  1. Ok, however the rt2800usb is on the distribution. I understand this to be that I need to recompile the kernel, after enabling the missing h/w defs.

     

    CONFIG_RT2800USB_RT53XX=y

     

    Could the suspicion that it would work be correct? (if noone changed wifi to be incompatible with legacy hw)

     

    Is there anyone using usb wifi on the  Orange PI 5 and if this is the case, what chipset/make?

     

    I take it that the builtin wifi on the 5B works...

  2. Hi again,

     

    No, first time I tried ( when it failed ) I surely did a cut'n'paste from the web into armbianEnv.txt with these parameters.

     

    This time with the image you pointed me at, I wrote

     

    overlays=spi_spidev usbhost2 usbhost3

     

    instead of

     

    overlays=spi-spidev usbhost2 usbhost3

     

    by manual editing. Then before I posted the results (fail) , I double-checked, and found the mistake.

     

    After that all worked as expected. This lead me to believe that I *might* get a good result if I test again and re-edit the

    Env.txt, I cannot understand why it did not work as described, I guess I will do that and post again, just to close this issue properly

    If that fails, then there *is* an issue with the OS image I used. I have not observed anything else wrong with that image though.

    But Debian Buster is fine with me.

     

    Regards & Thanx

  3. Thank you very much martinayotte, that worked like a charm :-)

     

    I misspelled spi_spidev at first, and got the same error, I might try the other image again, and triple verify spelling,

    something nonprintable?? anyway, the debian buster image is perfect for my use, and once the keyword was right

    it behaved exactly as documented / per your instructions.

     

    Best Regards,

    picked up from the armbian download page

     

    I could probably build myself, but am not set up for that. I have an older OPI Z with working SPI, will look at

    what kernel it has. All my devices are loaded from armbian download page....

  5. Same error with original dtbo

  6. And this is the spidev dts, that i processed with dts and stored under it's default name in /boot/dtb/overlays/

    sun8i-h3-spi-spidev.dtbo

    It is 772 bytes, as opposed to 780 original, two times disabled changed to okay.

     

    od -a shows "okay" in the dtbo now....

            compatible = "allwinner,sun8i-h3";

                    __overlay__ {

                            spidev {

  7. Early boot:

     

    looks like it is applying sun8i-h3-spi-spidev.dtbo, it is "stock" except I changed "disabled" to "okay" in two places....

     

    there is no /boot/boot.env on my SD, cannot see it mentioned earlier.

  8. So, boldly decompiled the spi-spidev dtbo, edited the dts to enable spi's, compiled back, replaced the dtbo, rebooted....

     

    Nah....did not work....so obviously my brain did not filter out the correct structure of this....

    No trace of anything interesting in dmesg.....

  9. Hmmm....

     

    Dumping the contents of the overlay file, /boot/dtb/overlay/sun8i-h3-spi-spidev.dtbo there ARE commands for the spi, but these

    are disabled. So, would it make more sense to have possible conflicting devices disabled ( as of now ) and the overlay file

    enabling selected, by the armbianEnv.txt mechanism?

  10. I seem to have lost the SPI while versions have changed. Tried installing a new "zero" with latest kernel...

    Reboot...

     

    But, no /dev/spidev.....

     

    I have read this string, and my understanding is that this should be sufficient with recent kernel....

     

    Humbly,
