Forum Post: RE: Opening SPI interface on Sitara

I Just enabled the CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV by adding "CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV=y" to the kernel/arch/arm/configs/am335x_evm_defconfig.

I also added the spidev in the board info file board-am355xevm.c:

Thereafter i did a "make clean" followed by a "make TARGET_PRODUCT=am335xevm_sk OMAPES=4.x -j1" and a "make TARGET_PRODUCT=am335xevm_sk OMAPES=4.x -j1 sdcard_build"

When I boot the device there is no /dev/spidev devices yet, but the following can be read from dmesg:

root@android:/ # dmesg | grep spi                                              

<4>[    0.193786]  omap2_mcspi.1: alias fck already exists

<4>[    0.193908]  omap2_mcspi.2: alias fck already exists

root@android:/ # 

Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

Kind regards

Jesper
