Slow SPI transfer on STM32G031K8 nucleo

[jeet55]

so I am interfacing an RGB OLED display (NHD-1.69-160128UGC3). I have set the SPI clock to 32Mhz and I am using HAL drivers. for some reason updating the whole display takes like a second. I am unable to understand why. please someone help me. I have attached my library files below.

From the datasheet:

If you look at the 4-wire SPI timing table (page 12), it shows tCYCS = 100ns (minimum), and if my conversion is correct that means the maximum SPI clock rate is 10MHz.
You're overclocking it!  Try setting the SPI to 10MHz or slower.

I know i am over clocking it. If i select frequency 10mhz and less it just becomes more slow.

Can try turning up the optimizations to see if it’s good enough.  HAL functions are slow compared to direct register access. A oscilloscope would help determine which functions are causing the most delays.

A quick look at your code shows that you're sending pixel data one pixel at a time in dedicated functions, each with a separate SPI frame. That's a LOT of overhead. If you want faster access, you'll need to do things differently, the faster way being to implement some framebuffer and sending whole blocks of pixels in one go through SPI.
