1.4 SPI Packet Structure

All the commands are sent as packets. Only the Master can initiate a packet transaction. A command packet consists of START_CHARACTER, 2 byte header (command byte, Length), variable data payload and a checksum byte. These are explained in the subsections below.

The SPI Packet structure sent by the Master is shown in Figure 1-3.

Byte 0Byte 1Byte 2Byte 3…Byte n+2Byte n+3
START CHARACTERCommand ByteLength(n)Data[1]…Data[n]Checksum
Figure 1-3 SPI Packet Structure - Master

In Figure 1-3, n stands for number of bytes of Data for the command being transmitted. For example, a backlight command (see Section 3.2.1) will have the following structure:

Byte 1Byte 2Byte 3Byte 4Byte 5
Command Byte = 00n = 2Data[1] = FFData[2] = FFChecksum = 00
Figure 1-4 Example of a Command Packet

The slave will keep sending dummy bytes (0xFF) back to the master for each byte of the command packet. Once the command packet is completely received, the slave prepares a response byte after validating the checksum and the length byte. To receive the response byte, the master should keep sending dummy bytes to the slave till it receives a non-0xFF byte from slave. The first non-0xFF byte from slave will be the response byte.

For a read command the read data follows the response byte and has the structure shown in Figure 1-6, where,

k – This is the time (in bytes) needed by the slave to respond to the master’s request.

m – The number of data bytes returned by the slave. This is also called length and is transmitted as byte k+1.

The number of bytes from k transmitted by slave can vary from minimum of 1 byte (response byte only – in case of write commands, failed read commands) up to 258 (255 data bytes + Response + Length + Checksum) depending on the read command (unless master aborts the command).

Byte k-2Byte k-1Byte kByte k+1Byte k+2…Byte k+m+1Byte k+m+2
0xFF0xFFResponse ByteLength(m)Data[1]…Data[m]Checksum
Figure 1-5 SPI Packet Structure - Slave (Read)

As an example, the slave response to a backlight read command (see Section 3.2.3) is given below:

Byte kByte k+1Byte k+2Byte k+3Byte k+4
Response Byte = 01m = 2Data[0] = FFData[1] = FFChecksum = 01
