Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions.
Actually i am new to SPI,and all related ADC drivers in the latest kernels
are through I2C.i am going to use an temperature module through this adc
connected through SPI.so i think i am going to read the data only,no data
writing is required.
Let us try and see .If any body is having a reference driver for SPI based
ADC,they can share.
Regards
Arjun
