[ArmbianBananaPi] - script.bin missing


xefil

Recommended Posts

 

Hello to all!

I'm using Armbian on my BananaPi board.

I've the following version:


 

ARMBIAN 5.38 stable Debian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch) 4.14.15-sunxi

BOARD=bananapi
BOARD_NAME="Banana Pi"
VERSION=5.35
LINUXFAMILY=sunxi
BRANCH=next
ARCH=arm
IMAGE_TYPE=user-built
BOARD_TYPE=conf
INITRD_ARCH=arm
KERNEL_IMAGE_TYPE=zImage

 

I need to follow these instructions to wire a radio on the board:

 

https://www.mysensors.org/build/orange

 

But I cannot find the script.bin file. Why?

I can remember the file was here on old releases.

 

Any help or suggestion?

 

Thanks,

 

Simon

Good morning,

That's a great point to start with, and as always, first rule, RTFM, you're absolutely right.

I've started reading it and it's a little complicated. The part that I think it's referred on what I need is:

### spi0

Activates SPI controller 0 to use it with other overlays and sets up the pin multiplexing for it

SPI 0 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0, CS1): PI12, PI13, PI11, PI10, PI14

### spi1

Activates SPI controller 1 to use it with other overlays and sets up the pin multiplexing for it

SPI 1 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PI18, PI19, PI17, PI16

### spi2

Activates SPI controller 2 to use it with other overlays and sets up the pin multiplexing for it

SPI 2 pins a (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PC21, PC22, PC20, PC19
SPI 2 pins b (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PB16, PB17, PB15, PB14

Parameters:

param_spi2_bus_pins (char)
        SPI bus 2 pinmux variant
        Optional
        Default: a
        Supported values: a, b
        Determines what pins SPI bus 2 is exposed on if SPI 2 is used

### spi-add-cs1

Activates SPI chip select 1 on SPI controller 0
This overlay is required for using chip select 1 with other SPI overlays

SPI 0 CS1 pin: PI14

### spi-jedec-nor

Activates MTD support for JEDEC compatible SPI NOR flash chips on SPI bus
supported by the kernel SPI NOR driver

SPI 0 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0, CS1): PI12, PI13, PI11, PI10, PI14
SPI 1 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PI18, PI19, PI17, PI16
SPI 2 pins a (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PC21, PC22, PC20, PC19
SPI 2 pins b (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PB16, PB17, PB15, PB14

Parameters:

param_spinor_spi_bus (int)
        SPI bus to activate SPI NOR flash support on
        Required
        Supported values: 0, 1, 2

param_spinor_spi_cs (int)
        SPI chip select number for SPI NOR connected to SPI bus 0
        Optional
        Default: 0
        Supported values: 0, 1
        Using chip select 1 on SPI 0 requires using "spi-add-cs1" overlay

param_spinor_max_freq (int)
        Maximum SPI frequency
        Optional
        Default: 1000000
        Range: 3000 - 100000000

### spi-spidev

Activates SPIdev device node (/dev/spidevX.Y) for userspace SPI access,
where X is the bus number and Y is the CS number

SPI 0 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0, CS1): PI12, PI13, PI11, PI10, PI14
SPI 1 pins (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PI18, PI19, PI17, PI16
SPI 2 pins a (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PC21, PC22, PC20, PC19
SPI 2 pins b (MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS0): PB16, PB17, PB15, PB14

Parameters:

param_spidev_spi_bus (int)
        SPI bus to activate mcp2515 support on
        Required
        Supported values: 0, 1, 2

param_spidev_spi_cs (int)
        SPI chip select number for SPIdev on SPI bus 0
        Optional
        Default: 0
        Supported values: 0, 1
        Using chip select 1 on SPI 0 requires using "spi-add-cs1" overlay

param_spidev_max_freq (int)
        Maximum SPIdev frequency
        Optional
        Default: 1000000
        Range: 3000 - 100000000

 

 

Due I'll need to connect on this board two radio (one NRF24L01+ and one RFM69), I fear to make some damages, so I ask here.

I would start with one radio first, the RFM69. But here comes the first question it's not totally clear for me:

 

1. Is the BananaPi able to have two radio connected on the GPIO?

 

Seems yes if the above doc speeks about SPI 0 - 1 - 2 all with required MOSI, MISO, SCK, CS....

 

But I've read somewhere for RPi the following:

Quote

Adding /dev/spidev1.0 is required since /dev/spidev0.0 is used for the onboard NAND flash

 

2. I'ts valid for BananaPi as well?

 

BTW then, let's start with the first radio assuming I can start with bus0. The overlay should look like:

overlays=spi-spidev
param_spidev_spi_bus=0

That should create a "/dev/spidev***" device.

 

This should give me those connections GPIO available:

MOSI: PI12 -> CON3-PORT19
MISO: PI13 -> CON3-PORT21
SCK: PI11 -> CON3-PORT23
CS: PI10 -> CON3-PORT24

 

Then I'm missing the power 3.3v (CON3-PORT01), ground (CON3-PORT06) and IRQ, which should be ok any normal PIN (i.e. CON3-PORT22).

 

Until here makes it sense??

 

Sorry, but as written above I fear I could make some mistrakes and damage the devices.

 

Assuming the above works, how can then I add a second spidev?

This is something I cannot understand from the documentation.

 

Many thanks,

 

Simon

The banana pi only has 1 SPI Unless I'm mistaken. I used SPI some time ago and IIRC simply adding spi-spidev to the overlay did the trick. The Banana pi has no Nand.

 

 

Hope this helps

 

THANKS!

I'll give it a try and let you know ;)
