The correct disable procedure for certain receive only modes is:
1. Disable receive only mode in the specific time window while the last data frame is
ongoing (RXONLY=0 or BIDIOE = 1)
2. Wait until BSY=0 (the last data frame is processed).
3. Read data until FRLVL[1:0] = 00 (read all the received data)
4. Disable the SPI (SPE=0).
Note: If packing mode is used and an odd number of data frames with a format less than or equal
to 8 bits (fitting into one byte) has to be received, FRXTH must be set when FRLVL[1:0] =
01, in order to generate the RXNE event to read the last odd data frame.
Data packing
When the data frame size fits into one byte (less than or equal to 8 bits), data packing is
used automatically when any read or write 16-bit access is performed on the SPIx_DR
register. The double data frame pattern is handled in parallel in this case. At first, the SPI
operates using the pattern stored in the LSB of the accessed word, then with the other half
stored in the MSB.
handling. Two data frames are sent after the single 16-bit access the SPIx_DR register of
the transmitter. This sequence can generate just one RXNE event in the receiver if the
RXFIFO threshold is set to 16 bits (FRXTH=0). The receiver then has to access both data
frames by a single 16-bit read of SPIx_DR as a response to this single RXNE event. The
RxFIFO threshold setting and the following read access must be always kept aligned at the
receiver side, as data can be lost if it is not in line.
A specific problem appears if an odd number of such "fit into one byte" data frames must be
handled. On the transmitter side, writing the last data frame of any odd sequence with an 8-
bit access to SPIx_DR is enough. The receiver has to change the Rx_FIFO threshold level
for the last data frame received in the odd sequence of frames in order to generate the
RXNE event.
