spidev

Former Member over 10 years ago

Is spidev enabled for RIoT? I have a mikroBUS SPI peripheral and would like to use it on the Adaptor board via spidev. Bit-banging is the backup option.

spidev is not enabled by default.
it needs to be manually enabled at "CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV" in menuconfig.

Thanks. I was hoping for a device tree overlay to apply at runtime, but if building a kernel is required then bit-bang it is.

For what it's worth I'm using the out-of-the-box Android build with ro.build.id=1.0.0-rc2 and
ro.build.version.incremental=20131108

Click ADC. I'm using the supplied code that bit-bangs, but noticed the other platform uses spidev so was curious to try that on Riot.

@tushar - that'll be good to have spidev out-of-the box

@adroid - thanks but I'm not interested in building my own kernel

As for my status, I already have bit-bang running on Click ADC. It's good enough for what I need, though spidev is of course a cleaner approach.

@tushar has this been implemented yet? I am interested in using the thermoclick over SPI interface. If this has not been implemented how can I enable it myself?
