    @marceloaqno It still doesn't work on my OPi Zero :confused:

    root@opi-zero-1:~/orangepi# bin/mysgw -d
    mysgw: Starting gateway...
    mysgw: Protocol version - 2.2.0-beta
    mysgw: MCO:BGN:INIT GW,CP=RNNG---,VER=2.2.0-beta

    I do have the /sys/class/gpio/export and I ran for A in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16; do echo "$A" > /sys/class/gpio/export ; done

    For the record, here's my OS:

    @mihai.aldea The gateway does the exporting when needed, you don't need to run:
    for A in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16; do echo "$A" > /sys/class/gpio/export ; done

    Could you send the output of this command?

    ls -lah /dev/spidev*

        in "orangepi one"(ubuntu os) there is not gpio folder in sys/class. but i think after run "modprobe gpio-sunxi" built a folder that name is "gpio_sw" and in this folder there are this files: normal_led,pa3,pa6,pa8 and 9,10,13,14,15,21 ,...

                @Reza I wouldn't even dream of not using Armbian on OrangePi and NanoPi. Compared to Raspbian it's years ahead in terms of optimization and tidyness. Armbian is the reason I'm avoiding RPi when possible. So go ahead and install a proper OS for your OPi. Not sure if Xenial or Debian, maybe we should wait for @marceloaqno to respond to my comment with the running OS.

                        I confirm it's not working on the OPi PC where TMRh20 works.

                              Hi All,

                              I put together the steps to get MySensors running on the OrangePi Zero:
                              Take note of the SPI part, 1 typo and you will not see /dev/spidev1.0

                              • Download and Install the ARMbian(debian) OS image
                                https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/

                              • Install sunxi-tools:
                                These tools are required to make changes in the boot area of the system

                              sudo apt-get update
                              sudo apt-get install sunxi-tools
                              
                              • How to add /dev/spidev1.0 (which is required since /dev/spidev0.0 is used for the onboard NAND flash)
                              cd /boot
                              bin2fex /boot/script.bin /root/myscript.txt
                              

                              Now edit /root/myscript.bin and add/change the following so it looks exactly like the part below:

                              [spi0]
                              spi_used = 1
                              spi_cs_bitmap = 1
                              spi_mosi = port:PC00<3><default><default><default>
                              spi_miso = port:PC01<3><default><default><default>
                              spi_sclk = port:PC02<3><default><default><default>
                              spi_cs0 = port:PC03<3><1><default><default>
                              	
                              [spi1]
                              spi_used = 1
                              spi_cs_bitmap = 1
                              spi_cs0 = port:PA13<2><1><default><default>
                              spi_sclk = port:PA14<2><default><default><default>
                              spi_mosi = port:PA15<2><default><default><default>
                              spi_miso = port:PA16<2><default><default><default>
                              	
                              [spi_devices]
                              spi_dev_num = 2
                              	
                              [spi_board0]
                              modalias = "spidev"
                              max_speed_hz = 33000000
                              bus_num = 0
                              chip_select = 0
                              mode = 0
                              full_duplex = 1
                              manual_cs = 0
                              	
                              [spi_board1]
                              modalias = "spidev"
                              max_speed_hz = 33000000
                              bus_num = 1
                              chip_select = 0
                              mode = 0
                              full_duplex = 1
                              manual_cs = 0
                              
                              • Then recompile the script file:
                              fex2bin /root/myscript.txt /boot/script.bin
                              

                              Reboot the system

                              reboot
                              

                              2 device files should exist now:

                              root@orangepizero:~# ls -l /dev/spi*

                              Load the gpio module

                              modprobe gpio-sunxi
                              

                              To load the module gpio-sunxi automagically load at boot time, add gpio-sunxi to /etc/modules

                              echo gpio-sunxi >> /etc/modules
                              
                              • Now it is time to install the GW.
                              cd /root
                              git clone https://github.com/marceloaqno/MySensors.git orangepi 
                              cd orangepi/ 
                              git pull origin spidev
                              ./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev1.0
                              make
                              

                              Working like a charm!

                              If you tested "/bin/mysgw -d" and all works as expected, make the installation permanent:

                              make install
                              

                              Additional
                              If you want to read data into a controller using a device file (i.e Mycontroller) use the build string below

                               ./configure --spi-spidev-device=/dev/spidev1.0  --my-gateway=serial --my-serial-is-pty --my-serial-pty=/dev/ttyMySensorsGateway
                              

                              Hope this helps!! have fun!!

                                Hi All,

                                I put together the steps to get MySensors running on the OrangePi Zero:
                                Take note of the SPI part, 1 typo and you will not see /dev/spidev1.0

                                • Download and Install the ARMbian(debian) OS image
                                  https://www.armbian.com/orange-pi-zero/

                                • Install sunxi-tools:
                                  These tools are required to make changes in the boot area of the system

                                sudo apt-get update
                                sudo apt-get install sunxi-tools
                                
                                • How to add /dev/spidev1.0 (which is required since /dev/spidev0.0 is used for the onboard NAND flash)
                                cd /boot
                                bin2fex /boot/script.bin /root/myscript.txt
                                

                                Now edit /root/myscript.bin and add/change the following so it looks exactly like the part below:

                                [spi0]
                                spi_used = 1
                                spi_cs_bitmap = 1
                                spi_mosi = port:PC00<3><default><default><default>
                                spi_miso = port:PC01<3><default><default><default>
                                spi_sclk = port:PC02<3><default><default><default>
                                spi_cs0 = port:PC03<3><1><default><default>
                                	
                                [spi1]
                                spi_used = 1
                                spi_cs_bitmap = 1
                                spi_cs0 = port:PA13<2><1><default><default>
                                spi_sclk = port:PA14<2><default><default><default>
                                spi_mosi = port:PA15<2><default><default><default>
                                spi_miso = port:PA16<2><default><default><default>
                                	
                                [spi_devices]
                                spi_dev_num = 2
                                	
                                [spi_board0]
                                modalias = "spidev"
                                max_speed_hz = 33000000
                                bus_num = 0
                                chip_select = 0
                                mode = 0
                                full_duplex = 1
                                manual_cs = 0
                                	
                                [spi_board1]
                                modalias = "spidev"
                                max_speed_hz = 33000000
                                bus_num = 1
                                chip_select = 0
                                mode = 0
                                full_duplex = 1
                                manual_cs = 0
                                
                                • Then recompile the script file:
                                fex2bin /root/myscript.txt /boot/script.bin
                                

                                Reboot the system

                                reboot
                                

                                2 device files should exist now:

                                root@orangepizero:~# ls -l /dev/spi*
                                crw------- 1 root root 153, 0 Jan 11 16:31 /dev/spidev0.0
                                crw------- 1 root root 153, 1 Jan 11 16:31 /dev/spidev1.0
                                

                                Load the gpio module

                                modprobe gpio-sunxi
                                

                                To load the module gpio-sunxi automagically load at boot time, add gpio-sunxi to /etc/modules

                                echo gpio-sunxi >> /etc/modules
                                
                                • Now it is time to install the GW.
                                cd /root

                                @Tag great! Thanks for the detailed explanation :clap:
                                I will add to the instructions page

                                  out of curiousity: this all relates to 3.x kernel in armbian right? which has proprietary stuff in there?

                                  i read somewhere that mainline 4.10 SPI is "work in progress"

                                  Orange Pi Plus 2e connected to nrf24 PA via SPI running git-development MySensors gateway, OpenHAB2, mosquitto and MySQL persistence.

                                    Yes correct, for OPI Zero only ARMbian 3.x is available as a download image.
                                    I used the debian jessie one

                                          Excellent work !!! It finally works, I believe the slight mistake was with the damn SPI device ID. Now that I've enabled /dev/spidev1.0 everything works perfect. Really nice job and awesome commitment to showing people that it's time for them to pull their heads out of their a.... and spend less for way more awesome boards because let's face it, RPi has the greatest community support but it's a nothing more than an expensive closed source crappy board.
