    Hello all,

    In the BSP 2.4-3 of Torpedo Wireless module, by default, the DMA of SPI bus is disabled.

    Could you tell me if there is any issue that forces to disable the DMA?

    Thanks and Best Regads,

    Joaquim Duran

    Joaquim,

    In reviewing the history of the DM37x development I did find a ticket (DM37LINUX-185) indicating that SIDEV support was added which enabled communication with the AT25 EEPROM. During this development it was discovered that disabling the DMA in the omap2_mcspi.c driver was required. The developer was getting the "DMA RX last word empty" error and bogus data during this development.

    Here is more information on that error with someone else having a similar problem:
