Thanks Mike.
That page filled in a couple of knowledge gaps for me.
I'm still struggling to find out where to get Quartus though.
Can you point me in the right direction?
I tried but was unsuccessful in getting the virtualbox... Eric Nelson

Eric,
Thanks for sharing! I wasn't sure if it supported arbitrary GPIO pins or not. Good to know!

Thanks Mike.
In case it's useful to someone else, I saw that the driver supports the use of "arbitrary GPIO pins":https://support.criticallink.com/gitweb/?p=linux-socfpga.git;a=blob;f=drivers/spi/spi-dw-mmio.c;h=447497e9124c922a4e3ecc... Eric Nelson

MF 03:36 PM Software Development: RE: Pin-muxing SPI

Hi Eric,
Your assumptions are correct. To use the hard HPS SPI peripheral, you would use the signals you have highlighted in the attached image.
You could also not use the hard HPS SPI peripheral, and add a SPI controller into the FP... Mike Fiorenza

Eric,
Use poky-glibc-x86_64-mitysom-image-base-cortexa9hf-neon-toolchain-2.4.4.sh which is under the Quartus 18.1 20201116 section.
Sorry for the confusion. I think the other two are legacy and should be removed.

I'm also answering my first question (how to launch Quartus).
The executable name is quartus, and it seems that I don't have a proper installation. I followed instructions on Intel's site and seem to have a broken version 20.1.

There are three poky toolchain bundles on this page, and two of them have the same name, "poky-eglibc-x86_64-mitysom-5csx-dev-kit-cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-toolchain-1.5.4.sh".

EN 11:54 PM Software Development: Pin-muxing SPI

Hi all,
We'd like to make use of the SPI peripheral on the MitySOM-5CSx with at least two different chip-selects.
Is the use of the highlighted pins (SPIM0_SS0/SS1) the right approach?
I've worked with other SPI controller drive... Eric Nelson
