- JC 09:17 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) Software Development: RE: Adding SPI flash
- Note that if you want to use the hardware designated chip select for that spibus instead of a gpio then the SPI_INTERN_CS variable is used. Unsure if this applies to a fpga spibus though.

A little confused. Your build_ramdisk_image.sh appears to be building a 1 GB image for loading an SD card, which contains including multiple partitions, etc.

Have you configured the pin-mux for the DA850_GPIO2_15, which would correspond to the chip select you are selecting for your part?
The way you have configured it is you are having the SPI controller drive that chip select ... - We have a SPI serial flash device on our board, an M25PE80. It is connected to SPI1 with SPI1_CS1.

It definitely will help me in crafting the ARM/DSP comms.

- Doug,
As far as I understand the anLength is really the length of the buffer passed between the DSP and ARM and is likely going to be bigger than your actual message. I agree that the description of the parameter is misleading.

- Hi,
I am now designing a carrier board for MitySOM335.
In the design guide, it mentions:
The I2C1 and I2C2 interface signals/mux options cannot be changed as they are used for dedicated functions on the MityARM-335x module.
