Sorry for this newbie question, but regarding the SPI and the UART
peripherals , I don't see what is the interest, the use of the SSP
peripheral ?

Thanks

Think of SSP as an enhanced SPI peripheral.  It has more configuration
options than a standard SPI peripheral, making it useful for those
times you'd otherwise have to bit-bang.

Friendly amendment,

also the SSP can be clocked faster up to CPU/2, has a FIFO and is
flexible in data length 4bit up to 16-bit. The question could rather
be, what is the SPI still there for ;-)
