Re: activation of SPI on fedora26 with a raspberry3

[Reflective Surface <wellpolishedmirror@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Christophe,

Were you able to get spi working?

I followed the same steps as listed in this thread and got the same error message in dmesg.

Hello, 

I applied these commands:

fdtput --type s /boot/dtb-4.12.13-300.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb /soc/spi@7e204000 status "okay"

fdtput --type s /boot/dtb-4.12.13-300.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb /soc/spi@7e215080 status "okay"

fdtput --type s /boot/dtb-4.12.13-300.fc26.armv7hl/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb  /soc/spi@7e2150c0 status "okay"

And now I see spi_bcm2835 and spi_bcm2835aux modules started, after the reboot. But I can't see my /dev/spi* devices. 

Do you have an idea of the missing step? 

[root@raspchr-fed26 device-tree]# dmesg | grep spi

[   93.646629] spi-bcm2835 3f204000.spi: no tx-dma configuration found - not using dma mode

[root@raspchr-fed26 device-tree]# 

I still see other devices: 

./soc/gpio@7e200000/spi0_gpio35

./soc/gpio@7e200000/spi0_gpio7

./soc/gpio@7e200000/spi1_gpio16

./soc/gpio@7e200000/spi2_gpio40

Do I need to activate them ? 

Thanks for your help. 

Christophe.

Thanks for your answer, Yes I added these 2 lines in the config.txt file like for the raspbain . 

So What do I have to do with the dtb files. I see nothing regarding the spi. 

Do I still have to use the config.txt file ? 

Thanks for your help.

Did you add that to config.txt? That way of doing it is specific to
Rasspian, the driver in Fedora is the upstream driver which is
spi-bcm2835aux and you'll need to either edit the dtb to enable it or
use a DT overlay as it's disabled by default.
