IntroductionEdit

This article shows how to enable the SPI1 and SPI3 (with CS1 chip select) interfaces which can be used in a standard Linux application.

Pin Mux OptionEdit

SPI signals are available at different Naon pins. The configuration described below is dedicated to the NaonEVB-Mid carrier board, which provides the SPI1 and SPI3 signals at the J21 connector (please refer to NaonEVB-Mid wiki page for further details).

The following is the pin multiplexing configuration:

Signal Naon Connector Phisical Pin CPU Ball
SPI1_SCLK J1.34 AC3
SPI1_SCS1n J2.112 W6
SPI1_D0 J1.37 AA6
SPI1_D1 J1.90 AA3
SPI3_SCLK J2.99 AC26
SPI3_SCS1n J2.111 AG27
SPI3_D0 J2.89 V22
SPI3_D1 J2.87 AA25

U-Boot patchEdit

The patches below applies to NELK 4.0.0 and above U-Boot source tree.


The files board/dave/naon/pinmux_evb_mid.h must be modified according to the following patch:

Please note that SPI bus_num values to be used into the naon_spi_slave_info are:

Using the interfacesEdit

Users can access the peripherals connected to the SP1 and SPI3 buses through the spidev interface. For further information, please refer to
