hal-avr-mega-spi - AVR ATmega SPI Hardware Abstraction

The hal-avr-mega-spi is a lightweight spi hardware abstraction library for AVR ATmega microcontrollers. It provides a clean interface for spi initialization and communication while hiding direct register-level interaction from higher software layers. The library is intended for projects that want to separate low-level device startup code from application logic and establish a small, reusable system layer for AVR targets.

Features

• SPI master configuration for AVR ATmega devices.
• SPI master communication for AVR ATmega devices.
• Encapsulation of low-level register access.
• Compact and reusable API for embedded projects.
• Foundation for layered HAL architectures.

The hal-avr-mega-spi library reduces coupling by providing a focused interface for essential spi system services. This improves portability inside a project, keeps startup code organized, and makes higher-level modules easier to maintain.

Programming

Additional parameters like spi clock speed, prescaler, pin definitions and many more can be setup in the header file. A user friendly description can be found here.

#include "../hal/avr/spi/spi.h"

int main(void)
{
	spi_init(SPI_MSB, SPI_Rising, SPI_Rising);

    while (1)
    {
        spi_select(SPI_Enable);

        unsigned char data = 0x00;
        data = spi_transfer(data);

        spi_select(SPI_Disable);
    }
}
