Microchip 23x SRAM/NVSRAM embedded-hal SPI driver

This is a platform agnostic Rust driver for the 23x series serial SRAM/NVSRAM SPI memory chips, based on the embedded-hal traits.

See the Intro post.

This driver allows you to:

• Read a single byte from a memory address. See: read_byte().
• Read a 32-byte page starting on a memory address. See: read_page().
• Read an N-byte array starting on a memory address. See: read_sequential().
• Write a single byte to a memory address. See: write_byte().
• Write a 32-byte page starting on a memory address. See: write_page().
• Write an N-byte array starting on a memory address. See: write_sequential().
• Enable and disable transmission by managing the HOLD pin.
• Get/Set the operating mode/status register.

Read the API Documentation for more information.

Usage

Include library as a dependency in your Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
sram23x = "0.3.1"

Some example usage:

extern crate sram23x;
use sram23x::*;

fn main() {
    // 1. Ensure spi, cs, and hold pins are defined. hold pin is required (any unused output pin will do)
    // (device specific)

    // 2. Instantiate memory device 23LCV1024
    let mut sram = Sram23x::new(spi, cs, hold, device_type::M23xv1024).unwrap();

    // 3. Check the operating mode register
    println!("Operating mode register: {:?}", sram.mode);

    // 4. Change the operating mode to sequential
    sram.set_mode(OperatingMode::Sequential as u8).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(sram.mode, 0b01);

    // 5. Write 4 bytes of data starting at address 0x00 from a buffer
    let mut data: [u8; 4] = ['t' as u8, 'e' as u8, 's' as u8, 't' as u8];
    sram.write_sequential(0x00_u32, &mut data).unwrap();

    // 6. Read 4 bytes of data starting at address 0x00 into a buffer
    sram.read_sequential(0x00_u32, &mut data).unwrap();
    println!("Read data: {:?}", data);
    assert_eq!(data[0], 't' as u8);
    assert_eq!(data[1], 'e' as u8);
    assert_eq!(data[2], 's' as u8);
    assert_eq!(data[3], 't' as u8);

    // 7. Write and read 1 byte to/from address 0x04
    sram.set_mode(OperatingMode::Byte as u8).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(sram.mode, 0b00);
    sram.write_byte(0x04_u32, 'a' as u8).unwrap();
    let byte = sram.read_byte(0x04_u32).unwrap();
    println!("Read 1 byte: {:?}", byte);
    assert_eq!(byte, 'a' as u8);

    // 8. Write and read a 32-byte page starting at address 0x00
    sram.set_mode(OperatingMode::Page as u8).unwrap();
    assert_eq!(sram.mode, 0b10);
    let mut data = "Microchip\n1Mbit serial\nsram test".as_bytes();
    sram.write_page(0x00_u32, data).unwrap();
    let page = sram.read_page(0x00_u32).unwrap();
    println!("Read a 32-byte page: {:?}", page);
    assert_eq!(page[0], 'M' as u8);
    assert_eq!(page[31], 't' as u8);
}

Todo

• Separate I/O into their own private functions
• Add tests
• Document other missing minor details
