SPI error with navio2 and px4

Hi there!

I am using a raspberry pi 4 and a navio2 shield and want to run px4 on it.

I just performed a clean install and closely followed these instructions:
https://docs.emlid.com/navio2/common/ardupilot/configuring-raspberry-pi/
https://dev.px4.io/master/en/setup/dev_env_linux_ubuntu.html
https://dev.px4.io/master/en/setup/building_px4.html

the compilation went fine, but when starting px4 with “sudo ./bin/px4 -s px4.config” i get the following output:

pi@navioglider:~/px4 $ sudo ./bin/px4 -s px4.config
INFO  [px4] assuming working directory is rootfs, no symlinks needed.

\_|     \/   \/     |_/

px4 starting.

my rpi only has spidev0.0, spidev0.1, spidev0.2 and spidev0.3, so it’s understandable that px4 cant open spidev0.36

but why is it trying? how can it be fixed?

Hi @navioglider,

I’m afraid we cannot be pretty sure of the interpretation of any things related to the PX4 workflow.

I’d suggest you contact the PX4 support to find out the cause for this error message.
