I am using the SPI-Slave to Avalon-MM IP to communicate with a MAX10 FPGA from a host processor (current test is on DE10-Lite board). In general everything is working. I can read and write devices and memory on the bus, with one exception. When I try to write data that has an IDLE character as the last byte sent, the data is not written correctly.
For example, to write the data 4A 00 00 00 to address 00 04 00 00, I produce the following escaped packet which is sent to the SPI port:
Data to Send: 00 00 00 4A
Address and Data: 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 4A
Escaped Address and Data: 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 4A
Full Command Pkt: 7A 7C 00 04 00 00 04 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 7B 4A
Final SPI escaped data sent: 7A 7C 00 04 00 00 04 00 04 00 00 00 00 00 7B 4D 6A
When I read this location, the data is 4D 00 00 00, as if the spi slave is ignoring the escape byte and treating the escape (4D) as a normal character. This DOES NOT happen if the 4A is anywhere but in the final byte. If I leave out the escape character, the 4A is ignored as an IDLE byte.
What am I doing wrong? Every other data write to this area of memory works perfectly. It is only data values that contain 4A in the last byte sent that are a problem.
I'm not sure this is the correct forum for this post, please redirect me if necessary.
