@par Example Description 

This example provides a description of how to set a communication between SPIy and
SPIz in full-duplex mode and performs a transfer from Master to Slave and then 
Slave to Master in the same application with software NSS management.
SPIy and SPIz can be SPI1 and SPI2 or SPI3 and SPI2, depending on the STMicroelectronics
EVAL board you are using.

Both SPIs are configured with 8bit data frame and a 9Mbit/s communication speed.

In the first phase, the master SPIy starts the SPIy_Buffer_Tx transfer while the 
slave SPIz transmit SPIz_Buffer_Tx. Once the transfer is completed a comparison 
is done and TransferStatus1 and TransferStatus2 gives the data transfer status for
each data transfer direction where it is PASSED if transmitted and received data 
are the same otherwise it is FAILED.

As the NSS pin is managed by software, this permit to SPIy to become slave and SPIz
to become master whithout hardware modification.
In the second step, the slave SPIy starts the SPIy_Buffer_Tx transfer while the 
master SPIz transmit SPIz_Buffer_Tx. Once the transfer is completed a comparison 
is done and TransferStatus3 and TransferStatus4 gives the data transfer status for
each data transfer direction where it is PASSED if transmitted and received data 
are the same otherwise it is FAILED.

@par Hardware and Software environment 

  - This example runs on STM32F10x Connectivity line, High-Density, Medium-Density 
    and Low-Density Devices.
  
  - This example has been tested with STMicroelectronics STM3210C-EVAL (STM32F10x 
    Connectivity line), STM3210E-EVAL (STM32F10x High-Density) and STM3210B-EVAL
    (STM32F10x Medium-Density) evaluation boards and can be easily tailored to
    any other supported device and development board.
    To select the STMicroelectronics evaluation board used to run the example, 
    uncomment the corresponding line in SPI/FullDuplex_SoftNSS/platform_config.h file.  

  - STM3210C-EVAL Set-up 
    - Connect SPI3 SCK pin (PC.10) to SPI2 SCK pin	(PB.13)
    - Connect SPI3 MISO pin (PC.11) to SPI2 MISO pin (PB.14)
    - Connect SPI3 MOSI pin (PC.12) to SPI2 MOSI pin (PB.15)
    @note In this case SPI3 pins are remapped by software.

  - STM3210E-EVAL Set-up 
    - Connect SPI1 SCK pin (PA.05) to SPI2 SCK pin	(PB.13)
    - Connect SPI1 MISO pin (PA.06) to SPI2 MISO pin (PB.14)
    - Connect SPI1 MOSI pin (PA.07) to SPI2 MOSI pin (PB.15)
    @note The jumper 14 (USB Disconnect) must be set in position 1<->2 in order
          to not interfer with SPI2 MISO pin PB14.

  - STM3210B-EVAL Set-up 
    - Connect SPI1 SCK pin (PA.05) to SPI2 SCK pin	(PB.13)
    - Connect SPI1 MISO pin (PA.06) to SPI2 MISO pin (PB.14)
    - Connect SPI1 MOSI pin (PA.07) to SPI2 MOSI pin (PB.15)

    
@par How to use it ? 

In order to make the program work, you must do the following :
- Create a project and setup all project configuration
- Add the required Library files :
  - stm32f10x_flash.c
  - stm32f10x_gpio.c  
  - stm32f10x_rcc.c
  - stm32f10x_spi.c  
  - system_stm32f10x.c (under Libraries\CMSIS\Core\CM3)
   
- Edit stm32f10x.h file to select the device you are working on.
- Edit SPI/FullDuplex_SoftNSS/platform_config.h file to select the evaluation board you will use.
  
@b Tip: You can tailor the provided project template to run this example, for 
        more details please refer to "stm32f10x_stdperiph_lib_um.chm" user 
        manual; select "Peripheral Examples" then follow the instructions 
        provided in "How to proceed" section.   
- Link all compiled files and load your image into target memory
- Run the example

@note
 - Low-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where
   the Flash memory density ranges between 16 and 32 Kbytes.
 - Medium-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where
   the Flash memory density ranges between 32 and 128 Kbytes.
 - High-density devices are STM32F101xx and STM32F103xx microcontrollers where
   the Flash memory density ranges between 256 and 512 Kbytes.
 - Connectivity line devices are STM32F105xx and STM32F107xx microcontrollers.
