Understanding SPI Communication Between STM32 and ESP32 (Using Two Different Chips for Inter-Board SPI Implementation)

Understanding SPI Communication Between STM32 and ESP32 (Using Two Different Chips for Inter-Board SPI Implementation)

Friends, recently I needed to use SPI communication, so I used two boards, the STM32F03C8T6 and the ESP32, to implement SPI communication between them. Here, the STM32 acts as the SPI master, using the STM32 standard library functions. The ESP32 acts as the SPI slave, using the ESP-IDF spi_slave driver.P.S. I searched online for a … Read more
