spi_master spi0: spi0.1: timeout transferring

BeerGeek

In the Neuron and AXON I have a lot of the same errors (1000+ per day) in /var/log/messages

Oct 11 14:47:05 control kernel: [183869.394758] spi_master spi0: spi0.1: timeout transferring 4 bytes@12000000Hz for 24(20)ms
Oct 11 15:10:30 control kernel: [185274.808880] spi_master spi0: spi0.1: timeout transferring 16 bytes@12000000Hz for 24(20)ms
Oct 11 15:20:23 control kernel: [185867.652716] spi_master spi0: spi0.1: timeout transferring 16 bytes@12000000Hz for 24(20)ms

Any idea, how to fix that? Can't find any info in web...

Hi @beergeek,
can you please post what versions of our packages do you use?

And also what versions of firmware do you have in the boards:

sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -i 0
sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -i 1
sudo /opt/unipi/tools/fwspi -i 2

Thanks,
Martin

It was the last year with all versions. Just now want to fix this, because all the logs with these errors. Neuron and AXON have the same latest versions, the difference is only in the packages "axon-kernel-*".
