on the command line you can modify the device tree blobs with fdtget/fdtput to get the status of any given node: # fdtget /boot/dtb/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb /soc/spi@7e204000 status disabled to change the status of the node # fdtput --type s /boot/dtb/bcm2837-rpi-3-b.dtb /soc/spi@7e204000 status okay but i don't know if enabling the spi stuff in the dtb will make your device accessible my issue was i wanted to add an ethernet device to spi on fedora, and i had to actually patch dts files and rebuild the dtb completely _______________________________________________ arm mailing list -- arm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to arm-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
