I am trying to understand more about how to talk to different spi chips using the MPC8313. The documentation that comes with the development board is really lacking and I am relying on the /usr/src/linux/Documentaion/spi. However, I still can't seem to answer my questions.

1) Which device do I open up to talk to the bus. I would use something like /dev/ttyS0 for a serial port, and I assume it would be /dev/spidev.0 and I would have to make it manually using mknod - but what ties the /dev/spidev.0 to the actual chip driver? Is there something I have to do in addition to mknod?

2) I would be looking for a few examples on how to talk to a SPI bus as well. I've looked at spidev_test.c and I would like to see another example or two.
