How to enable spi interface for orange pi winplus sbc

ironmantis7x

I have a waveshare 10.1 inch hdmi touch panel and an Orange pi winplus a64 SBC.


I want to activate the spi interface and attach the orange pi winplus to the waveshare 10.1 inch display via the 26 gpio pins.


I have turned on the spi and ic21 and ic20 interfaces in armbian-config.


However, the display says "No Signal" when I try to use the spi interface with the display.


I referenced this tutorial as a guide:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/q ... fd2a2664996399b3fed


And this documentation as well:


https://docs.armbian.com/Hardware_Allwinner_overlays/ am not getting something quite right as the orange pi doesnt recognize the display.

I need to figure out what I need to do.
Do I need a .dots overlay file as well?
