No SPI

[KNK]

Hello,
the spidev module is loaded, but there is no /dev/spi0 created ... do i need to set something else or just the spi is broken on RT5350F

I have also tried to install kmod-spi-gpio-custom, but the module is for kernel 3.18.17 while the one installed on the device is 3.18.19 and is missing the module, so my question is where can i obtain the module for 3.18.19, which repository should be added, because the ones listed in /etc/opkg.conf do not provide any 3.18.19 modules

I have recompiled the module from Olimex/openwrt but after loading it there is still no /dev/spi

because spi0 is used for the flash it is not shown, but spi1 (using pin 27) is also not shown even it is detected and configured ... any hints ?

The good news is that the gpio-custom module works (used the JTAG pins for the test) or at least registers the device (not tested communicating yet):
