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.

SPI1 D0 Output and D1 Input
NOTE: an option is available to swap the MISO/MOSI pins using the device tree entry. to enable the pin swap change the feature section by adding “ti,pindir-d0-out-d1-in" property and changing the default pin mux for the two data pins

Then, copy the file into /lib/firmware/: cp BB-SPI0-01-00A0.dtbo /lib/firmware/ Then enable the device tree overlay: echo BB-SPI0-01 > /sys/devices/bone_capemgr.*/slots

Make sure it is enabled You should now have two spidev-files in the folder /dev/ ls -al /dev/spidev0.* You should also be able to see the pingroups: cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pingroups

You can also try to run a loopback test with beaglebone. Here is an example with loopback on SPI1 bus:

1. Short pins 29 and 30 on the P9 connector (power supply side on the board).

2. Apply the following diff to the kernel: diff --git a/drivers/spi/spidev.c b/drivers/spi/spidev.c index 911e9e0..622adf5 100644 --- a/drivers/spi/spidev.c +++ b/drivers/spi/spidev.c @@ -646,6 +646,7 @@ static int spidev_remove(struct spi_device *spi) static const struct of_device_id spidev_dt_ids[] = { { .compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv" }, +      { .compatible = "linux,spidev" }, {}, };

3. Run the spidev_test program (sources in kernel/Documentation/spi), the following is a typical log: bash-4.2# /spidev_test -D /dev/spidev1.0 spi mode: 0 bits per word: 8 max speed: 500000 Hz (500 KHz)
