"Orange Pi PC - OP0600" "Armbian 22.11.1 Jammy XFCE" no /dev/spi* device(s)

[EddT]

 

After a clean install of 22.11.1, I edit /boot/armbianEnv.txt to add:
    overlay_prefix=sun8i
    overlays=uart3 i2c0 spi-spidev
    param_spidev_spi_bus=0

and reboot.

 

After the reboot I list the /dev files of interest and there is/are no "spi*" entries:
pi@orangepipc:~$ ls /dev/i2c* /dev/spi*
ls: cannot access '/dev/spi*': No such file or directory
 /dev/i2c-0   /dev/i2c-1
pi@orangepipc:~$

 

Not sure if it makes any difference but I only have power, HDMI, and RJ45 connected to the board at this time,
and nothing connected to the GPIO pins.

 

Below are the states of two files, one from which I got the BOARDFAMILY, and the other 
into which I placed that value as "overlay_prefix", and the "overlays" and "param_spidev_spi_bus"
values.

 

Any and all help appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

you need to check your uboot log whether dt overlays are applied.

Thank you, ning, for replying.

 

What I found was that /boot/armbianEnv.txt, after a clean install, already contained an overlay_prefix, which was different in value from what I found in the clean install, so I left that alone and just added the other two parameters.  

 

The devices became visible after the reboot.

 

Thanks again for the quick reply.  I am new at this and I appreciate the help of experts.
