What are the definitions of the SPI signals routed from Hard Processor Subsystem (HPS) block to FPGA in Cyclone V SoC and Arria V SoC devices?

Description

Current documentation does not define all the SPI signals routed from HPS block to the FPGA block within Cyclone® V SoC and Arria® V SoC devices.  

Resolution

The description and use of the SPI interface signals is as following.

 

spim0_txd          // 1 bit of output data
spim0_rxd          //1 bit of input data
spim0_ss_in_n   // In master mode this signal can be used to indicate master contention on the bus.
                         // You can tie it high, if this function is not used
spim0_ss_oe_n  // 1 bit of data enable - use it to tri-state the txd bus
spim0_ss_0_n   // slave select output
spim0_ss_1_n   // slave select output
spim0_ss_2_n   // slave select output
spim0_ss_3_n   // slave select output

This information will be updated in a future release of the device handbook.
