Topic: Chumby Hacker Board has no working SPI port!!

Help!!

SPI is a most important port for many boards and both MX23 SSP ports can't be used for SPI!!

- SSP1 is used for the SD card heavily used by the kernel.
- SSP2 is mostly there *except* for the SSP2_CMD (GPMI_RDY1/J6) which becomes SPI2_MOSI during SPI mode.

Please consider bringing SPI2_MOSI out to a header!!  (Right now it's not even fanned out from the BGA ball = can't use it)

Agreed - I've been looking for more data ports, and another high-speed SPI would be welcome

Why not use an I2C to SPI bridge, problem solved (:
