Hi Sebastian,

indeed I’m using raspian with kernel 4.4.y, I’ll compile kernel 4.1 and try again all stuffs. Thanks for help, I’ll write about my results.

Cheers,

Hi,

the new Tutorial https://github.com/RIOT-Makers/wpan-raspbian/wiki/Create-a-generic-Raspbian-image-with-6LoWPAN-support

works great. I’ve managed to run everything on RPI 2 and 3 without problems :slight_smile:

Thanks,

for info. This is not an issue of linux mainline kernel. It seems the current 4.4 raspberry kernel spi controller driver is broken in some ways...

Maybe it's only happend when doing large bulk transfer e.g. transfer framebuffer.

Nevertheless 4.4 will not be the latest LTS kernel anymore, could be 4.9 [0] and hopefully raspbian use 4.9 then...

so it should work out of the box with 4.9 - until they broke again spi with their own rpi patches.
