Commit Message

Chalapathi V May 15, 2024, 5:41 p.m. UTC
In this commit SPI shift engine and sequencer logic is implemented.
Shift engine performs serialization and de-serialization according to the
control by the sequencer and according to the setup defined in the
configuration registers. Sequencer implements the main control logic and
FSM to handle data transmit and data receive control of the shift engine.

  * This model Supports a connection to a single SPI responder.
