BeagleBone Black Enable SPIDEV

= SPIDEV Interface =

Description
SPI devices have a limited userspace API, supporting basic half-duplex read and write access to SPI slave devices. Using ioctl requests, full duplex transfers and device I/O configuration are also available. #include 	#include 	#include 	#include 	#include  Some reasons you might want to use this programming interface include: Of course there are drivers that can never be written in userspace, because they need to access kernel interfaces (such as IRQ handlers or other layers of the driver stack) that are not accessible to userspace.
 * Prototyping in an environment that's not crash-prone; stray pointers in userspace won't normally bring down any Linux system.
 * Developing simple protocols used to talk to microcontrollers acting as SPI slaves, which you may need to change quite often.

Plug in your BBB to a host computer using the mini usb data cable.
