    Hi,

    I am doing a project which needs one spi out and it will be connected to a slave chip,. My board is pandaboard, and I compiled uboot and 3.2 linux kernel, now it is working. But the problem now is when I went to the file of Boad_omap4panda.c under the folder arch/arm/mach-omap2, and did the following changes, there is no /dev/spi things like that meaning that I am not able to access it. Could someone help me ?? thanks

    #include <plat/mcspi.h>
    #include <linux/spi/spi.h>
    static struct spi_board_info panda_spi_board_info[] __initdata = { 
    {
    .modalias = "testtttt",
    .bus_num = 1,
    .chip_select = 0,
    .max_speed_hz = 24000000,
    .mode = SPI_MODE_1,
    .irq = -1,

    },
    };
    
    
    spi_register_board_info(panda_spi_board_info, 
    ARRAY_SIZE(panda_spi_board_info)); //this function is called in the omap4_panda_init
    SPI

      To get a /dev/spi device, you'll also need to enable the generic SPI driver in the kernel configuration, look for "CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV".
