Issues with SPI on iMX7 Sabre Board

Issues with SPI on iMX7 Sabre Board

[Kai Che]

Hi all,

I'm trying to communicate with SPI in barebox on the MC iMX7 Sabre Board.

I added the options in my barebox config:

CONFIG_SPI=y
CONFIG_CMD_SPI=y

But there is no SPI bus when I try to communicate with:

barebox@Freescale i.MX7 SabreSD Board:/ spi 0x1
spi bus 0 not found
spi: No such device
   
Could someone please tell me if a SPI driver exists for the iMX7 Sabre Board?

Thanks a lot,

Kai

How about CONFIG_DRIVER_SPI_IMX?

Please keep the barebox mailing list <barebox@lists.infradead.org> in CC.

Nothing? It appears barebox reports SPI buses now unlike before.

The MISO is driven by the slave. You sure it's wired up correctly?
Can you short MISO and MOSI and check if you can receive what's transmitted?

chip select is usually active low. Does the chip select change at all?

I haven't used SPI in barebox before. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in,
but that's what I could think of.
