lgpio.error: 'GPIO busy' in test script, R.Pi 5 #60

Previous work on an R.Pi.4 is throwing an error on the R.Pi.5.

I'm using apa102_pi and the demo script therein:
https://github.com/tinue/apa102-pi/blob/main/runcolorcycle.py

and seeing a 'GPIO busy' exception. Configuration and exception dump follows. How to diagnose?

pinout

Description        : Raspberry Pi 5B rev 1.0
Revision           : d04170
SoC                : BCM2712
RAM                : 8GB

No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Debian  # raspi-OS via R.Pi Imager
Description:	Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
Release:	12
Codename:	bookworm

python --version
Python 3.11.2 # distro
venv is engaged

Prior to this situation I encountered:

  File "/noisebin/.venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/adafruit_blinka/microcontroller/bcm283x/pin.py", line 40, in init
    GPIO.setup(self.id, GPIO.IN)
RuntimeError: Cannot determine SOC peripheral base address

So chose to:

sudo apt remove python3-rpi.gpio
pip3 install rpi-lgpio

/boot/firmware/config.txt has:

dtparam=i2c_arm=on
dtparam=spi=on

[all]
dtoverlay=spi1-3cs

Have enabled SPI in raspi-config for good measure.

pinctrl gives:

116: ip    pd | lo // GPIO16 = input
117: ip    pd | lo // GPIO17 = input
118: ip    pd | lo // GPIO18 = input

gpioinfo says:

line  16:     "GPIO16"   "spi1 CS2"  output   active-low [used]
line  17:     "GPIO17"   "spi1 CS1"  output   active-low [used]
line  18:     "GPIO18"   "spi1 CS0"  output   active-low [used]

Issue follows. Results are identical if running under sudo.

Hello, thanks for the report. It's been a while since I last tried on a Raspberry Pi 5, but it worked at the time. I suspect a chance in Adafruit's Blinka library, which is imported by apa102. Unfortunately I can't test for at least a week, so a resolution might take a while.

Thanks, would at least welcome verification.

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce the error. I have the same Pi 5 revision as you, and I have fully updated/upgraded the OS, and upgraded all Python packages. See the list below.

There is one difference in my setup: After installing apa102-pi, I uninstall it right away (I only want the required dependencies). Then, I use the cloned apa102-pi, and run e.g. ./runcolorcycle.py. You seem to run e.g. .venv/lib/python3.11/site-packages/apa102_pi/driver/colorcycletemplate.py, while I would run ./apa102_pi/driver/colorcycletemplate.py. Could you try this as well?

Edit: I have this package installed by default via apt:

python3-rpi.gpio:
  Installed: 0.7.1~a4-1+b4

lgpio was installed via Adafruit-Blinka, I suspect. It's in the list below. It is not installed via apt, on my system.
