xfer function

The xfer function initiates a transmit, receive, or exchange transaction. The prototype for this function is:

void *xfer( void *hdl,
            uint32_t device,
            uint8_t *buf,
            int *len );

The arguments are:

hdl

The handle of the low-level module that the init function returned.

device

The device ID.

buf

A pointer to the data buffer for this transaction.

len

A pointer to length, in bytes, of the data for this transaction.

The function must return a pointer to the receive/exchange buffer, and store, in the location that len points to, the byte length of the data that has been transmitted, received, or exchanged by the low-level module. The high-level code checks the length to determine whether the transaction was successful.
