3 spi.py 
8
0
125000000
[0, 1, 1, 2]

May I know the reason, why is the input data not same as the output?

Update:

setting the speed to 30 MHZ worked.spi.max_speed_hz = 30000

    From provided data, the only pattern I see it that LSB is missing in data read from. It might be a coincidence. Can you make more experiments, lower the clock perhaps? Which pins are used? Pin configuration? – domen Jan 9 '20 at 14:52

    I suggest you set a more sensible SPI speed. I doubt more than 30 MHz works reliably (the current setting is 125 MHz). – joan Jan 9 '20 at 15:02

  • @md.jamal Please add this important information to the question's body. – M. Rostami Jan 10 '20 at 15:00
