Subject: Re: [Emc-users] Multiple 7i90 cards on Rpi 4b

I'm not too worried about signal integrity issues, as
I am using a four layer board and the traces are similar
length for the original 2x13 connector and the second
one.  I'm more worried about whether the Rpi 4B can
handle double the traffic, and not sure whether it is
better to use SPI0/CE0 and CE1, or SPI0 and SPI1/CE0.
Also whether the multiple board functionality of hm2_rpspi
has even been tested.

I guess the board won't cost much from JLC, if I combine
the order with another board I need.

You are very likely the first person to try this...
the SPI0+CE0 and CE1 seems simpler but I dont know
what hm2_rpspi has implemented.

Subject: [Emc-users] Multiple 7i90 cards on Rpi 4b

The man page for hm2_rpspi indicates that multiple SPI
cards may be connected to a single pi4, using the spi_probe
parameter to which SPI port and chip enable line should
be used for each card.  Has this been found to work well?
I have an application that needs two 7i90hd's, and I will
be making a small pcb to connect the 7i90hd's and the 4b.
My single 7i90/4b card is working fine.

Thanks,

I have not tried it. Cabling and signal integrity might be an issue.
