See the "nordic,nrf21540-fem-spi" binding to configure the SPI interface. The SPI interface should be configured as a child node of the SPI bus you have connected to the FEM. Then you "connect" the FEM and SPI configurations using the spi-if property. Here is an example nRF21540 configuration with a SPI interface selected, using the SPIM0 peripheral found on several nRF5 SoCs: &spi0 { compatible = "nordic,nrf-spim"; status = "okay"; cs-gpios = <&gpio1 3 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>; /* ... MISO/MOSI/SCK pin configuration goes here ... */ my_spi_if: nrf21540-spi@0 { compatible = "nordic,nrf21540-fem-spi"; reg = <0>; spi-max-frequency = <8000000>; }; }; nrf_radio_fem: nrf21540 { compatible = "nordic,nrf21540-fem"; tx-en-gpios = <&gpio0 2 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; rx-en-gpios = <&gpio0 5 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>; spi-if = <&my_spi_if>; pdn-gpios = <...>; ant-sel-gpios = <...>; mode-gpios = <...>; /* ... other nRF21540 properties go here ... */ }; &radio { fem = <&nrf_radio_fem>; }; In the above example, the nRF21540 is configured for use with: - TX_EN on P0.2 (from 'tx-en-gpios') - RX_EN on P0.5 (from 'rx-en-gpios') - SPI communication via SPIM0 (the bus, or parent node, of the 'my_spi_if' node - CSN on P1.3 (from index 0 in the bus node's 'cs-gpios' property) You must perform any additional required SPI pin configuration (nRF21540 MISO, MOSI, and SCK pins) within the SPI bus node ('spi0' in the above example). See your SPI node's binding for details on these pin mux properties. You can use any SPI node available in your SoC's devicetree. Configure any other nRF21540 pins as needed using 'pdn-gpios', 'ant-sel-gpios', and 'mode-gpios' properties. If unsure about the format, use 'tx-en-gpios' as an example. Finally, the nRF5 SoC's radio peripheral is set up for use with the nRF21540 via the 'fem' property in the 'radio' node. compatible: "nordic,nrf21540-fem" include: base.yaml properties: tx-en-gpios: type: phandle-array description: | GPIO of the SOC controlling TX_EN pin of the nRF21540 rx-en-gpios: type: phandle-array description: | GPIO of the SOC controlling RX_EN pin of the nRF21540 pdn-gpios: type: phandle-array description: | GPIO of the SOC controlling PDN pin of the nRF21540 ant-sel-gpios: type: phandle-array description: | GPIO of the SOC controlling ANT-SEL pin of the nRF21540 mode-gpios: type: phandle-array description: | GPIO of the SOC controlling MODE pin of the nRF21540 spi-if: type: phandle description: | Reference to the nordic,nrf21540-fem-spi SPI bus interface.
