unit_tests/mxc_spi_test1.out on iMX53 QSB

[NeilSimpson]

Has anyone tried using /unit_tests/mxc_spi_test.out to test out the SPI port(s) on the MX53 quicki start board?  Although the CSPI seems to be configured I get an error "cannot open the device" for all SPI device numbers I try.

Hello,

I'm stuck on the same problem.

/unit_tests/mxc_spi_test1.out -D 1 -b 16 1
Execute data transfer test: 1 1 1
Error:cannot open device (Maybe not present in your board?)

I don't see spi device in /dev/ although I added the driver during the kernel compilation.
How can I add the device?
Any news?

Is there a SPI1.0 or spi_dev1.0 in the /dev directory.

I am in the process of building a kernel that gets spi to appear in /dev. Let me know if you have already figured out how to get that working.
