It sounds as though you need to read more concerning what SPI actually *is*.

Multiple devices can share the same data bus, and only CS( chip select ) needs be different for each device. CS only needs to go high, or low, which hey remarkably is exactly what GPIO pins do ! :) On Wed, Jun 4, 2014 at 7:37 AM, <swapnes...@gmail.com> wrote: > I am trying to run multiple SPI modules (more than the two available on > the BBB) to try and read data from a bunch of accelerometers (LSM303D). > > I was therefore wondering if it would be possible to implement the SPI > module using code (preferably C/C++) on the abundant GPIO pins.
