Abstract

Example embodiments relate to low-overhead, bidirectional error checking for a serial peripheral interface. An example device includes an integrated circuit. The device also includes a serial peripheral interface (SPI) with a Master In Slave Out (MISO) channel and a Master Out Slave In (MOSI) channel. The MOSI channel is configured to receive a write address, payload data, and a forward error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. The integrated circuit is configured to calculate and provide a reverse error-checking code usable to identify data corruption within the write address or the payload data. Additionally, the integrated circuit is configured to compare the forward error-checking code to the reverse error-checking code. Further, the integrated circuit is configured to write, to the write address if the forward error-checking code matches the reverse error-checking code, the payload data.
