Hi,
I am trying to activate a couple SPI lines using the config-pin tool. I have my HDMI disabled, and if I run “config-pin -q” on any of these pins I get back “default”. However when I run the following commands, I just get “ERROR: write() to /sys/devices/platform/ocp/ocp:P9_13_pinmux/state failed, no such device”
config-pin P9.13 spi_sclk
Is this no longer the way to set this up? Thanks for your help.
It’s best to use an spi overlay. If you run and report the output of:
sudo beagle-version
We can fine tune why that didn’t work.
Regards,

Sure thing, here you go. Is there a good spi template around I could use?

Would it be possible for me to just modify the numbers in those overlays to the desired pins (P9.13-16 and P8.33-36) and recompile to the .dtbos? I’m updating a legacy system and avoiding a hardware change.
Most of those are not offical modes for the pin: boneDeviceTree/docs at master · derekmolloy/boneDeviceTree · GitHub
I hope you counted wrong, otherwise your going to be using the emulated spi-gpio driver…

Nope, this is just what previous devs had done. It seems that a working spi link for similar purposes just used
config-pin P9.13 gpio_pd
In place of what I tried:
config-pin P9.13 spi_sclk
This has been reliably working for an older kernel version (~2020) so I suppose I’ll try that first…
What do you mean by an emulated spi-gpio driver?
Well those gpio_xyz are valid options for P9.13 → P9.16, and why your spi_xyz options failed…
Emulated/BitBang/etc… Manually toggling gpio pins to emulate spi bus, that’s exactly what the spi-gpio driver does… spi-gpio.c « spi « drivers - kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git - Linux kernel source tree
DeviceTree docs: spi-gpio.yaml « spi « bindings « devicetree « Documentation - kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git - Linux kernel source tree

Aha – yes my setup is BitBanged SPI. I think it just does this on the PRU.
Thanks a ton! This helped.
Oh Cool! yeah if done right the pru is another option. Too much thinking about only the cortex-A8 side…
