External SD Card using SPI on Orange Pi Zero 2W

[kreestyahn]

Hello,

 

I have connected a microSD module to the SPI1 CS0 pins


Is there a way to mount an SPI device? I tried, but I got this error: mount: /mnt/sdcard: /dev/spidev1.0 is not a block device.
What is the best way to easily manage files on this secondary SD card?

Can you publish the connection diagram of this device. What's in the brief?

First, you need to write an overlay for the DTS.

Compile it and add it to /boot/dtb*/overlay, and a line to load into armbianEnv.txt the file.

After that, the SD card will be automatically mounted as /dev/mmcblkXp1

I have created an sun50i-h616-spi-sd.dts:
 

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
    compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h616";

    fragment@0 {
        target = <&spi1>;
        __overlay__ {
            #address-cells = <1>;
            #size-cells = <0>;
            status = "okay";

            mmc@0 {
                reg = <0>;
                compatible = "mmc-spi-slot";
                voltage-ranges = <3300 3300>;
                spi-max-frequency = <50000000>;
                status = "okay";
            };
        };
    };
};

compiled it and added into /boot/dtb/allwinner/overlay

orangepiEnv.txt:

I can't show you the physical connections because the orange pi is built into a custom board that I don't have access to right now, but the microSD module it connected to the SPI1-MOSI, -MISO, -CLK, -CS0 pins.

Pins are recorded for the mmc0 node

mmc0_pins:

 

Add fragment0: aliases

By analogy with this aliases

 

/omit-if-no-ref/ - This line says that they are missing from your dtb

Add fragment1:

spi1_pins:

			spi1_pins: spi1-pins {
				pins = "PH6", "PH7", "PH8";
				function = "spi1";
			};

			spi1_cs0_pin: spi1-cs0-pin {
				pins = "PH5";
				function = "spi1";
			};

 

Your fragment has now become the third. Add a description of the pins to it by analogy with this:

pinctrl-names

[kreestyahn]

Like this?

 

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
    compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h616";

    fragment@0 {
        target-path = "/aliases";
        __overlay__ {
            spi0 = "/soc/spi@5010000";
            spi1 = "/soc/spi@5011000";
        };
    };

    fragment@1 {
        target = <&spi1>;
        __overlay__ {
            spi1_pins: spi1-pins {
                pins = "PH6", "PH7", "PH8";

And try to experience

[kreestyahn]

  

now it looks like this:I replaced the target = <&spi1>;  to target-path = </soc/spi@5011000>; because i got errors (Reference to non-existent node or label "spi1").

 

/dts-v1/;

/ {
        compatible = "allwinner,sun50i-h616";

        fragment@0 {
                target-path = "/aliases";

                __overlay__ {
                        spi0 = "/soc/spi@5010000";
                        spi1 = "/soc/spi@5011000";
                };
        };

        fragment@1 {
                target-path = "/soc/spi@5011000";

                __overlay__ {
                        spi1_pins: spi1-pins {
                                pins = "PH6\0PH7\0PH8";
                                function = "spi1";

                        };

                        spi1_cs0_pin: spi1-cs0-pin {
                                pins = "PH5";
                                function = "spi1";

                        };
                };
        };

        fragment@2 {
                target-path = "/soc/spi@5011000";

                __overlay__ {
                        #address-cells = <0x01>;
                        #size-cells = <0x00>;
                        pinctrl-names = "default\0default";
                        pinctrl-0 = <&spi1_pins>, <&spi1_cs0_pin>;
                        status = "okay";

                        mmc@0 {
                                reg = <0x00>;
                                compatible = "mmc-spi-slot";
                                voltage-ranges = <0xce4 0xce4>;
                                spi-max-frequency = <0x2faf080>;
                                status = "okay";
                        };
                };
        };

};

Now I could compile it without any error, but in /dev there is still only one mmcblk.

The error disappears and the SPI1 pins' mode set back to ALT4 when only "spi1-cs0-spidev" overlay is enabled.

But if only "spi-sd" or both is enabled it set them back to "OFF" and the error appears.

@kreestyahn

Maybe start from the beginning.
Disable all overlays.
Download the OS.
On a running OS, extract the DTS:

dtc --sort -I fs -O dts  /sys/firmware/devicetree/base > dts-base.txt

Connect the overlay. Reboot.
On a running OS, the DTS is extracted to another file.
Compare.
