NAME

       spi-pipe - full-duplex SPI communication tool.

SYNOPSIS

       spi-pipe options...

DESCRIPTION

       This  program  allows  full-duplex communications, sending data from its standard input to the SPI slave,
       and displaying on its standard output the data received from the SPI port.

       -d, --device=DEVICE
              use the given Linux spidev character device.

       -s, --speed=<int>
              set the target SPI speed for transfer.

       -b, --blocksize=<int>
              set the block size (in bytes) for transfer.

       -n, --number=<int>
              set the number of blocks to transmit (-1 for continuous transfert).

       -h, --help
              display the help screen and exit.

       -v, --version
              display the version number and exit.

EXAMPLES

       Get help:
              $ spi-pipe -h

       Send and receive at the same time
              $ command-1 | spi-pipe --device=/dev/spidev0.0  | command-2
              Note that command-1, command-2 and spi-pipe run simultaneously in three different processes.

       Send data to the SPI link
              $ command-1 | spi-pipe --device=/dev/spidev0.0

       Receive data from the SPI link
              $ spi-pipe --device=/dev/spidev0.0 < /dev/zero | command-2
              You can also use command-2 < /dev/spidev0.0 but with spi-pipe you can control what is sent to  the
              device (always `0` here).

       Read 40 blocks of 4 bytes from the SPI link
              $  spi-pipe --device=/dev/spidev0.0 -b 4 -n 40 < /dev/zero | command-2
