Hi @tobin
If you add dtdebug=on
to config.txt
the early boot that happens in the VideoCore 4 GPU will be logged.
To see the log after Linux is booted, use vcdbg log msg
.
Also see this “freshman” question thread in this forum.
(caveat, I’ve not (yet) used any SPI devices)
[edit]
I just now tried this on my Rpi3B+ with latest Nerves etc. and got the log ::
Failed to load overlay 'spi1-3cs'
brfs: File read: /mfs/sd/overlays/spi1-3cs.dtb
and sure enough, /boot/overlays
does not contain any spi1*.dt?
Drop the right .dtbo
in there and things might work
[edit++]
To "drop the right .dtbo
. . " you need to edit fwup.conf
to make sure the spi1-3cs.dtbo
file is copied in all the correct places.
