SPI Chip Select polarity
I have a SPI device which wants Chip Select to be inverted (low when not in use, high when in use) from "normal" usage. I don't think I'm supposed to share the entire datasheet, but here's a screenshot showing the expected CS level during communications. The device is an Infineon H-Bridge, BTM9021 (The datasheet is for the BTM9010/BTM9011). 
I do not see a way to invert the Chip Select signal during normal use, so I end up with the Chip Select inverted, get no MISO response, and cannot communicate with the chip.
I am aware that it should be possible to implement the Chip Select separately in software, but I haven't figured it out yet. I would appreciate any suggestions on how that could be accomplished.
I also note that polarity control for the SPI chip select doesn't appear to be supported in Waijung 2 either (at least I didn't see it in the documentation -- I haven't used Waijung 2 yet)

Huh -- it looks like I have MOSI and MISO tags reversed on the scope capture above. I must not have been paying attention

Hi David,
Just to confirm, is this issue resolved?
Sincere regards,
