Hi all,

  I am trying to get the spi_test application to work on my bf548 ezkit.  I have enabled the "User mode SPI device driver support" under the SPI support in the kernel config.  I also enabled the spi_test program in the application settings.  When uClinux boots up I get spidev0.1 in my /dev directory. I then run the spi_test program and got the following output.

./spi_test -r 32 /dev/spidev0.1

/dev/spidev0.1: spi mode 0, 8 bits per word, 3125000 Hz max

read(32, 32): ff ff, ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

./spi_test -m 32 /dev/spidev0.1

/dev/spidev0.1: spi mode 0, 8 bits per word, 3125000 Hz max

response(32, 33):  ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff

When I run this program I would expect to see activity on SCK1, MISO1, or MOSI1 but I do not.  I am looking at these signals on the spi header and I have also made sure to connect jumper 2.  I have spent some time looking at the board config file as well as the source for the spi_test program and couldn't identify any problems.  Am I missing anything?

Thanks

the format is <bus>.<cs>, not <cs>.<bus> ... so /dev/spidev0.1 means you're using CS1 on SPI0 ...
