I have some questions regarding SPI code implementation with nios ii .

I am a novice fpga programmer forced to do firmware so I am not super knowledgeable. I successfully was able to create a nios embedded system with SPI, and am using the alt_avalon_spi_command

Now in reading the documentation, it says that it writes a buffer to mosi of arbitrary length but in the same breath it says that it only works for 8 bit data widths.

I am looking at the output with signal tap and it seems to indeed be limited to 8 bits.

Is this correct?
