Bringing up new hardware/software can be difficult. You don't if you have a software, hardware, configuration or bad part, etc.
Let's assume that the eval board is good. Check Vcc and ground at the device. Watch the SPI signals with your oscilloscope and make sure that what you think you're sending is really correct. If you can find some example code or library, study it. Are you doing all things that you need to do to enable the output.
Looking for CE0 is a good first step. You might post your code since there is no way you can no if its good and you can stare at it for days.
Good luck.
