Background:
I am trying to communicate over the SPI pins on the ls1012a Freedom board. I have added entries to the device tree and verified that they are being used. The spidev devices are listed under /dev on the ls1012a-frdm and the spidev kernel module is being loaded (as indicated by the /dev/spidev* entries). I'm using the Qoriq SDK v2.0 with the 1703 patch
At this point I suspect that there is an issue with the RCW and the ls1012a pins used for SPI communication to the Arduino headers are not configured correctly. It seems that SDHC2_BASE_DAT321 & SDHC2_BASE_BASE should be set to 11 for SPI but are not.
Additionally, it seems that rcw repo from git://git.freescale.com/ppc/sdk/rcw.git does not contain the source for the ls1012a-frdm RCW binary.
Questions:
- Is the current RCW as reported by u-boot correct?
- Is there any plan to make the ls1012a RCW source code available in the public repo?
- Is there a way to read out the RCW configuration on the chip after Linux has booted?
Thanks to anyone who can assist,
- Patrick
