raspberry pi does not have /etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf

Question

I bought an PiFace and I want to follow this guide, but I don't have the raspi-blacklist.conf.

There were my steps so far:

1. I've installed my rpi by following this guide.
2. I've executed sudo rpi-update
3. I tried to find raspi-blacklist.conf

Does anybody have some insights for me?

Answer 1

I think Rasbian removed the whole default raspi-blacklist.conf file sometime ago. Instead of editing the /boot/config.txt as suggested by Stabby.

The better way of doing it without going to change the file is use raspi-config to change the setting for you.

sudo raspi-config

Then select

advance options

Select

A6 SPI  Enable/Disable automatic loading

and say yes to all the options.

You can also enable i2c here. reboot the system and you should see spidev0.0 and spidev0.1 in dev
