Labview -> USB-> FT2232 -> SPI

Hi,

 

I would like to build an application with the FTDI FT2232 Chip which should communicate over SPI with an external device.

I am using Labview and have implemented predefined VIs from the FTDI Webpage.

 

I think, i have configured all important parameters, but my problem is, that I can't see a clock signal on the scope at the CLK-Pin during a read/write operation.

 

I am not sure, if I have done all the configuration which are necessary for SPI communication, perhaps I have forgotten somethink or have made a mistake in the

configuration and somebody has an idea what went wrong:

 

1) Set the chip into MPSSE mode to activate SPI functionality (Clock, Data Out & CS are defined as OUTPUT, Data In is defined as INPUT)

2) SPI Open

3) SPI Set Clock

4) SPI Init

5) SPI Write

 

I can execute all these Subfunctions successfully, but the clock doesn't work!

 

In the SPI_Write subfunction I can change the Idle Level of the CLOCK, DATA OUT and CS Pins. When I play with these parameters, and change them from high to low for example,

I can see these levels on the scope.

 

Does anybody know, if there is something missing in the configuration?

 

Regards,

Markus
