  What is serial peripheral interface? - a definition from Whatis.com - see also: SPI
In a computer, a serial peripheral interface (SPI) is an interface that enables the serial (one bit at a time) exchange of data between two devices, one called a master and the other called a slave.
Serial interfaces have certain advantages over parallel interfaces.
In addition, serial interface cables can be longer than parallel interface cables, because there is much less interaction (crosstalk) among the conductors in the cable.

A third functional block of the 68332, the queued serial module (QSM), processes serial transactions on two channels: The first is the serial communications interface (SCI), which is an on-chip UART; the second is the queued serial peripheral interface (QSPI), a 4-wire synchronous serial bidirectional transfer mechanism.
While a synchronous serial exchange between a CPU and a peripheral is slower than parallel bus communication, the smaller pin package of the synchronous serial periphal demands fewer printed wires and less board space.
Another advantage of the synchronous serial peripheral is that the circuit designer, once having become familiar with such a peripheral device, is able to employ it in various designs without regard to the host microcontroller.

 CAST ECP_SLAVE Extended Capabilities Parallel Port Slave Core
When the host sends data to the peripheral, a transaction in the forward direction is taking place, and when the peripheral is sending data to the host, a reverse data transfer is taking place.
The interface of the core with the peripheral simplifies this operation, by giving the peripheral the impression that reverse transfers are initiated by the host.
The ECP_Slave core handles the task to initiate reverse transfers by requesting a byte from the peripheral every time data is available, so compliance with the IEEE1284 standard is preserved and a convenient interface to the parallel port is provided to the peripheral.
