samples: add SPI master/slave peripheral sample
Add SPI sample with SPIM and SPIS support. Button 2 triggers a master transfer, LED 2 toggles on slave reception. Includes: - SPIM and SPIS initialization and transfer handling - Board configuration with default pin mappings for all supported DKs - Kconfig option for configurable message string - Documentation with wiring guide, pin conflict notes, and testing steps Signed-off-by: Martynas Smilingis <martynas.smilingis@nordicsemi.no>

Overview
36+
********
37+
38+
The sample initializes the **SPIM** and **SPIS** instances with the pins configured in the board's :file:`board-config.h`.
39+
When **Button 2** is pressed, the master sends a configurable string (:kconfig:option:`CONFIG_SAMPLE_SPI_MSG`) to the slave.
40+
The slave receives the data, logs it, and toggles **LED 2**.
41+
42+
User interface
43+
**************
44+
45+
LED 0
46+
Lit when the sample is initialized and ready.
47+
48+
LED 2
49+
Toggles each time the SPI slave completes a reception.
50+
51+
Button 2
52+
Sends a message from the local SPIM to the connected SPIS.
53+
54+
.. _bm_spi_wiring:
55+
56+
Wiring
57+
======
58+
59+
The sample uses the **SPIM** and **SPIS** pins defined in the board's :file:`board-config.h` header (``BOARD_APP_SPIM_*`` and ``BOARD_APP_SPIS_*``).
60+
61+
.. include:: /includes/spi_board_connections.txt
62+
63+
Connect the four SPIM pins to the SPIS pins on the same board, matching each signal by name (SCK→SCK, MOSI→MOSI, MISO→MISO, CSN→CSN).
64+
65+
.. note:: Board-specific behavior
66+
67+
* **nRF54L15 DK** — SPI Master pins overlap with **LED 3** (P1.14, flickers during transfers) and **Button 0** (P1.13, do not press during transfers).
68+
* **nRF54LV10 DK** — The SPI Slave pins (P0.00-P0.03) are shared with one of the debugger's virtual serial ports.
69+
Before running the sample, open the `Board Configurator`_ app in `nRF Connect for Desktop`_ and disable the **Connect port VCOM** entry that is mapped to pins **P0.00-P0.03**, to release these pins from the debugger.
70+
Leave the other **Connect port VCOM** entry (mapped to pins **P1.04-P1.07**) enabled, since it is the virtual serial port used to read the sample's log output.
71+
72+
.. tip:: Two-board setup
73+
74+
If single-board loopback is not supported on your board by default, you can also wire the SPIM signals of one board to the SPIS signals of a second board running the same sample.
75+
In that case, make sure to connect a common **GND** between the two boards and keep the wiring short to avoid signal integrity issues.
76+
77+
Building and running
78+
********************
79+
80+
This sample can be found under :file:`samples/peripherals/spi/` in the |BMshort| folder structure.
81+
82+
For details on how to create, configure, and program a sample, see :ref:`getting_started_with_the_samples`.
83+
84+
Testing
85+
=======
86+
87+
After building and flashing the sample, test it as follows:
88+
89+
1. Connect the four SPIM→SPIS signal pairs on the same board (see :ref:`Wiring <bm_spi_wiring>`).
90+
#. Open the console log and verify that ``SPI sample initialized`` appears in the log.
91+
#. Press **Button 2**.
92+
#. Observe that the log shows a master "sent" entry and a slave "received" entry, both containing the :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_SAMPLE_SPI_MSG` string.
93+
#. Observe that **LED 2** toggles on each completed reception.
