A few days ago I described my problem here: kernel was not calling
my driver's _match() and _attach(). The workaround was actually
pretty simple. Slightly modifying .dtb file made bcmspi bus appear.
Now I just can't get RPI model B rev 2 to send anything through SPI bus:
* dmesg(8) shows bcmspi, spi(4) and mydev connected and configured:
$ dmesg | grep spi
[ 1.000000] bcmspi0 at simplebus1: SPI
[ 1.000000] bcmspi0: interrupting on icu irq 54
[ 1.000000] spi0 at bcmspi0: SPI bus
[ 1.000000] mydev0 at spi0 slave 0
* spi_send() and spi_configure() both return 0
* I'm sure all my connections are fine because I've tested my setup
with another SPI master
Seems like it silently tells everything is okay, while in fact it
isn't.
I also looked through Raspberry Pi documentation, to be more precise
through overlays and dtb's section. It seems that NetBSD 10.0 for
evbarm/RPI doesn't have any overlays. So I manually downloaded spi1-1cs.dtbo
from RPI's firmware repo:
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/blob/master/boot/overlays/spi1-1cs.dtbo
and placed it in /boot/overlays. Also I modified config.txt to make
bootloader search for this overlay.
# mkdir /boot/overlays
# cp spi1-1sc.dtbo /boot/overlays/
# tail /boot/config.txt
...
dtoverlay=spi1-1cs,cs0_spidev=off
>From RPI's README.txt:
> Name: spi1-1cs Info:
> Enables spi1 with a single chip select (CS) line and associated
spidev dev node.
I guess that should configure pins for SPI use, but still, no
progress in my case.
Later I hooked Arduino and wrote simple scetch that digitalRead()'s
in loop too see if CLK and MOSI change somehow. They are always low
for whatever reason.
How am I supposed to make my single SPI interface work?
A lot of documentation regarding FDT, overlays and so on
describes stuff in context of Raspbian, but not NetBSD.
I'll be grateful for any resources/information you provide regarding
this
