I am looking for how I can configure a kernel devices ports, I have a MAX3421 usb host shield and I found and compiled the kernel driver for it ( http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/usb/host/max3421-hcd.c?v=4.4 ) But am unable to figure out how to tell the module what ports to use for the spi

  • Distro: Raspbian ( Raspberry pi variant of debian )
  • Kernel version : 4.9.22+
  • module : max3421-hcd

Any help would be greatly appriciated

    Could you edit your question to link to the shield and explain how you are planning to use the shield (in broad terms) as I don't understand what it is used for? Will the (presumably) 5V shield work with the 3V3 Pi GPIO? – joan Apr 19 '17 at 15:01

    What do you mean by what ports to use? MAX3421E seems to have a single USB port and a single SPI interface. – Dmitry Grigoryev Apr 19 '17 at 15:16
  • how does it know which spi port to run over? – Tim Holum Apr 19 '17 at 15:18

    Chatting with some people on FreeNode, they mentioned I have to create a Device Tree binding – Tim Holum Apr 19 '17 at 15:41

From pinout.xyz:

SPI0 pins in BCM mode are: 9, 10, 11 + 7/8

SPI0 pins in WiringPi are: 12, 13, 14 + 10/11
