Enable SPI driver for SAM9X5 Board
 
Question
How to enable SPI driver for the SAM9X5 board?
Answer

MYIR's SAM9X5 board has not enabled SPI driver by default. If you want to use, you need to enable SPI driver when compiling the kernel. Please follow below steps:


1. Open menuconfig

$ make ARCH=arm myir_MYD-SAM9X5_4.3lcd_defconfig
$ make menuconfig

2. Please find the item "Support most SPI Flash chips (AT26DF, M25P, W25X, ...)", i.e. "CONFIG_MTD_M25P80" as in below location and open it.

-> Device Drivers
  |       -> Memory Technology Device (MTD) support (MTD [=y])              |  
  |         -> Self-contained MTD device drivers    

Press space twice to open it:

3. Re-compile the kernel

$ make ARCH=arm uImage CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/local/arm-2010q1/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-


4. The SPI driver will be shown after the board booted under the path "/dev/mtd4


5. Please download below test program for using the SPI linux driver which can be used for the MYD-SAM9X5 and MYS-SAM9X5 boards.
