Table 12-6. SPI Signal Connections
Module Pin Names (Function)
SPI Clock.: Connect to peripheral CLK pins
SPI Data Output: Connect to target peripheral MOSI pins
SPI Data Input: Connect to target peripheral MISO pins
SPI Chip Selects.: Connect one CSx* pin per SPI interface to
each target peripheral CS pin on the interface
