BCM4319 Preliminary Data Sheet
gSPI
Status
The SPI interface supports status notification to the host after a read/write transaction. This status notification
provides information about any packet errors, protocol errors, information about available packet in the RX
queue, etc. The status information helps in reducing the number of interrupts to the Host. The status-reporting
feature can be switched off using a register bit, without any timing overhead. The SPI bus timing for read/write
transactions with and without status notification are as shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13 on page 32. See
Table 2 on page 32 for information on status field details.
