Hi all, 

I am working with SPI, on both a BB AI and a BBBlue and on both machines a transfer on the using the ioctl() system call (spidev1.0 interface), takes approx 3ms. Is the kernel adding some overhead for debugging there that could be removed?

Would appreciate any help on how to do this.
Thanks a lot and have a great Sunday.

SPI_DEBUG was disabled a long time ago, what image/kernel are you running?

sudo /opt/scripts/tools/version.sh

Regards,
