I cannot get SPI working on my Nanopi Duo or rather there is no /dev/spi*.
I build a custom Kernel with the build process and Network and other stuff works. Loading the spi-spidev overlay in various ways did not help. (Loading via U-Boot, during runtime, combine the overlay and devicetree and compile it as whole)
By the way, the Images from https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-duo/ are not even booting through U-Boot for me.
