Description
Hi all,
as the documentation of the Earl Grey design in combination with CW310 doesn't provide much detail of using SPI over USB on a lower level, I hope someone here can provide some useful information.
The target is to send custom data from a different board acting as host to the CW310 SPI device in FW Operation Mode, but it's not clear how to supply outgoing data, so that its written to the RX region of DP-SRAM and can be read by the SPI device.
According to my understanding, data transfer to and from the SPI Device in Earl Grey can only be done via USB involving the SAM3X and no dedicated SPI Port on the CW310 is configured for that, although it seems more straightforward by accessing the SPI pins directly to establish a board-to-board communication.
Any kind of help is appreciated.

Research direction
Start with the Earl Grey and CW310 documentation, then trace the described USB path involving the SAM3X and the SPI device's DP-SRAM regions. Document a verified procedure for sending custom host data in FW Operation Mode, including what constitutes successful receipt by the SPI device.
