I had two programs, one using DS18b20 sensors and the One-Wire and the other using SPI. On another pi, I had a program using the camera which had an error(still not sure what the error was) fixed by rpi-update. I wanted to run the three programs fro one pi so I used rpi-update and the two programs stopped working

My boot/config.txt file has

NOOBS Auto-generated Settings:

hdmi_force_hotplug=1
start_x=1
gpu_mem=144
dtparam=spi=on

dtoverlay=spi-bcm2708
dtoverlay=w1-gpio-pullup, gpiopin=17

But /sys/bus/w1/devices/ shows no temperature sensors but this instead

00-740000000000  00-f40000000000  w1_bus_master1

lsmod show

/etc/modprobe.d/raspi-blacklist.conf doesn't exist

and /etc/modules only shows i2c-dev

I updated and upgraded the system as well. Would ideally not like to downgrade the rpi-update

sudo vcdbg log msg shows

001778.709: Failed to load overlay 'spi-bcm2708'

"In normal circumstances there is NEVER a need to run rpi-update as it always gets you to the leading edge firmware and kernel and because that may be a testing version it could leave your RPi unbootable". https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=916911#p916911

Even the rpi-update documentation now warns "Even on Raspbian you should only use this with a good reason. This gets you the latest bleeding edge kernel/firmware."
sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install --reinstall raspberrypi-bootloader raspberrypi-kernel will put it back to the latest supported kernel/bootcode.

  • Hi! Thanks so much! Had no idea about that. Noted for the future That seems to have fixed the SPI. But any idea about the 1-wire? Edited the question to include more about that bit.

  • Never mind! Seems like removing the spaces in the line "dtoverlay=w1-gpio-pullup, gpiopin=17" fixed it. Strange that it's been working for weeks with that. But thanks so much again!
