I am currently struggling to get SPI enabled on my Beaglebone Black. I am running the most recent Debian distribution and have tried just about every conceivable way to try and get SPI enabled. The reason why I want to get SPI enabled is so that I can use the TRF7960/A RFID reader from TI. A few years ago, a group of TI interns developed a cape particularly for this reader (http://elinux.org/BeagleBone_Black_RFID_Adaptor_Cape) and posted their code as well as their device tree overlay on Github ( https://github.com/shengzhao91/RFID_Adaptor_Cape). I have tried their instructions as well as the generic ones that are available on e-linux with no success, I have the Beaglebone hooked up to an oscilloscope to test if any data is sent and so far I have not been able to see anything. Furthermore, as far as I can tell, I am not able to enable SPI 0.0. When I try, it shows up as either spidev1.0 or spidev2.0 depending on if I enabled it after SPI 1.0.
