missing i2c module

[honeylocustfarmer]

hello all,

would someone give me a hand with a missing i2c_rk3x_i2c1 module? after installing GPIO_API_for_C and using gpio load i2c [100], i get:

linaro@linaro-alip:~$ sudo gpio load i2c [100]
modprobe: FATAL: Module i2c_rk3x_i2c1 not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.71+
gpio: Unable to load i2c_rk3x_i2c1

if i enter the unload command. i get:

linaro@linaro-alip:~$ gpio unload i2c
gpio: Unable to load/unload modules as this Pi has the device tree enabled.
  You need to run the raspi-config program (as root) and select the
  modules (SPI or I2C) that you wish to load/unload there and reboot.
  There is more information here:
      https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewt...28&t=97314

... which i am reading now ..

i don't yet know anything about a device tree, im new to linux and i haven't played with a raspberry pi yet.

i have had the same error on tinkerOS 1.8, 2.0 and mikerrs 2.0.1

there was also i decent youtube video i followed here: https://youtu.be/cM70DFUDB8I

still no module though.

i haven't found anything on google or this forum yet. im about to go through the videos steps again just for fun


thanks in advance,
        michael

the raspberrypi forums solution is to edit a "raspi-config", and understandably isn;t appearing on tinkerOS. is there an asus equivalent?

it may be equivalent to the /etc/modules test file that the video shows...

Nobody?

i2c advance option in tinker-config is not active., no matter what I try, edit etc modules and boot config nothing work for me.

This is very old post, But I just want to ask. How did you edit your etc modules to enable I2C? I'm stuck on.

I guess you haven't search much, because if you did you could find something like this
