I did all the things mentioned here and checked the boot logs.... then nothing appeared...

So, it reach login prompt, you've logged in an still don't see the /dev/spidev0.0 ?

What shows up doing "grep SPIDEV /boot/config-*" ?

It should show :

CONFIG_SPI_SPIDEV=m

Which kernel are you using ?

It should show :

well, I meant nothing appeared, so the screen is remaining black after the boot


I can check /var/log/bootstrap.log with other LINUX machine but can this show the latest log?

 

 

 

for the kernel version, 

"uname -r" returns "4.4.162-rk3399"

Should I upgrade this kernel?

Well, as said before, use the USB-TTL Serial, when reaching the login prompt, log into it, then do "dmesg" to see complete boot log.

Of course you can try the latest mainline, which is the one I use on my T4, but maybe something else will be missing, depending of your needs...

I mean, when I tried as I usually do with USB-TTL, unfortunately the screen is just black, shows nothing ( implying no data coming via UART-TTL? )

If this makes no sense, sorry for that but this is what I got so far...

Now Im using this legacy kernel just because it is distributed here https://www.armbian.com/nanopi-m4/

If there are some possibilities that SPI can work by updating the latest mainline, I'm happy to do that but I would like you to tell me how, I couldn't find the method

You must have wired it incorrectly by swapping TX/RX ...

Even if you have done something wrong in DTB, you should see the u-boot logs followed by kernel logs with "console=serial" in /boot/armbianEnv.txt

There is Mainline nightly build here : https://dl.armbian.com/nanopim4/Debian_stretch_dev_nightly.7z

well I checked the connection so many times so it should be correct

Also, with a default DTB I can log in via UART with the following command 

% sudo screen -L /dev/tty.usbserial-FTADURC2 1500000

 

I attached the pic of my USB-TTL on nano pi so you can check it

I will try with this kernel 

EDIT: good news. with the nightly, nano pi booted after editing the DTB

/dev/spidev0.0 appeared so I tested with it but nothing happened, I remembered that spi0 is for other use

I'll try with the other spi, not spi@ff1d0000 

->well, with spi@ff1e0000 spidev0.0 appeared...and this doesn't work

I think something was wrong so I'll try again 

->

whichever spi@ff1***** I edited, /dev/spidev0.0 always appeared 

I edited rk3399-nanopi4-rev01.dtb but this isn't the DTB that I should fix?

by accident I destroyed that file and I rebooted it but it was fine and the results were the same....

I succeeded to boot spi1.0 somehow...

I edited device tree by following your way and I got the result below

$ dmesg | grep spi

and /dev/spidev1.0 appeared (by default, this was spidev0.0 but after I added spi1 = "/spi@ff1d0000" to aliases in dts, the spidev1.0 appeared)

 

I felt so happy this time and tested that spidev1.0 function with spidev_test.c

and I got following result again...

Quote

spi mode: 0x0

bits per word: 8

max speed: 500000 Hz (500 KHz)

 I'm using spidev1.0 this time but this result again... 

what can I do now...?
