Hi all
I'm working on an IMX6Q based product whose hardware very similar (though not identical) to the SabreSD. As the board is based on SabreSD I have been altering the Yocto (Fido, linux-imx kernel version 3.14.28) MX6Q SabreSD files to get the system working. I have added drivers (networking etc) and made adaptations to the imx6qdl-sabresd.dtsi file. So far I have successfully built the "fsl-image-multimedia-full" image and can login to the system via serial comms and ssh. My build host is an x86 Ubuntu 15 system.
Presently, I'm trying to get the SPI bus (ecspi2) to talk to an external device using the SPIDEV device. I have added the SPIDEV device information into the imx6qdl-sabresd.dtsi file (see below) and enabled spidev in the linux kernel (see below). Following build cycle, a device file is built and I tested it using the spidev_test.c program provided in the kernel source (Documentation/spi/spidev_test.c). I receive the following output (always the same output no matter what command line switches I give it):
root@imx6qsabresd:~# ./spidev_test -D /dev/spidev1.0
can't set spi mode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
Aborted
Viewing the SPI signals on a scope I see none of the signals toggling (SCLK stays low, MISO, MOSI, CS stay high). The above results lead me to suspect that my SPI settings are wrong.
I have searched the IMX forum and tried suggestions that I've seen on the web regarding making changes to the .dtsi file. Sadly none of these suggestions have moved me forward. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for these issues.
Please could anyone in the community suggest what settings need to be changed/what they should be?
Thanks in advance

I've included as much detail below as I think might be needed to make a prognosis.

// add spidev driver
