Hello all,
This may be oriented more to BeagleBone Black than volumio OS, but I will need help with enabling the SPI port 0 or 1. I attempted to do the instructions on the following link without success,
embedded-basics.blogspot.com/201 … black.html
But when I reboot the BBB, I try “ls -al /dev/spidev*”, there is no spi devices on the /dev directory. Do anyone has successfully enabled the SPI on the Beaglebone using Volumio 1.5? I really need this for my TFT LCD project =)
Hi, I was able to enable the SPI0 device. But in order to enable the SPI 1 device, I will need to disable the HDMI and eMMC. I wrote the following lines on the uEnv.txt found on the sdcard on my windows host,
##BeagleBone Black:
##Disable HDMI/eMMC
cape_disable=capemgr.disable_partno=BB-BONELT-HDMI,BB-BONELT-HDMIN,BB-BONE-EMMC-2G
##Enable SPIDEVx:
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-SPIDEV1
cape_enable=capemgr.enable_partno=BB-SPIDEV0
Then I installed the sdcard back to the BBB and power on. But when I check if there is any /dev/spi* devices present, there are none and the hdmi is still enabled. Is there any additional steps that Im missing that needs to be done on volumio image?
