SPI-Bitbang Sample

Overview

This sample demonstrates using the bitbang SPI driver. The bitbang driver can be useful for devices which use a non multiple of 8 word size, for example some LCDs which have an extra cmd/data bit.

This sample loops through some different spi transfer configurations.

Building and Running

The application will build only for a target that has a devicetree entry with zephyr,spi-bitbang as a compatible.

You can connect the MISO and MOSI pins with a wire to provide a basic loopback test for receive data.
