Thank you, Geert.

Now I am able to create /dev/spidev1.1 and open it from the test code
in Documents/spi.

Now I am not able to see any activity on the hardware, even though all
software seems fine.

Here is the setup:
-        SmartFusion2 board, Emcraft 1.12 distro
-       The test app Geert mentioned, built in Emcraft tree and renamed
-        No slave device, just the naked demo board
-        Oscilloscope

First I verify that the scope sees the reference signal provided by
the scope itself. It does.
When I probe pin 17 (P7->17) on the breadboard, I see it HIGH. This
looks like SPI1_SS/ (it is doc'd as such).
When I probe pin 18 on the breadboard, looking for SPI1_CLK, it is
LOW. When the port is idle, this is expected.

When I fire up the test code, I expect to see SPI1_SS/ move LOW and
the clock signal asserted during the transfer.
------I SEE NOTHING-----


Have I overlooked a step?
