[beagleboard] SPI Clock Rate

Are you wanting to run the beagle bone as a SPI slave or master?

If slave, yes, but Linux does not have SPI slave support built into it.
If master, I don't think so, the master generates the clock, usually.

See the AM335x reference manual [1] for more detail.

I would recommend using starterware, but from what I see in the
documentation slave mode is not supported. I never worked with it, but
with much thinner system layer beneath your application it may be
easier to implement support for McSPI in your application than with
linux.
