I wonder whether another term is now more commonly used... the Wikipedia
article uses main/sub, is there a term that is usually used together
with "controller"?
In Wikipedia,
"Historically, this arrangement has been called master/slave. But to
avoid referencing slavery, alternative names discussed in ยง Alternative
namings have been used."
I am not quite sure if main/sub is widely used, but in latest Linux,
still use master/slave but master is gradually replaced by "controller".
So I think "controller" here does make sense. What is your suggestion?
"controller" is fine, I'm just wondering if "slave" has started to be
replaced with something else as well... if it hasn't, we probably need
to stick with it to avoid confusing readers.
slave is still being used, but it's better to be used along with "master".
Here I prefer using "SPI peripherals" instead of "SPI slaves". Looking
forward to your advice. Thank you so much.
Best Regards
