select(IO_7)

Set this option to have pin IO_7 used as a slave select (SS) signal in slave
mode. In slave mode, this option is used when there are multiple slaves

connected to a master. However, when the device is the only slave (and thus

there is no need for the master to use a dedicated slave select signal), then
pin IO_7 should be separately declared as an input pin and externally

grounded.

In master mode, the select keyword is not used; thus, IO_7 can be used for

other purposes.

clock(

const-expr

)

The clock selection can be an integer from 0 to 7, and selects a clock divisor

for the SPI interface. This clock divisor and the input clock control the serial

bit rate of the SPI interface. Clock selection applies only to master mode.
For a Series 3100 or Series 5000 device at 10 MHz, the minimum serial bit

rate is 19531 bps and the maximum rate is 156250 bps.
If you omit this keyword, the default used is clock(0).

invert

By default, the clock is idle at 1. Set this option to specify that the clock is

idle at 0.

This definition relates directly to the clock polarity (CPOL) parameter

defined for other SPI implementations. Using the invert keyword is
equivalent to defining CPOL = 0; the default declaration is equivalent to

defining CPOL =1. Both the SPI master and the SPI slave are required to

use the same clock polarity.

on page 107 for more information.

clockedge(+|-)

Set this option to + for in-phase interfaces (CPHA=1) to specify that data is
valid on the rising edge of the clock. Set this option to – for out-of-phase

interfaces (CPHA=0) to specify that data is valid on the falling edge of the

clock. By default, if you omit this parameter, data is valid on the rising edge
of the clock (clockedge(+)). The clock phase (CPHA) must be identically

specified for both the SPI master and SPI slave devices.
In-phase interfaces present the data bit on the first transition of the clock
signal, and latch it on the second transition. Out-of-phase interfaces present

the data bit before the first transition of the clock signal, and latch it on the
first transition.

neurowire

Set this option to select Neurowire compatible mode, where the MOSI and

MISO pins do not change direction based on any slave select. The default is

SPI mode.

io-object-name

Specifies a name for the I/O object, in the ANSI C format for variable

identifiers.
