Operating Modes
15-12 ADSP-214xx SHARC Processor Hardware Reference
SPIDS pins to the DPI pins of the master SHARC. Since these flags are 
NOT open drain, slave select pins cannot be shorted together in multi 
master environment. To control slave selects, an external glue logic is 
required in a multi-master environment. 
Another feature is implemented to troubleshoot the bus mastership proto-
col. If a recent SHARC bus master receives an invalidly asserted SPIDS 
signal, it triggers an error handling scenario using the MME bit (SPIMME bit 
for DMA) and ISSEN bit to reconfigure the SPI to slave mode, and jump 
into an ISR. This ensures that any potential driver conflict is solved. For 
more information, see “Control Registers (SPICTL, SPICTLB)” on 
page A-232.

This sections describes the different mechanisms used for master or slave 
select operation modes.
