Raspbian enable SPI module

sorry if this is not the right forum for this question but I can't find the answer anywhere. I'm working on a raspberry pi project which requires the SPI module to be loaded. I can't get it to load. Here's what I've done

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo rpi-update

Here's what my blacklist.conf file looks like

#blacklist spi and i2c by default (many users don't need them)
#blacklist spi-bcm2708
blacklist i2c-bcm2708

I've rebooted several times with no luck. When I run sudo uname -a I get

Linux raspberrypi 3.18.5+ #744 PREEMPT Fri Jan 30 18:19:07 GMT2015 armv6l GNU/Linux
Solution

  • See http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=97314 Fixed my i2c and one-wire interfaces. This is required with the new kernal upgrade to 3.18.5 on Jan 21st.
