hello:
my board is bf537_stamp, and i use the spi port as a wlan interface,
now i found when my wlan at work, my spi/mmc can't work at all,
can the spi device support wlan/mmc work at the same time?
my hardware HOST MOSI ----------------------------->wlan and spi/mmc miso
MISo ----------------------------->wlan and spi/mmc mosi
SPISSEL1---------------------------->SPI/MMC SSEL
SPISSEL2------------------------------>WLAN SSEL
thanks!!!

Message: 54747 I'm also using an SD/MMC card on the BF537-STAMP. My understanding is that the SD/MMC has to be the only device on the SPI bus for it to work.

Message: 54748 it isnt so much "only on the bus" as "only one in use at one time"
most likely concurrent use of SPI/SD/MMC storage and SPI/WIFI usage will currently get tripped up ... if you manage the time slices in software however, you could probably work around the issue

Message: 54803 Mike:
If both drivers are using the SPI framework properly - it should be OK - but as you indicated - it is likely that they are not using it properly, and don't work.

Message: 54804 SPI/MMC already has a known deficiency where it needs to lock the bus for more than one message in order to communicate properly. the SPI framework currently does not provide for this.

Message: 54914 Dear Mike,
In 08-R1, I saw there are two choices in the "MMC/SD card support" menuconfig:
( ) SPI framework master
(X) Blackfin SPI bus directly
Did you means the driver will not work if I choose "SPI framework master"?
Or both of them should be OK?
Thanks..

Message: 54917 it isnt a mmc driver issue, it's a design/framework issue.
read the configuration help for the options. the latter should work properly, but obviously you cant use any other SPI device. but if you arent using any other SPI device, then the issue in question wont be present anyways, so it's sort of a moot point.
