Actually if you use version 4 of the FPGA core a programmable SPI
interface is supported.  I modified the core to use different I/Os for
Chip select #2 and #3.  Specifically I changed the FPGA to use DIO 21
for CS #2 and DIO 22 for CS#3.  This allows me to use the FPGA SPI
interface to read the TS-752 temperature sensor in approximately 2 usec
with the following 5 instructions (works beautifully). You can still bit
bang to get the data (as in the sbus.c gettemp() routine but this takes
significantly longer.

        sbus_poke16(0x40, (0 << 14) | (15 << 10) | (3 << 8));
        sbus_poke16(0x4c, 0x8000);
        val = sbus_peek16(0x42) >> 3;
        if((val & 0x1000) != 0) val=((~(val & 0xfff) & 0xfff) + 1);
        temperature = (float) val * 62500.0 / 1000000.0;

Modifying CS#2 to use DIO 21 allows for the interface of another spi
device via the 20 pin header.
I suggest looking at the latest ts-75xx/tsa-4500 document (published Feb
2010) and the fpga open core source code.  Utilizing the free fpga
devlopment software is a bit of a learning curve but well worth it.  I
think TS's decision to use the opencore framework for the 7500 is rather
cool.

Good luck,
Greg
