feedback: /dev/spidev5.1 seems to work fine in 5.0.0-edison-acpi-standard about meta-intel-edison

Do you think I need to correct something in the documentation? Or is there another area that's needs improvement?

[ecc1]

The current documentation says "SPI should be working but we haven’t tested this with hardware. Feedback here will be much appreciated." which is why I filed this "issue", that's all.

[htot]

Would you care to edit the file, with how you tested as an example and send a PR? It's in markdown here: docs/_docs/Edison/Current State/4.4-hsu-i2c-spi.md

Also, I'm interested in knowing what happens with the LED while your communicating with the SPI device?

[ecc1]

OK, will do. I'm using an Intel mini-breakout board, and didn't notice any effect on the LEDs during SPI activity. Why do you think there might be an interaction?

[htot]

I see. That applies only to the Edison-Ardiuno board. AFAICT the LED is muxed with a SPI line.

I can report here,
I have connected an oled screen on spi driven by fbtft/fbcon.
if screen is light on, DS2 will quickly blink, about ~5hz or more.
if screen goes sleep, DS2 will off.
