+duplex communication channel for the devices that use SPI interface.
+The devices and peripherals that use the SPI interface are described
+as SPI devices in this document. </p> </section>
+<section id="GUID-6FAE8B3E-904C-567B-A6CC-5558D417BA66"><title>Architecture</title> <p>In the SPI bus one of the node must be a master device and one
+or more slave devices. There can be only one slave active at a time.
+The master device initiates and terminates communication between the
+SPI devices. The SPI is a full duplex serial data communication. In
+full duplex communication the data can be transferred between the
+master and the slave devices simultaneously. </p> <p>The SPI devices
+can be configured as master or slave. The SPI bus contain four wires.
+The first one is the serial clock signal sent by the master device
+to the slave device. The clock signal is used for synchronisation.
+The Master Output / Slave Input (<codeph>MOSI</codeph>) is used to
+send data from the master to the slave. The Slave Output / Master
+Input (<codeph>SOMI</codeph>) is used by the master device to read
+data from the slave device. The fourth line is the Slave Select (<codeph>SS</codeph>) that is used by the master to select a slave to initiate
+the communication. </p> <fig id="GUID-E7B96ED2-9814-5B75-8051-48337121F985-GENID-1-2-1-10-1-5-1-6-1-1-6-1-5-1-3-2-4">

+<section id="GUID-6931A479-BF67-4BF7-8593-712D1770B402"><title>Communication</title> <p>The master device is the node on the SPI bus that initiates and
+terminates the communication. The master must provide the configuration
+to the slave devices. The configuration includes the details like
+the channel number and the data length. The SPI devices uses 4 and
+8 bit words to communicate. If a slave device or a channel is not
+available the appropriate error is returned to the master. </p> </section>

+devices</title> <p>Typically the SPI devices are used for data transfers
+where a delay in the time taken to send the data is acceptable. The
+clients of the SPI interface are device drivers running on the application
