How can we easily implement SPI using Microchip PIC16C5X series devices, using some GPIO. If firmware achievable to implement a slave/master interface. Thanks for everyones input here....!

It was quite easy. You should be able to do the same with your PIC.

At least one (CCS, www.ccsinfo.com) has built in support for SPI master. If the chip as SPI hardware you can target the function for that or use just about any combination of I/O pins. Also look at the Microchip application notes for SPI: http://www.microchip.com/1010/suppdoc/appnote/func/commun/spi/index.htm Rob Young rwyoung@ieee.org
