STM32VLDiscovery - SPI read and display of data

Hello all,

I am quite new to STM32 programing. But i need it for my project.
I am going to transfer data from an accelerometer to STM32VLdiscovery board via SPI. Now I have the code written and uploaded without any error shown.

But I still can not see the data from the accelerometer in real time, even when I am going to the debugging mode and turning on the debug viewer. Where am I doing it wrong?

I also like to save the data into a log file. How do I do that?

I would be glad to get some help from you.

As not all edaboard.com users have a crystal ball at hand - perhaps it'll be a good idea to post your code...

Oh I am sorry..I thought that the code file was uploaded! Obviously it wasn't! But here the code that has been written for reading of the SPI. I just connot figure out where and how to display the data from the SPI. I am newbie in STM32 programming.

//Code

#include "stm32f10x_conf.h"
#include "spi.h"
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;
NVIC_InitTypeDef NVIC_InitStructure;
SPI_InitTypeDef SPI_InitStructure;

SystemInit();

RCC_APB2PeriphClockCmd(RCC_APB2Periph_GPIOA | RCC_APB2Periph_AFIO | RCC_APB2Periph_SPI1, ENABLE);

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_5 | GPIO_Pin_7;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF_PP;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_6;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_IN_FLOATING;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_4;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_Out_PP;
GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;
GPIO_Init(GPIOA, &GPIO_InitStructure);

GPIO_WriteBit(GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_4, 1);

NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannel = SPI1_IRQn;
NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelPreemptionPriority = 0;
NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelSubPriority = 0;
NVIC_InitStructure.NVIC_IRQChannelCmd = ENABLE;
NVIC_Init(&NVIC_InitStructure);

SPI_InitStructure.SPI_BaudRatePrescaler = SPI_BaudRatePrescaler_32;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_CPHA = SPI_CPHA_2Edge;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_CPOL = SPI_CPOL_High;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_CRCPolynomial = 0;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_DataSize = SPI_DataSize_8b;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_Direction = SPI_Direction_2Lines_FullDuplex;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_FirstBit = SPI_FirstBit_MSB;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_Mode = SPI_Mode_Master;
SPI_InitStructure.SPI_NSS = SPI_NSS_Soft;
SPI_Init(SPI1, &SPI_InitStructure);

SPI_I2S_ITConfig(SPI1, SPI_I2S_IT_RXNE, ENABLE);

SPI_Cmd(SPI1, ENABLE);

// EXAMPLE
spi_create(SPI1, GPIOA, GPIO_Pin_4);

while(1) {
spi_read();

}
}
