SPI interface using the IO-Port #2
This page introduces how you can SPI interface using IO-Port on ODROID-U3.
Note that SPI port supports only master mode and 1.8 Volt interface like other IO ports on Exynos processor.
J5 - 2×2 pins(IO Port #2)
This socket is not provides at revision 0.3
| Pin Number | Expansion Net Name | Export Number | Pin Number | Expansion Net Name | Export Number |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | XSPICLK_1 (GPB.4) | #21 | 2 | XSPICSN_1 (GPB.5) | #22 |
| 3 | XSPIMOSI_1 (GPB.7) | #24 | 4 | XSPIMISO_1 (GPB.6) | #23 |
If your ODROID-U3 have old version kernel you need to update using odroid-utility.
sudo odroid-utility.sh
How to load the SPI driver module for generic SPI usage
Load the module to activate the SPI host.
sudo modprobe spi-s3c64xx
Load the module to activate the generic SPI.
sudo modprobe spidev
And you will have a standard SPI node.
ls /dev/spidev1.0
How to load the SPI driver module for serial Flash
Load the module to activate the SPI host.
sudo modprobe spi-s3c64xx
Load the serial flash (misc) driver.
sudo modprobe odroid-ioboard
And you will have a Serial Flash node.
ls /dev/ioboard-spi-misc
Where are the SPI device drivers in Kernel 3.8.y?
SPI host interface driver
SPI generic driver
Serial SPI Flash add-on driver example
We have tested the ioboard-spi-misc.ko with a Serial SPI Flash memory SST25WF020A on the new IO Shield and the maximum speed was 40Mhz of SPI clock.
