Steps to reproduce

Hello DietPi Community,

I’m trying to enable SPI on my DietPi setup but haven’t been able to find the option in dietpi-config.

Here’s some additional info about my setup:

Steps I’ve already tried:

  1. Edited /boot/config
  2. Rebooted the system and checked with lsmod | grep spi, but no SPI modules are loaded.

Is there a specific step I’m missing, or how do I enable SPI on this DietPi version?

Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Expected behaviour

Actual behaviour

best to my knowlage, /boot/config.txt ha no effect on Radxa device as config.txt as a RPI SBC configuration file. You would need to enable SPI/overlay on /boot/dietpiEnv.tx

I don’t have a Radxa device, but maybe following could help Can't get SPI to work with Rock Pi 4 - #4 by Nasker
