RE: SPI driver?

Have you tried looking in the <kernel root>/arch/ppc/8xx_io directory there
is a file there called spi.c This believe it or not is a SPI driver in a
limited form for the 8XX powerpc cpu.  The kernel I'm using is 2.2.14 from
ftp://ftp.denx.de <ftp://ftp.denx.de>  this is a very good kernel I suggest
you look it over at least once.

		Is there an MPC8260 SPI driver out there for Linux?  It
wouldn't be
		terribly hard to write one on my own, but why re-invent the
wheel?

		A link to an 8xx driver would be almost as good. The only
one I've found
		so far has been SPI over a PC's parallel port. heh

Just got it and found the driver, gracias.  I also got Denx's 2.4.4 kernel and
the SPI driver is missing. I assume this is because the microcode patches are
there and the spi driver doesn't work with them?

Is this the only 8xx or 8260 driver there is?? If there's more I'd like to see
them, just to keep my options open.

Thanks again Rod
