VAR-SOM-MX6 SPI
From Variscite Wiki
VAR-SOM-MX6 - SPI
Testing SPI from user space require some changes.
- Configure your kernel (using "make menuconfig", for example) and add spidev driver: Device Drivers -> SPI support -> <*> User mode SPI device driver support
- Add spidev and pinctrl to your device tree
For VAR-SOM-MX6, edit arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-var-som.dtsi
For DART-MX6, edit arch/arm/boot/dts/imx6qdl-var-dart.dtsi

Pick and choose the right chip select and you can also have multiple chip selects.
- Continue following the Build Linux from source code guide to build the kernel and device trees and to copy them to your SD card. Don't forget to also build and install the kernel modules.
- For testing use the application:
