raspi-config on Ubuntu 16.04

Question

i wanted to enable SPI on my raspberry pi 3 but in ubuntu mate it says the command "raspi-config" is not found, what is the alternative to this?

Answer 1

Raspi-config is now installed on Ubuntu Mate by default. You can call it just the same as on Raspbian, and it works the same.

I know this is an old thread, but this may still be helpful to someone.

Answer 2

sudo apt-get install raspi-config

did it for me. It was not availlable by default on my Mate-version on Raspi2. Now I can start raspi-config in order to enable SPI. TNX @Mohanad Kaleia, @Jacobm001, @hat and OP @Ralph

Answer 3

You have to manually edit config.txt to enable the Device Tree overlay. raspi-config is just a front end to the various configuration files.

AFAIK the SPI entry is there, but commented out (mine have been modified so many times I don't know the default).

Read the README in overlays for more detail.

Answer 4

This is the steps for ubuntu 18.04, maybe it will help you:

sudo echo "deb http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/ jessie main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 7FA3303E
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install raspi-config

Answer 5

You can install it on Ubuntu Mate:

sudo apt-get install raspi-config
