Greetings everybody; Surveying my system, thinking I can probably program this 7i90HD right on this machine from its unused parport, I go traipsing into: /lib/modules/3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/kernel/drivers/spi, and find I have a choice of 3:
spi-bitbang.ko spi-butterfly.ko spi-lm70llp.ko Now, since there is not a switch or jumper on the 7i90HD to turn its 26 pin port from one to the other modes, and there is not a discussion of it in the 7i90HD pdf, I have to assume two things: 1. The 7i90HD is smart enough to tell whats driving it, and switch itself accordingly. 2. That SPI can be done over an EPP parport. So that leaves me with a 3 choice fork in the road. Is linux smart enough that it will bitch constructively if I try to modprobe the wrong one? spi-bitbang.ko sounds the most promising, but I don't want to kill the port, or any kittens playing. Or is this pristine dirt I am about to walk on? modprobe spi-bitbang had no errors, and it shows up in an lsmod as not linked to anything else. I would have assumed it would have grabbed parport, but I rmmod'd that whole lp,etc chain without effecting it or generating a fuss. Obviously I do not have a good grasp of what the heck it is that I'm trying to do. Tutorials, links to tutorials, anybody? Thanks.
