Recompiling the kernel won't be necessary -- try this: http://www.tnhh.net/posts/unbricking-chromebook-with-beaglebone.html
Relevant part: "I have a trick that is not mentioned in the wiki to save you from the agony of re-compiling the freaking kernel just to get the spidev working. Instead of defining compatible = "linux,spidev";, in the dts file, you can define compatible = "rohm,dh2228fv";." Let me know if you have any questions on getting this to work. It worked for a while but when I pulled everything apart and tried again, and I got stuck. Nonetheless I have committed the steps to memory at this point :P On 03/12/16 14:06, dch wrote: > Hello, > > I can't seem to get spidev working on my Beaglebone black, and I think it's > an issue with the kernel. > Can anyone send me a compiled kernel where SPI works, and/or a kernel .config? > > Thanks > >
