1. Clearing Interrupt flags can mask other interrupts
When clearing interrupt flags in a GPIO port, interrupts on other pins of that port, happening
in the same clock cycle will not be registered.
Fix/Workaround
Read the PVR register of the port before and after clearing the interrupt to see if any pin
change has happened while clearing the interrupt. If any change occurred in the PVR
between the reads, they must be treated as an interrupt.
1. SPI data transfer hangs with CSR0.CSAAT==1 and MR.MODFDIS==0
When CSR0.CSAAT==1 and mode fault detection is enabled (MR.MODFDIS==0), the SPI
module will not start a data transfer.
Fix/Workaround
Disable mode fault detection by writing a one to MR.MODFDIS.
2. Disabling SPI has no effect on the SR.TDRE bit
Disabling SPI has no effect on the SR.TDRE bit whereas the write data command is filtered
when SPI is disabled. Writing to TDR when SPI is disabled will not clear SR.TDRE. If SPI is
disabled during a PDCA transfer, the PDCA will continue to write data to TDR until its buffer
is empty, and this data will be lost.
Fix/Workaround
Disable the PDCA, add two NOPs, and disable the SPI. To continue the transfer, enable the
SPI and PDCA.
3. SPI disable does not work in SLAVE mode
SPI disable does not work in SLAVE mode.
Fix/Workaround
Read the last received data, then perform a software reset by writing a one to the Software
Reset bit in the Control Register (CR.SWRST).
4. SPI bad serial clock generation on 2nd chip_select when SCBR=1, CPOL=1, and
NCPHA=0
When multiple chip selects (CS) are in use, if one of the baudrates equal 1 while one
(CSRn.SCBR=1) of the others do not equal 1, and CSRn.CPOL=1 and CSRn.NCPHA=0,
then an additional pulse will be generated on SCK.
Fix/Workaround
When multiple CS are in use, if one of the baudrates equals 1, the others must also equal 1
if CSRn.CPOL=1 and CSRn.NCPHA=0.
5. SPI mode fault detection enable causes incorrect behavior
When mode fault detection is enabled (MR.MODFDIS==0), the SPI module may not operate
properly.
Fix/Workaround
Always disable mode fault detection before using the SPI by writing a one to MR.MODFDIS.
6. SPI RDR.PCS is not correct
The PCS (Peripheral Chip Select) field in the SPI RDR (Receive Data Register) does not
correctly indicate the value on the NPCS pins at the end of a transfer.
Fix/Workaround
Do not use the PCS field of the SPI RDR.
