"probe of spi0.0 failed with error -16" error when interfacing SPI LCD

Question

I have a arm-based computer with armbian OS, and a LCD that I want to connect it with SPI protocol. When I use this command:

sudo modprobe fbtft_device custom name=fb_ili9341 gpios=reset:198,dc:201,led:6 speed=16000000 rotate=90 bgr=1

I get this error in dmesg:

[   68.421997] fbtft_device:  SPI devices registered:

[   68.433657] fb_ili9341: probe of spi0.0 failed with error -16

I checked the error number here http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/include/uapi/asm-generic/errno-base.h#L15 and it says : Device or resource busy But pins are free and changing the pin didn't solve the problem!

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I did comment this line #gpio_sunxi in the /etc/modules file and the problem solved!
