[SOLVED] STM32F4 : EEPROM 25LC256 management through SPI

I am trying to drive a EEPROM Chip 25LC256 with a STM32F469I-DISCO but can't achieve it. I have tried to make my own function with HAL API bases but apparently something is wrong : I don't know if I write datas on the chip since I can't read it. Let me explain more.

So my chip is a DIP 25LC256 (DS is above is you wish). PINs HOLD and WP of EEPROM are tied to VCC (3.3V). PIN CS is connected to PH6 (ARD_D10 on board) and is managed by the software. PIN SI and PIN SO are respectively connected to PB15 (ARD_D11) and PB14 (ARD_D12) with the right alternate function (GPIO_AF5_SPI2). PIN SCK is also connected to PD3 (ADR_D13).

Here is my SPI configuration code :

EEPROM_StatusTypeDef ConfigurationSPI2(SPI_HandleTypeDef *spi2Handle){

  __HAL_RCC_GPIOB_CLK_ENABLE();
  __HAL_RCC_GPIOD_CLK_ENABLE();
  __HAL_RCC_GPIOH_CLK_ENABLE();

  GPIO_InitTypeDef  gpioInit;

  ////  SCK [PD3]
  gpioInit.Pin =    GPIO_PIN_3;
  gpioInit.Mode =   GPIO_MODE_AF_PP;
  gpioInit.Pull =   GPIO_PULLDOWN;
  gpioInit.Speed =  GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_HIGH;
  gpioInit.Alternate = GPIO_AF5_SPI2;

  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOD, &gpioInit);

  //// MOSI [PB15]
  gpioInit.Pin =    GPIO_PIN_15;
  gpioInit.Pull =   GPIO_PULLUP;
  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &gpioInit);

  //// MISO [PB14]
  gpioInit.Pin =    GPIO_PIN_14;
  gpioInit.Pull =   GPIO_NOPULL;
  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOB, &gpioInit);

  //// CS [PH6]
  gpioInit.Pin =    GPIO_PIN_6;
  gpioInit.Mode =   GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT_PP;
  gpioInit.Speed =  GPIO_SPEED_FREQ_HIGH;
  HAL_GPIO_Init(GPIOH, &gpioInit);
  HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, GPIO_PIN_SET);

  //// SPI2

  __HAL_RCC_SPI2_CLK_ENABLE();

  spi2Handle->Instance = SPI2;

  spi2Handle->Init.Mode =               SPI_MODE_MASTER;
  spi2Handle->Init.Direction =          SPI_DIRECTION_2LINES;
  spi2Handle->Init.DataSize =           SPI_DATASIZE_8BIT;
  spi2Handle->Init.CLKPolarity =        SPI_POLARITY_LOW;
  spi2Handle->Init.CLKPhase =           SPI_PHASE_1EDGE;
  spi2Handle->Init.NSS =                SPI_NSS_SOFT;
  spi2Handle->Init.BaudRatePrescaler =  SPI_BAUDRATEPRESCALER_16;
  spi2Handle->Init.FirstBit =           SPI_FIRSTBIT_MSB;
  spi2Handle->Init.TIMode =             SPI_TIMODE_DISABLE;
  spi2Handle->Init.CRCCalculation =     SPI_CRCCALCULATION_DISABLE ;
  spi2Handle->Init.CRCPolynomial =      7;

  if(HAL_SPI_Init(spi2Handle) != HAL_OK){
      return EEPROM_ERROR;
  }

  return EEPROM_OK;
}

And two functions allowing respectively (and theorically) to WRITE and READ into the the chip :

Write Function :

EEPROM_StatusTypeDef WriteEEPROM(SPI_HandleTypeDef *spi2Handle, uint8_t *txBuffer, uint16_t size, uint16_t addr){

    uint8_t addrLow = addr & 0xFF;
    uint8_t addrHigh = (addr >> 8);

    uint8_t wrenInstruction = WREN_EEPROM; // Value : 0x06

    uint8_t buffer[32] = {WRITE_EEPROM, addrHigh, addrLow}; //Value : 0x02

    for(uint i = 0 ; i < size ; i++){
        buffer[3+i] = txBuffer[i];
    }

    HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, RESET);
    if(HAL_SPI_Transmit(spi2Handle, &wrenInstruction, 1, TIMEOUT_EEPROM) != HAL_OK){
        return EEPROM_ERROR;;
    }
    HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, SET);

    HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, RESET);
    if(HAL_SPI_Transmit(spi2Handle, buffer, (size + 3), TIMEOUT_EEPROM) != HAL_OK){
        return EEPROM_ERROR;
    }
    HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, SET);

    return EEPROM_OK;
}

Read Function :

EEPROM_StatusTypeDef ReadEEPROM(SPI_HandleTypeDef *spi2Handle, uint8_t *rxBuffer, uint16_t size, uint16_t addr){

    uint8_t addrLow = addr & 0xFF;
    uint8_t addrHigh = (addr >> 8);
    uint8_t txBuffer[3] = {READ_EEPROM, addrHigh, addrLow};

    HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, RESET);

    HAL_SPI_Transmit(spi2Handle, txBuffer, 3, TIMEOUT_EEPROM);

    HAL_SPI_Receive(spi2Handle, rxBuffer, size, TIMEOUT_EEPROM);    

    HAL_GPIO_WritePin(GPIOH, GPIO_PIN_6, SET);

    return EEPROM_OK;
}

I know my function are not very "beautiful" but it was a first attempt. In my main, I have tried in the first place to write into the chip the data "0x05" at the 0x01 adress then to read this data back :

uint8_t bufferEEPROM[1] = {5};
uint8_t bufferEEPROM2[1] = {1};

WriteEEPROM(&spi2Handle, bufferEEPROM, 1, 0x01);
ReadEEPROM(&spi2Handle, bufferEEPROM2, 1, 0x01);

I have an oscilloscope so since it didn't work (monitoring with STM Studio) I visualized the CLK and SI PINs then CLK and SO PINs (can only see two channel at the same time) :

As you can see, with the first picture that shows CLK (yellow) and SI (or MOSI) in blue, I have all the data expected : The WRite ENable instruction then the WRITE instruction. Following the ADDRESS, then the DATA.

After that, the Read Function starts. First the READ instruction and the ADDRESS where I want to fetch the data. The last 8 bits are supposed to be the data stored at the address (0x01 in this case). Something happens on SI PIN but I guess this is because the HAL_SPI_Receive() function actually calls HAL_SPI_TransmitReceive() with my array bufferEEPROM2 as parameter (that's why we can se 0b00000001). And so it is because of my SPI configuration parameter (Full-duplex).

Anyway, theorically I am supposed to see 0b00000101 on SO PIN but as you can see in the second picture.... nothing.

I have tried to change gpioInit.Pull for SO PIN on PULLUP and PULLDOWN but nothing changed. NOPULL is because that's the last thing I have tried.

The thing is I don't know where to start. My transmission seems to work (but is it actually ?). Is there anything wrong with my initialization ? Acutally my main question would be : why I don't receive any data from my EEPROM ?

Many thanks !
