Hello,
I am working with the Eagle board from Diamond System that has Apalis imx6 on it and I would like to communicate with SPI component LTC1858 datasheet using /dev/spidev1.0. The TX nb of bits is 8 and the RX nb of bits is 14.
It seems like I can kind of get data back from the component (I checked with an oscilloscope, what I see is what I get, I can’t check again until Friday), it’s just that the values sent back are not what I am expecting. The values I get are about 0.82*what I expect (ex, 10V input brings 8.2V spi data). I’m wondering if maybe the configuration is sent wrong… Not sure how to deal with the TX 8 bit and RX 14 bit business… I haven’t done anything with CS. Is there something wrong with the code I have been using? Is there a library I could use instead?
If I put the code in 16 bit version I get similar results.
Board info
uname -a info: Linux apalis-imx6 3.14.52-00009-g786c368 #20 SMP Sat Jun 17 11:27:18 IST 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux. Hardware: The board I’m working with is EGL-MX6-Q2G-XT from Diamond System. It’s an ARM SBC using Toradex Apalis iMX6. The OS is Angstrom.
Best regards,
Jennifer
