# Communicating through SPI
|
||
|
|
||
|
Many very useful device are able to communicate through the SPI
|
||
|
protocol, for example, SD cards and AVR MCUs. In many cases,
|
||
|
however, CPUs can't "speak SPI" because of their inability to
|
||
|
bit-bang.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In most cases, we need an extra peripheral, which we can build
|
||
|
ourselves, to interface with devices that "speak SPI". We call
|
||
|
this peripheral a SPI relay.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The design of those relays depend on the CPU architecture. See
|
||
|
spi.txt in arch-specific folders for more information.
