Hello , I Have defined
uint8_t B31_B24=0b00000011;
as the command i want to send to my DAC But when i do
SPIDRV_MTransmitB(handle, B31_B24, 8);
it gives me an error of SPIDRV_MTransmitB' makes pointer from integer without a cast. Where did i go wrong?
Thanks

You can lead them to ... but you can't make them ...

http://devtools.silabs.com/dl/documentation/doxygen/5.7/efr32mg12/html/group__SPIDRV.html
C:
#include "spidrv.h"

SPIDRV_HandleData_t handleData;
SPIDRV_Handle_t handle = &handleData;

void TransferComplete(SPIDRV_Handle_t handle,
                      Ecode_t transferStatus,
                      int itemsTransferred)
{
  if (transferStatus == ECODE_EMDRV_SPIDRV_OK) {
   // Success !
  }
}

int main(void)
{
  uint8_t buffer[10];
  SPIDRV_Init_t initData = SPIDRV_MASTER_USART2;

  // Initialize an SPI driver instance.
  SPIDRV_Init(handle, &initData);

  // Transmit data using a blocking transmit function.
  SPIDRV_MTransmitB(handle, buffer, 10);

  // Transmit data using a callback to catch transfer completion.
  SPIDRV_MTransmit(handle, buffer, 10, TransferComplete);
}

Hello, i am confused regarding the pointer issues in the commands bellow.
Did i define the uint data correctly for SPIDRV_MTransmitB and SPIDRV_MReceiveB?
so my recieved data will be stored as uint in Recieved_D ,and the data in B&_B0 will be transferred.
For SENDING:
given uint8_t B7_B0=0b11110000; i want to send it threw my SPIDRV.
SPIDRV_MTransmitB(handle, &B7_B0, 1);

For recieving:
GPIO_PinOutClear(LED_PORT_A,2);
SPIDRV_MReceiveB(handle,&Recieved_D,4);
GPIO_PinOutSet(LED_PORT_A,2);

Thanks.

It almost makes me cry when I look inside spidrv.h and see how they've f'd up typedefs... idiots don't know how to correctly define a type! And they certainly don't understand what a Handle actually is.... *sigh* More Hand to Face.

Hello BobaMosfet,I have found a post from 2019 with a very similar problem to mine.
I am to trying to use SPIDRV in MANUAL CS MODE.
Shown in the link bellow.
IN the last post the author says that he managed to solve it by changing
dmadrive.h as shown bellow.
My case is Using SPIDRV for a single DAC device I USED USART with PORT E connected to the DAC except one pin wich is port A.

So my question is: If the author is correct.to what value of EMDRV_DMADRV_DMA_CH_PRIORITY i should set it?
Because it gives me a very series warning as shown in the end.
Thanks.

After a lot of trial and error, testing out different things, I finally determined that the dmadrv configuration was the problem. The #define EMDRV_DMADRV_DMA_CH_PRIORITY defaulted to 0. According to the comments in dmadrv_config.h:
