This page gives an overview of the bare-metal driver support for the The LogiCORE™ IP AXI Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI).
The AXI Quad Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) core connects the AXI4 interface to those SPI slave devices that support the Standard, Dual, or Quad SPI protocol instruction set. This core provides a serial interface to SPI slave devices. The Dual/Quad SPI is an enhancement to the standard SPI protocol (described in the Motorola M68HC11 data sheet) and provides a simple method for data exchange between a master and a slave.
The source code for the driver is included with the Vitis Unified Software Platform installation, as well as being available in the Xilinx Github repository.
Driver Name | Path in Vitis | Path in Github |
---|---|---|

Note: To view the sources for a particular release, use the rel-version tag in github. For example, for the 2020.1 release, the proper version of the code is: https://github.com/Xilinx/embeddedsw/tree/xilinx-v2020.1/XilinxProcessorIPLib/drivers/spi
The driver source code is organized into different folders. The table below shows the nandpsu driver source organization.
Directory | Description |
---|---|
doc | Provides the API and data structure details |
data | Driver .tcl , .mdd and .yaml files |
examples | Example applications that show how to use the driver features |
src | Driver source files, make and cmakelists file |
Note: AMD Xilinx embeddedsw build flow is changed from 2023.2 release to adapt to the new system device tree based flow. For further information, refer to the wiki page Porting embeddedsw components to system device tree (SDT) based flow - Xilinx Wiki - Confluence (atlassian.net).
The .yaml(in data folder) and CMakeLists.txt(in src folder) files are needed for the System Device Tree based flow. The Driver .tcl and .mdd files are for the older build flow which will be deprecated in the future.
For a full list of features supported by this IP, please refer to Axi Quad Spi.
DMA access (aligned address only)
IO access
Configurable clock
Configurable bus width
Interrupts – will be chosen and enabled internally
The standalone driver supports Axi-spi and AXI Quad spi

Refer to the driver examples directory for various example applications that exercise the different features of the driver. Each application is linked in the table below. The following sections describe the usage and expected output of the various applications. These example applications can be imported into the Vitis IDE from the Board Support Package settings tab
