CSPI_MOSI

Master Out Slave In bidirectional signal, which is TxD output signal from the data shift register in master mode. In Slave mode it is RxD input to the data shift register.

CSPI_MISO

Master In Slave Out bidirectional signal, which is RxD input signal to the data shift register in master mode. In Slave mode it is TxD output from the data shift register.

CSPI_SCLK

CSPI Clock bidirectional signal, which is CSPI clock output in master mode. In slave mode it is an input CSPI clock signal.

CSPI_RDY

Serial Data Ready signal - This input signal is used for hardware control only in master mode. It indicates that external SPI slave is ready to receive data. It will edge or level trigger a CSPI burst if used. If the hardware control enabled, CSPI will transfer data only when external SPI slave is ready.

The i.MX processors contains Configurable Serial Peripheral Interface (CSPI) modules that allow rapid data communication with fewer software interrupts than conventional serial communications. Each CSPI is equipped with two data FIFOs and is a master/slave configurable serial peripheral interface module, allowing processor to interface with both external SPI master and slave devices.
