Hi,

Using “Debian 9.3 2018-01-28 4GB SD IoT” on a Seeed Studio BBGW, how do I enable SPI0 on the P9 expansion header? Specifically, having trouble changing modes of P9_17 and P9_22.

root@beaglebone:~/beaglebone-universal-io# ./config-pin P9_17 spi

Thanks.

Oh don't do that... config-pin was forked a while back and is already
pre-installed. By using that old version, nothing will sync up..

Doh, thank you!
