Hi all,

I'm trying to communicate with a TPM 2.0 (infineon,slb9670) over SPI on a Raspberry Pi 3 in barebox.

CONFIG_SPI=y
CONFIG_DRIVER_SPI_GPIO=y
CONFIG_CMD_SPI=y

are set in the barebox configuration and

dtparam=spi=on

is set in the /boot/config.txt on the raspberry pi.

But when checking /dev/ on barebox, there is nothing related to spi except cs0.

I would have expected something similiar to /dev/spidev0.0 showing up.

Did I miss any configurations?

Best Regrds,

Kai Che

I you want to communicate with a SPI device directly without the driver, there's the 'spi' command. It directly uses internal functions without the need of any file in /dev/.

We don't have any bcm283x SPI driver in barebox. You probably already noticed that and enable the spi-gpio driver for this reason. However, you'll need the appropriate device nodes (Compatible to "spi-gpio") and the pinctrl setup to make this work.
