Crenn: Understandable. I should already have the page numbers but if you send me the ones you think I should look at it might help me identify what I'm doing wrong.
Josheeg: My other device would be another Leaf Maple so yes it will generate a clock. I'm trying to setup several such that they can communicate with each other. The problem is that SPI slave mode isn't currently supported as Crenn pointed out so I have been trying to code it myself.
Poslathian: Thanks for bumping this up but it's not really a big deal. I'm just trying to get more familiar with cortex m3 development and hey I would be thrilled to be able to contribute back to the project.
