Clock Configuration: Verify system clock settings (MCLK and SMCLK) and ensure they match the expected SPI communication rate. Physical Connections: Check that all SPI pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS) are securely connected and there is no loose wire. Interrupt Handling: Ensure SPI interrupts are enabled and properly configured without conflicts. Testing: Test with a working SPI device and use debugging tools to observe the signal lines.By following these steps methodically, you should be able to identify the root cause of the issue and fix it.
