Hi Robert, Though I managed to enable the spi interface on my BB. I have following questions/information:
1) I have following urls in /etc/apt/sources.list THESE WERE EARLIER IN THE BBB #deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ raring main universe multiverse #deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ raring main universe multiverse #deb http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ raring-updates main universe multiverse #deb-src http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/ raring-updates main universe multiverse THESE I COPIED FROM THE link IN ORDER TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise-security main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner deb http://extras.ubuntu.com/ubuntu precise main THESE I COPIED FROM MY DESKTOP #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise main restricted universe multiverse #deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security main restricted universe multiverse #deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-update main restricted universe multiverse NONE OF THEM WORKS, DO TELL ME WHAT ARE THE RIGHT URLS 2) I could see these two files in /dev/spidev1.0 and /dev/spidev1.1 . Though I configures for the spi0 channel I think it should be like spidev0.0 and spidev0.1 3) In order to check if I have configured the spidev correctly, I copied a file from here http://osdir.com/ml/beagleboard/2013-05/msg00813.html NOW WHEN I compile it using gcc -c spidev_test.c It gives error like /usr/include/libio.h:334:3: error: unknown type name ‘size_t’ /usr/include/libio.h:338:67: error: ‘size_t’ undeclared here (not in a function) /usr/include/libio.h:366:62: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘size_t’ /usr/include/libio.h:375:6: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘size_t’ /usr/include/libio.h:497:19: error: expected ‘=’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘asm’ or ‘__attribute__’ before ‘_IO_sgetn’ In file included from spidev_test.c:9:0: /usr/include/stdio.h:320:35: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘size_t’ /usr/include/stdio.h:326:47: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘size_t’ Am I am compiling using wrong options ? Do tell me the correct one. *Best Regards,* *Amit Sama* *Pursuing** M.Sc.
