I am trying to communicate with an SD memory card using the BF-537 ez-kit board. I have the SPI interface set up, but i need to send a 6-byte command at once without the slave select line changing. It appears the only word size options availabe are 8- and 16-bits... is there a way to do this??
What VIs are you using to send data? Is the 6 byte command for the flash memory? Is it mentioned in the memory manual? Can you verify that its 6 bytes and not bits.
8 and 16 bits are dictated by the hardware. 8 bits = 1 byte, so set the setting to 8-bit, then send a buffer of 6 U8 values, and that is your 6 bytes of info.
