unable to interface beaglebonegreen with mcp3008 using SPI












1















I am unable to interface mcp 3008 with beaglebone green.trying to set communication in mode 0(CPOL =0 CPHA=0),the built in frequency in dts is set to 1Mhz.
things I have tried
1.enable device tree BB-SPI0-MCP3008-00A0.dts

on execution of
ls -al /dev/spidev1.*
I got
crw-rw---- 1 root spi 153, 0 Oct 7 16:40 /dev/spidev1.1



2.on execution of
cat /sys/kernel/debug/pinctrl/44e10800.pinmux/pingroups



group: pinmux_bb_spi0_pins pin 84 (PIN84) pin 85 (PIN85) pin 86 (PIN86) pin 87 (PIN87)



My reference code is as follow

int readadc(int fd, uint8_t channel)
{
uint8_t tx = {1, control_bits(channel), 0
};
uint8_t rx[3]={0,0,0};

struct spi_ioc_transfer tr = {
.tx_buf = (unsigned long)tx,
.rx_buf = (unsigned long)rx,
.len = ARRAY_SIZE(tx),
.delay_usecs = DELAY,

.bits_per_word = BITS, };

if (ioctl(fd, SPI_IOC_MESSAGE(1), &tr) == 1)
{
perror("IO Error");
abort();
}

return ((rx[1] << 8) & 0x300) | (rx[2] & 0xFF);
}

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{

int fd = open(DEVICE, O_RDWR);
if (fd <= 0)
{

return -1;
}

uint8_t i,radc=0;
for(i = 0;i < 8;i++)
{ printf("Channel %d: %dn", i + 1, readadc(fd, i)); }

close(fd);

return 0;
}


after executing this code I am getting 1023 count for any applied voltage,where I am expecting count 0 for 0 input voltage and so on .
Can anybody please help me? can you tell me where I am doing wrong?what are the other things I have to consider while using SPI on beaglebone?any kind of help will be greatly appreciated!

          solved it as suggested from other forum it was hardware related thing.I have to put 0.1uf capacitor between vcc and gnd,where analog ground and digital ground were common.
