Linux C code crashes - c

Question

I wrote a C program on the Beaglebone Black to read and write to the 25LC256 (EEPROM). I am able to compile it without any errors or warnings, gcc SPI.c -o SPI, but when I try running it ./SPI, my entire Beaglebone stops working, and I have to reboot it. In fact, the program doesn't even output anything. I have the code print out "Starting" at the begging, but that doesn't even work.
Could anybody see where I might be going wrong ?

Please forgive my poor coding, I'm still a beginner.
