VIM1S SPI

SPI interface can be founded on VIM1s GPIO header

SPI Pin Pin name GPIO name DT overlay node Device node
VIM3/3L SPI_B 15 SPIB_SS GPIOH_6 spi1 /dev/spidev1.1
16 SPIB_SCLK GPIOH_7
35 SPIB_MISO GPIOH_5
37 SPIB_MOSI GPIOH_4
VIM4 SPI_A 25 SPI_A_SCLK GPIOT_20 spi0 /dev/spidev1.0
26 SPI_A_SS0 GPIOT_21
36 SPI_A_MOSI GPIOT_18
37 SPI_A_MISO GPIOT_19
VIM1S SPI_A 29 SPI_A_MOSI GPIOZ_1
31 SPI_A_CLK GPIOZ_2
32 SPI_A_MISO GPIOZ_0
33 SPI_A_SS0 GPIOZ_3

Enable SPI

In order to use the SPI, you need to enable the SPI function via Device Tree Overlay.

VIM3/3L/Edge1

Edit /boot/env.txt to add the SPI node to overlays node if it doesn't exist.

Take VIM3 as an example to enable SPI_B, you need to add spi1 node to overlays node if it doesn't exist.

overlays=spi1

As SPI pins are also used for other function, e.g. UART_C, PWM_F, so that you also need to remove node uart3 and pwm_f.

After reboot, you will see the spi device node.

$ ls /dev/spidev1.1
/dev/spidev1.1

VIM3 with 5.15 kernel

Edit /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim3.dtb.overlay.env to add spi node to fdt_overlays node if it doesn't exist.

e.g. Enable SPI_B, you need to add spi1 to node fdt_overlays if it doesn't exist.

fdt_overlays=spi1

After reboot, you will see the SPI device node.

VIM3L with 5.15 kernel

Edit /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim3l.dtb.overlay.env to add spi node to fdt_overlays node if it doesn't exist.

e.g. Enable SPI_B, you need to add spi1 to node fdt_overlays if it doesn't exist.

fdt_overlays=spi1

After reboot, you will see the SPI device node.

VIM4

Edit /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim4.dtb.overlay.env to add spi node to fdt_overlays node if it doesn't exist.

e.g. Enable SPI_A, you need to add spi0 to node fdt_overlays if it doesn't exist.

fdt_overlays=spi0

After reboot, you will see the SPI device node.

$ ls /dev/spidev1.0 
/dev/spidev1.0

VIM1S

Edit /boot/dtb/amlogic/kvim1s.dtb.overlay.env to add spi node to fdt_overlays node if it doesn't exist.

e.g. Enable SPI_A, you need to add spi0 to node fdt_overlays if it doesn't exist.

fdt_overlays=spi0

After reboot, you will see the SPI device node.

$ ls /dev/spidev1.0 
/dev/spidev1.0

Disable SPI

If you want to use normal GPIO instead of SPI, you can remove the SPI node in Device Tree Overlay.
