Hi Andrew,

TI uses other verification boards (which have much more debug functionality
than the EVMs) to test silicon features. There is also internal software
designed to test all functional aspects of a module. AFAIK, these boards and
software are not publicly available though.

Can you try Sandeep's latest SPI patch posted to the list[1] and see if it works
for you? If you provide debug information you can surely get help from this 
list.

You could also contact your local FAE for more focused help.

Thanks,
Sekhar
