This function is called by a device driver to acquire the SPI lock and restrict the access to the SPI bus only to the wireless driver.

Prototype

Note that since NetDev_WiFi_SPI_Lock() is accessed only by function pointer via a BSP interface structure, it doesn’t need to be globally available and should therefore be declared as ‘static’.

...

Required Configuration

None.

Notes / Warnings

• 1 NetDev_WiFi_SPI_Lock must be implemented if more than one device’s hardware share the same SPI bus.
• 2 Since each network device requires a unique NetDev_WiFi_SPI_Lock(), it is recommended that each device’s NetDev_WiFi_SPI_Lock() function be named using the following convention:

NetDev_WiFi_[Device]SPI_Lock[Number]()
[Device]

...

For example, the NetDev_WiFi_SPI_Lock() function for the #2 RS9110 wireless device on an Atmel AT91SAM9263-EK should be named NetDev_WiFi_RS9110_SPI_Lock2(), or NetDev_WiFi_RS9110_SPI_Lock_2() with additional underscore optional.
