Alan, Jean-Michel, Andrew, Robin - thanks for your positive reactions!
You make me feel embaressed. Anyway, this somewhat compensates for the
rather negative position my wife takes towards all these monitors, boards,
tools, wires and meters often spread out in our livingroom..
My ARMX6 GPIO/SPI setup and testing prog is not windowed/multitasking and
only modestly user friendly. I doubt if it meets the quality level Andrew
expects for the ARMX6 users' site. Today I have uploaded it to this site:
http://www.bigbenclub.nl/extras/
You'll find there yet another little tool, aimed at Raspberry Pi users.
This tool rearranges some Rpi GPIO pins into one fast 8bit parallel port.
Unfortunately this is on ARMX6 no option, as insufficient GPIO pins share
the same 32bit base address.
Jean-Michel, thanks for the Wandboard userguide link. When you compare
it's SPI-layout with mine you'll see why I consider available docu as
uprecise/ambiguous/faulty.
Have fun!

Really excellent work!
I didn't even know that GPIO pins were available on the ARMX6.
I would be grateful to see your BASIC prog to control these pins.
I have written quite a lot os software for the GPIO on the Pi (in
Forth), so your prog would make very interesting reading.
I'd just like to thank Paul for this post - really fantastic info for
anyone interested in GPIO.
I'd be happy to host the BASIC program on the ARMX6 users' site, too.

Thanks.
I've filed this away. I do use the GPIO on the rPi so this
might come in useful in the future.
I also use BASIC, so I'd be interested in your programme too.

Thanks for these informations.
from http://diy.torrens.org/RO/Wand/
in wbquad-revb1-userguide/PDF , I found JP4 (SPI) page 27.
I'd be interested in your programme too.
