Stupid question about SPI: multi-threaded access

I'd have to assume the answer is "yes," but is there anything in the SPI system that insures that simultaneous access to /dev/spidev0.0 and /dev/spidev0.1 wind up being properly interleaved rather than just step on each other? I have a potential use case where the two would be opened by separate pro...

Re: Pi Zero gadget serial hangs on shutdown

It appears (not quite yet confirmed completely, however) that adding -w to the agetty command line solves this problem. To do this, you need to go to /lib/systemd/system and copy getty@.service to gadget-getty@.service and then modify it. In addition to adding -w to ExecStart, you sort of want to ma...

Re: Pi Zero gadget serial hangs on shutdown

I think you're confused. This is the gadget serial configuration. That is, tuning the Pi Zero into a USB *target*. That's why it's ttyGS0.

It's the dwc2 dtoverlay and module along with g_serial.

Re: Overlay to remap Pi 3 UART

After further research, it appears that

Pi Zero gadget serial hangs on shutdown

I've set up a getty on ttyGS0 in the usual manner (I'm running up-to-date Jessie). What I find is that if there is no host connected to the USB port that attempting to reboot or halt the pi hangs. I don't have a console connected, so I don't have a whole lot more info, but I suspect it has to do wit...

Pi Zero SPI fails without spi0-hw-cs

I'm using a MAX6951 to drive a clock display. The source code is here.

I've found that if I don't use the spi0-hw-cs overlay, the CS line doesn't work correctly, but with it, it works perfectly.

I'm using up-to-date Jessie on a Zero 1.3.

Anybody have any idea what's going on?

Re: Pi 3 - no wifi or bt ?

I figured out BT. I was unable to add pi-bluetooth, because wheezy doesn't have that package, but upgrading the whole system to jessie made it available.

This post: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=138137 has the solution. Two files are missing from /lib/firmware/brcm. I was able to fill in the missing files from https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree At least, that made wlan0 show up. hciconfig -a still shows nothing.

Pi 3 - no wifi or bt ?

I had a Pi 2 and before moving the SD card to a new Pi 3, I did:

Code: Select all

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
rpi-update
reboot
So far as I can tell, everything on the 3 looks as it should, but I don't see any evidence of the BT or Wifi.

Is there another step required to get them to show up?

Re: GPIO Permissions Denied

Overnight I've gotten some replies elsewhere. It turns out this isn't a bug in sysfs, but it is a consequence of having udev set the file permissions. There's inevitably going to be a race between the creation of the node with the "wrong" permissions and the rectification of those permissions by ude...

Re: GPIO Permissions Denied

According to this post on stackexchange, this appears to be some sort of race condition bug. Adding a strategic delay immediately after the export operation solves the problem.
