BCM2709 SPI0 Device
The BCM2709 has a single master mode SPI controller that supports 3 wire, 2 wire and LoSSI modes of operation. It also has 2 auxiliary SPI masters which do not support DMA mode (see SPI1/2 below).
The main SPI0 controller supports polled, interrupt and DMA modes and includes 3 chip selects although only CS0 and 1 are available on the 26 or 40 pin header.
By default SPI0 can appear on GPIO pins 7 to 11 (CS1, CS0, MISO, MOSI, SCLK) using alternate function 0 or on GPIO pins 35 to 39 (CS1, CS0, MISO, MOSI, SCLK) using alternate function 0, only pins 7 to 11 are available on the header.
BCM2709 I2C0/1 Device
The BCM2709 has 3 Broadcom Serial Controller (BSC) devices which are fast mode (400Kz) masters numbered BSC0, BSC1 and BSC2.
Device BSC2 is dedicated to the HDMI interface and is not availale for use by the ARM processor. All BSC devices contain a 16 byte FIFO, support 7 bit and 10 bit addressing and have software configurable clock timing.
By default BSC0 can appear on GPIO pins 0 and 1 (Alternate function 0), 28 and 29 (Alternate function 0) or 44 and 45 (Alternate function 1). Unfortunately on all except the Revision 1 models none of these pins are available on the 26 or 40 pin header.
Note: On the Raspberry Pi A+/B+/Zero/2B/3B the ID EEPROM pins on the 40 pin header are actually connected to GPIO 0 and 1 (BSC0)
Device BSC1 can appear on GPIO pins 2 and 3 (Alternate function 0) or 44 and 45 (Alternate function 2) but only pins 2 and 3 are exposed on the 26 or 40 pin header.
