I have an ADC and DAC board built for Raspberry Pi which has 2 slaves on the SPI bus, requiring ce0 and ce1. This works fine on the Raspberry pi 3, which installs devices /dev/spidevo.0 and also /dev/spidev/0.1,  to access each slave.   On the OPi PC I can access slave 0, but not slave 1. In /dev on the Opi there is only a single spidev device: /dev/spidev0.0 and no spidev0.1 device. I have modified the script.bin (I am using Armbian legacy OS) by editing the .fex to add a spi_cs1 = portC07<3><default><default><default>   line. But this prevents any spidev device from loading, even spidev0.0 is now missing.
I have tried many variations to add a spi_cs1  connection in the fex file, but noothing works. the OPi pinout description includes SPI-CE1 (header pin 26) but how can i make this active?

How can I make the spi system on the OPi PC work with 2 slave devices on the bus as the rasberry pi does easily?

There is information on Russian below.

But I don't know where PA15/PA16 is.

Thanks nopnop2002. I upgraded the kernel to 3.4.113-sun8i. But I still only have /dev/spidev0.0. Note that the image above shows spidev1.0 - this is not what i am asking about. It is a second spi bus, but again with only a single slave, slave 0.   I need a single spi bus which has 2 slaves 0.0 and 0.1. I cannot read the russian site for further information. Perhaps there is a differen w1-sunxi module around somewhere but the new module with the 113 upgrade did not give me a second SPI bus. Changing the script.bin (using .fex) to add PA21 as ce1 still completely removes all SPI devices.

OK i understood.

When you'd like to control more than 2 of SLAVE device.
It's necessary to decide Chip Select Signal using external device.
Please refer this topic.

I tried this circuit.(I want OPI Fritzing parts)
Left :MCP3204
Right :MCP3002

It work fine by this code.
Please try.
  1. /*
  2. * Read MPC3002/MCP3204 with wiringPiSPIDataRW
  3. */
  4. #include <stdio.h>
  5. #include <stdlib.h>

Thanks. I followed your idea and used 2 spare GPIO pins as device selects, which i drive from the code. I have then been able to use device access through /dev/spidev0.0 for both devices, rather than using wiringPiSPIDataRW (...)   This avoids the need for me to use the device setup/access data strings as I can rely on the library provided by the manufacturer of the ADC-DAC card i am using.
