## General Instructions
The ENC424J600 Ethernet controller module supports operation in one of the following interfaces: Serial Peripheral Interace (SPI), or Parallel Slave Port (PSP). This Rust library currently only supports the use of SPI for STM32F4xx microcontrollers.
The ENC424J600 Ethernet controller module supports operation in one of the following interfaces: Serial Peripheral Interace (SPI), or Parallel Slave Port (PSP). This Rust library supports the use of SPI for all embedded systems compatible with the Rust [`embedded-hal`](https://crates.io/crates/embedded-hal) crate.
On ENC424J600, the **INTn/SPISEL** pin is multiplexed with an **interrupt function** (INTn) and an **interface selection function** (SPISEL). During power-up, to select SPI as the interface, INTn/SPISEL needs to latch a logic high for 1-10 us, driven outside of ENC424J600. After ENC424J600 has been initialsed, the same pin can be used to indicate occurrence of interrupt with a logic low, or idling with a logic high, driven by ENC424J600. Therefore, on the microcontroller side, the mode of driving the pin should be chosen by design: it should be **tri-stated** if interrupt is enabled, or **push-pull** otherwise.
To help facilitate the user, we provide a [`nix-shell`](https://nixos.org/nixos/nix-pills/developing-with-nix-shell.html#idm140737320154096) environment and a set of Shell scripts to perform certain tasks, such as creating a ready-to-use [`tmux`](https://github.com/tmux/tmux/wiki) session for debugging an STM32 microcontroller, as well as compiling and running STM32-based examples.
### Instructions for STM32F407 Examples
These examples assume that the **SPI1** port is connected to the Ethernet module, and the **GPIO PA1** pin is connected to its SPISEL pin. Since no interrupts are involved, GPIO PA1 is configured as a **push-pull** output to only initialise the controller. The program output is logged via ITM stimulus port 0.

3. When the `tmux` session is ready, on the top-right pane, compile and run the example program:
```sh
