Hello All,

I'm trying to set-up MCP2515 on 8mhz on orange Pi one on SPI0
running recent installed Armbian 5.9 / Linux 3.4.113-sun8i

 

can bus support orange pi zero

i was reading trough above for pi Zero and trying get the unit up and running, but no luck till now,

 

CAN unit is modifed, so 3v3 for mcp and 5v for can tranciever, connections:
pin1 3v3 power on vcc for mcp2515
pin2 5v power for cantranciever
pin6 gnd
pin19/PC0(GPIO Orange PI) MOSI - (MCP2515<->CAN) SI
pin21/PC1(GPIO Orange PI) MISO - (MCP2515<->CAN) SO
pin23/PC2(GPIO Orange PI) CLK   - (MCP2515<->CAN) SCK
pin24/PC3(GPIO Orange PI) CS     - (MCP2515<->CAN) CS
pin29 PA7(GPIO Orange PI)  INT    - (MCP2515<->CAN) INT

 

connected per i/o schematic from: Pi one GPIO   

overlay for mcp2515
in folder boot/user-overlay --> sun8i-h3-spi0-mcp2515.dtbo

i'm a bit puzzled how find out what i do wrong with the overlays, upon check:
root@orangepione:# dmesg | grep spi||mcp
[    0.628802] sunxi_spi_chan_cfg()1376 - [spi-0] has no spi_regulator.
[    0.628817] sunxi_spi_chan_cfg()1376 - [spi-1] has no spi_regulator.
[    0.629394] spi spi0: master is unqueued, this is deprecated

 

Seems i would have something wrong in armbianenv.txt / what do i have wrong in overlay..

some good direction pointer were really appreciated..

Such "spi-spidev0" overlay doesn't exist by default. Did you wrote your own ?

The one that exist is :

overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0

Also, your u-boot log is truncated, we don't see the part where overlays are loaded ...

Martin,

 

thanks for the reply, changed per your comments,

as no i did not write one, but same result on dsmeg as above..

looks like spi0 were not enabled, used the mcp2515 board earlier with arduino without issue's

 

added the u-boot file, and dtbo overlay file..i was checking the overlay info from Armbian user-guide

it made me doubt on the folder locations, after installing base image copied attached dtbo file to folder /boot/overlay-user

or do i need to do something after copying???

i checked the u-boot log but can't see it seems to load the mcp2515 overlay..

but i'm not experienced enough on this..

I'm seeing in your boot log "Armbian Linux 3.4.113-sun8i", this is a Legacy image, and Legacy images doesn't support DT overlays at all !

You should try with Mainline "current" or "dev" images ...

Martin,

 

Thanks for good advise will look into it, unfortenately to travel for next 2 weeks,

to be continued.
