I am using STM32H7 family of microcontroller as SPI Master Transmit device which needs to talk to 4 SPI slave devices receive only which are also all STM32H7 MCU's. Both master and slave are configured for software slave management. The confusion is how slave will identify when master wants to talk to it or transmit data to it without using hardware NSS pin? How slave device will start receiving in this scenario and stop receiving when all data transmitted?
If you use software slave select (NSS), you must select and deselect the SPI interface by software.
Typically, you would setup an external interrupt on the pin used as NSS/CS and select/deselect the SPI interface when the interrupt is triggered.
On an STM32F1 chip, the SPI interface is selected/deselected by setting/clearing the SSI bit in the SPI_CR1 register. I assume it's very similar on a STM32H7 chip.
Update
I've just checked the STM32H7 and it's exactly the same.
