Hi all, I hope this email finds you well. I am new to the Linux kernel SPI subsystem, I am currently in the process of learning about its functionalities and intricacies. I have a few doubts and questions that I would like to clarify, and I am hoping you could provide some assistance. As I understand it, the Linux kernel SPI subsystem supports two main types of SPI drivers: SPI controller drivers and SPI protocol drivers. Much like the USB Skeleton driver (drivers/usb/usb-skeleton.c) serves as an excellent reference example for new engineers developing USB device drivers, I am wondering if there exists a similar skeleton driver for both SPI controller and SPI protocol drivers within the Linux kernel tree. Would it be possible for you to share any reference code or examples for these drivers? Additionally, I am curious about the interaction between user space applications and SPI hardware devices on the target side through the SPI protocol driver. Could you please clarify if user space applications communicate with the hardware device on the target side via the SPI protocol driver running on the host side? Furthermore, I would like to inquire about the availability of an SPI library for user space applications, similar to libusb for USB communication. Does the SPI subsystem provide any such library, or do user space applications communicate directly with the SPI protocol or controller driver through system call? Your insights into these matters would be immensely helpful for my understanding of the Linux kernel SPI subsystem. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Thank You! _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
