Hi,

I've also started writing an spi driver some time ago,  did an io_spi 
device driver and
its low level part for the at91. I managed to do some tests with its 
local loopback feature,
the next thing in plan is to write an dataFlash driver...

I can share my code and maybe eCos needs an spi device driver 
infrastructure.
Anybody interested in merging our work ?
