RE: Is SPI Working? - xalius - 04-05-2017
Move to the tab with Nightly Releases on the Pine64 download page for the mainline images...
RE: Is SPI Working? - x893 - 04-05-2017
I download Nightly 4.10.0. After boot (w/o any overlays=) i see next messages
# lsmod|grep spi
spidev 20480 0
# dmesg | grep spi

also i try
# echo -n spi0.0 >/sys/bus/spi/drivers/spidev/bind
-bash: echo: write error: No such device
also i try add overlays= to uEnv.txt but nothing change for ls /dev/spi*
RE: Is SPI Working? - martinayotte - 04-06-2017
The issue is related to the fact that current DT is loading a "jedec,spi-nor" driver.
You will need to edit the main DT and remove the "spi-flash@0" section.
Then you will be able to load the overlay, but it need to be done in armbianEnv.txt, not uEnv.txt which doesn't exist in Armbian.
(Or wait few more days, until I'll fix the issue in future builds)

In fact, I've done the tasks, it should be present in next nigthly build.
RE: Is SPI Working? - x893 - 04-10-2017
Perfect, download today and check.
Thanks !
RE: Is SPI Working? - x893 - 04-10-2017
Download mainline version.
Now /dev/spidev0.0 exists and open.
But not works with software from Raspberry Pi.
Read (or write) values not correct.
RE: Is SPI Working? - martinayotte - 04-12-2017
Which devices you are trying to communicate with ?
Which RaspberryPi software you are using ?
RE: Is SPI Working? - x893 - 04-14-2017
Hi,
i use iC880A hardware and lora-gateway software library
(http://github.com/lora-net/lora-gateway)
after connect via Visual Studio i can debug software but was busy some days so can see in depth at weekend.

@x893
Which os image are you using where the spidev shows up? I can't seem to get mine to show, and currently running the latest armbian image (5.30_Pine64_Ubuntu_xenial_default_3.10.105)
