5.14 - SPI [U12 Datasheet]

Sends and receives data synchronously (SPI). First four bytes sent/received are passed in this call, and copied to the first 4 bytes of RAM buffer (first 4 bytes of RAM transmit buffer are never used). Any additional bytes must be written/read with the RAM. Baud rate with no delay is about 160 kpbs.
