Looking much better:
# ls -l /dev/*spi*
crw------- 1 root root 153, 0 Jan 10 13:51 /dev/spidev0.0
#
I added an spidev childnode to my spi1 node like so:
spi1: spi@01c06000 {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_pins_a>;
status = "okay";
spidev@0 {
compatible = "linux,spidev";
reg = <0>;
spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
};
};
Rebuild, reboot and what would you know...... I have " /dev/spidev0.0"
Really can't thank you guys enough for all the help, much appreciated!!!!
next stop.....connecting an SPI device ....hopefully without too many
sparks :)
I'm connecting an MPU9250:

Guessing the "compatible" string will just be spi?
