How to Enable SPI Slave mode for TX2i under L4T R28.2???

I have successfully enabled SPI by[url] https://elinux.org/Jetson/TX2_SPI[/url].Then,I want Enable the SPI to Slave mode,but I don’t know how to do?

I have the following questions for enabling SPI slave:
(1). What DTB changes are needed to configure a SPI bus as slave instead of master?
(2). How should I use SPI to communicate with two TX2I to test that SPI can be used normally?

Thanks in advanced for any input.

Have a check below document

HI ShaneCCC,thank you ,
How do I know if SPI_SLAVE mode is successfully turned on?

You may have log from the SPI host driver first and then connect the device to try it.

thank you @ShaneCCC,but it not work,
this is my dts
spi@3240000 {
reg = <0x0 0x3240000 0x0 0x10000>;
dmas = <0x18 0x12 0x18 0x12>;
interrupts = <0x0 0x27 0x4>;
compatible = “nvidia,tegra186-spi-slave”;
clock-names = “spi”, “pll_p”, “clk_m”;
reset-names = “spi”;
clocks = <0xd 0x4a 0xd 0x10d 0xd 0x261>;
nvidia,dma-request-selector = <0x18 0x12>;
resets = <0xd 0x2b>;
status = “okay”;
#address-cells = <0x1>;
phandle = <0x7d>;
nvidia,clk-parents = “pll_p”, “clk_m”;
#stream-id-cells = <0x1>;
#size-cells = <0x0>;
dma-names = “rx”, “tx”;
linux,phandle = <0x7d>;

	spi@0 {
		reg = <0x0>;
		compatible = "spidev";
		spi-max-frequency = <0x1312d00>;
	};
};

this is Boot log

this is error

Please use tegra124-spi-slave instead of tegra186-spi-slave

Thank you for your reply @ShaneCCC,
Unfortunately, it still can’t be used, and the error is the same as the original.

HI ShaneCCC ,
[ 2.681485] spi-tegra124-slave 3240000.spi: Probe Deferred, ret -517
this error is from Init dma parame In spi-tegra124.slave.c,Is this a problem there?
