Hans,
My most gracious thanks. I should have asked sooner. I am kicking
myself for spending 2 days doing what you had already done, and you
had it working.
The patch builds, and I see /dev/spi when I run the system.
My test program fails to open /dev/spi. Do you have a small test or
example you can share? Is there anything special about using the SPI?
Thanks,
Doug
