SPI enable?

Anybody to success enable spi port in GPIO?

what your linux version?

Sunxi already support SPI NOR Flash on the mainline kernel, this means the SPI already enable.

Sorry, what your mean?
Where i get linux for pinr64 with mainline kernel (spi enable)?

Thanks

you can get a mainline image at

https://dl.armbian.com/pine64/nightly/ (de debian one)

but spi doesn't seem to work on that at the moment

There should be a dts-overlay in Armbian to switch UART3/4 to SPI... so you dont even have to change your devicetree manually

[jeroen79]

the overlay doesn't seem to work, adding the following to the dtb and compiling it does work:


&spi0 {
#address-cells = <1>;
#size-cells = <0>;
status = "okay";

spidev@0 {
reg = <0>; /* Chip Select 0 */
compatible = "spidev";
spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
status = "okay";
};

spidev@1 {
reg = <1>; /* Chip Select 1 */
compatible = "spidev";
spi-max-frequency = <1000000>;
status = "okay";
};
};


Why isn't this included by default in the dtb?

The policy for mainline Linux is to not enable anything that is just on headers with no devices connected, and if devices are connected only the things needed, like MTD for the SPI flash.

i was able to get SPI enabled on my Pine64+ by following the instructions at the following link:

http://synfare.com/599N105E/hwdocs/pine64/spidev.html

This is what it looks like after performing the dtc edits:

Code:

ls /dev/spidev0.0
/dev/spidev0.0

$ dmesg | grep spi
[    7.359039] sunxi hwspinlock vbase:0xffffff800005c000
[    8.643747] spi spi0: master is unqueued, this is deprecated

lsmod |grep spi
spidev                 13470  0

i have not tried this but it looks good thus far.
