Hello All,

I just started to use BBB a couple days. My goal is trying to test the 
connection between the BBB and the Arduino over SPI. 
I did some research on the internet and and borrow some of the code just to 
see if the result is the same as I expect. 
1) I make sure the SPI pins of the BBB is working by using the spidev_test.c 
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/raspberrypi/linux/rpi-3.10.y/Documentation/spi/spidev_test.c>
 and 
the result as below:
sedf

 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
 0x40, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x95,
 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF,
 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xBA, 0xAD,
 0xF0, 0x0D,


2) So, I tried to send to the Arduino some bytes and expected that the Arduino 
would show the result on the Serial Monitor. However, the Aruino seems not to 
get the correct the message.
I'm not sure the voltage difference between Arduino and BBB has anything to do 
with this. 

Please see the code for the BBB and The BBB below: 
Arduino: I looked at Nick Gammon blog and started to follow his example to make 
Arduino as slave
//this code is written by by Nick Gammon
#include <SPI.h>
char buf [100];
volatile byte pos;
volatile boolean process_it;

void setup (void)
{
  Serial.begin (9600);   // debugging

  // have to send on master in, *slave out*
  pinMode(MISO, OUTPUT);
  
  // turn on SPI in slave mode
  SPCR |= _BV(SPE);
  
  // get ready for an interrupt 
  pos = 0;   // buffer empty
  process_it = 0; 

  // now turn on interrupts 
  SPI.attachInterrupt();

}  // end of setup


// SPI interrupt routine
ISR (SPI_STC_vect)
{
char c = SPDR;  // grab byte from SPI Data Register
  
  // add to buffer if room
  if (pos < sizeof buf)
    {
    buf [pos++] = c;
    Serial.println(buf[pos],HEX);
    // example: newline means time to process buffer
    if (c == 0x04)
      process_it = 1;
      
    }  // end of room available
}  // end of interrupt routine SPI_STC_vect

// main loop - wait for flag set in interrupt routine
void loop (void)
{
  if (process_it == 1)
    {
    buf [pos] = 0;
    Serial.println("SPI");  
    Serial.println (buf);
    pos = 0;
    process_it = 0;
    }  // end of flag set
    
}  // end of loop

        ret = ioctl(fd,SPI_IOC_RD_BITS_PER_WORD,&bits);
        if(ret<0){
                perror("SPI_IOC_RD_BITS_PER_WORD");}

        ret = ioctl(fd,SPI_IOC_WR_MAX_SPEED_HZ,&speed);
        if(ret<0){
                perror("SPI_IOC_WR_MAX_SPEED_HZ");}

        ret = ioctl(fd,SPI_IOC_RD_MAX_SPEED_HZ,&speed);
        if(ret<0){
                perror("SPI_IOC_RD_MAX_SPEED_HZ");}

        write_data(fd); // send data

        usleep(100*1000);
        close(fd);
        return 0;
}
Any comment/suggestion/answer would help.  If I write anything wrong, please 
feel free to point it out.
Also, this is first time I ask question online and join a forum.
Thank you.
