.. zephyr:code-sample:: spi-bitbang
:name: SPI bitbang
:relevant-api: spi_interface
Use the bitbang SPI driver for communicating with a slave.
Overview
********
This sample demonstrates using the bitbang SPI driver. The bitbang driver can
be useful for devices which use a non multiple of 8 word size, for example some
LCDs which have an extra cmd/data bit.
This sample loops through some different spi transfer configurations.
Building and Running
********************
The application will build only for a target that has a :ref:`devicetree
<dt-guide>` entry with :dtcompatible:`zephyr,spi-bitbang` as a compatible.
You can connect the MISO and MOSI pins with a wire to provide a basic loopback
test for receive data.
