------------------
mraa has only been tested with 64 bit firmware version 0.73 or later.
+SPI
+---
+For SPI support you need to load the low_speed_spidev kernel module and that
+will create the /dev/spidev0.0 device node. Mraa only knows about this one SPI
+bus and no other.

Interface notes
---------------
-The low speed I/O connector supported as per table below.
-This assumes default BIOS settings, as they are not dynamcially detected
-If any changes are mode (Device Manager -> System Setup -> South Cluster -> LPSS & CSS)
-them mraa calls will not behave as expected.
-
-Documentation shows i2c on bus #5, ACPI shows it on bus #6, but driver uses bus #7.
