Good day,

I have decided to dive head first into Zephyr with a project of mine.

I have a LIS2DH and a W25Q128JV Flash on the same SPI bus, with two GPIOs to control the chip selects. I have a STM32F413VGT6 microcontroller, and the Zephyr version is

However, I am having some trouble. When the FLASH SPI is initialized (in function spi_nor_read_id called by  spi_not_configure) to read the JEDEC ID, the LIS2DH chip select is still not initialised, ie its low, so I have two devices selected at the same time. This results in an incorrect JEDEC ID.

Later when I try to use the LIS2DH, no chip selects are being controlled, leading to a problem in getting data from the LIS2DH.

I cannot find any place in the code where the cs-gpios from the dts file is used. In fact I have been able to ascertain that the chip select list is not initialized with the following test:


At the time the SPI NOR flash is initialised the output from the above function is:
Test0 1
Test1 0x20000f78
Test2 0x20000f84
Test3 0x200050fc,GPIOD
Setting CS End
Test0 0
Test1 0x20000f78
Test2 0x20000f84
Test3 0x200050fc,GPIOD
Setting CS End
(And I can see the NOR Flash chip select activated)

but by the time I want to use the LISD2H, the output is:
Test0 1
Test1 0x20000f5c
Setting CS End
Test0 0
Test1 0x20000f5c
Setting CS End
(No chip select activity since the chip select GPIO list ctx->config->cs is NULL)

I have seen the debate on where chip select control is to be done here:
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/12698 and
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/zephyr/issues/12226
but none of these really helped my to solve my problem.

Here is an extract from my dts file:



Does anyone know of a good working example with multiple Chip selects on a SPI bus where the CS lines are controlled with GPIOs, or can someone point me in the right direction to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.
