Accessing BBB SPI with C/C++

[Rafael Fiebig-Bindner]

Hello everyone,

i have enabled SPI1, but now the question is: How can I send/receive data throught it, using a C/C++ program?
I have found many examples for python, but none for C/C++, althought I read, that the Python module is written in C itself.

This lib, for example: https://github.com/piranha32/IOoo
https://github.com/piranha32/IOoo/blob/master/examples/tlc5946.cpp is
the top level file for an example app using the SPI class.

What kernel version are using? Have you load the overlay 'BB-SPIDEV0' to the cape manager? You should see something like /dev/spidev*.* after the SPI is enable.

If you are using kernel version larger than 4.4, then you just configure the pin to spi mode using 'sudo config-pin PIN_NUMBER spi', for do, di, cs and sclk.

For a lower kernel version, just load the related overlay under /lib/firmware/

I use 4.9 kernel. The spidev loopback test failed even after setting the config-pin
