Please open this stuff in a github issue here.
Its really hard to keep conversations here. And it fills the thread.
@jofemodo Any ideas?

guysoft · February 25, 2018, 2:19pm

Also, had some progress in qemu, didn’t push yet, but there is an armv7 kernel out there. You can follow talks here:

C0d3man · February 26, 2018, 1:11pm

Hmmm… strange. Yesterday I tried and started an engine. After some played keys the system freezes. I restarted and than it worked. Until now I cannot reproduce this problem.

Regards, Holger

guysoft · March 5, 2018, 9:06pm

So I created a hotspot module. We could now make zynthian start a hotspot that lets you connect and set it up when it fails to connect to wifi.
Just the sort of things that can be extended now.

mheidt · March 5, 2018, 9:21pm

please make a topic in webconf and tell me what has to be done to change the name and turn it on and off.
The show stopper for me is the failing Pianoteq engine btw.

guysoft · March 14, 2018, 9:10am

New Raspberrypi released today! 3 B+
And you know what is cool with CustomPiOS?
That I can build a nightly which can supports it by the end of the day

C0d3man · March 14, 2018, 9:20am

I think it’s the same architecture as the “normal” RPi3. So IMHO no special optimizations are needed, or?

guysoft · March 14, 2018, 10:09am

Not that I know of.
However any images prior to the one released today would not work according to the image released today.
And they changed behavior of the wifi firmware changes.
See the release notes.
We are quite used in OctoPi that when a new Pi is released, since the Rpi Foundation does not release any release candidates, bugs are discovered in our nighties.

C0d3man · March 16, 2018, 12:00pm

@guysoft

There’s a problem building ZynthianOS (related to the compiler errors):

zynthian_envars.sh: model=cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model 2>/dev/null`

In the env system of Zynthian it tries to detect the used model (RPi2 or 3). But in the qemu environment this can’t be done:

/bin/cat: /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model: No such file or directory

So the compiler flags for the RPi2 are used as default. I changed the default to use the RPi3 flags - but the problem is the automatic detection inside zynthian_envars.sh. I have not much clues about CustoPiOS/ZynthianOS, so I have no idea how to fix it…

Regards, Holger

Will not have Realtime until this is fixed: https://github.com/guysoft/RealtimePi/issues/9

guysoft · March 17, 2018, 1:57pm

Can you link to where you changed it?
@jofemodo is there a point to build Zynthian for anything other than arm64?

C0d3man · March 17, 2018, 2:10pm

I changed /zynthian/zynthian-sys/zynthian_envars.sh (line 79) to:

    CPU="-mcpu=cortex-a53"
    FPU="-mfpu=neon-fp-armv8 -mneon-for-64bits"
    model=`cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model 2>/dev/null`
    if [[ ${model} =~ [2] ]]; then
            CPU="-mcpu=cortex-a7 -mthumb"
            FPU="-mfpu=neon-vfpv4"
    fi

So the default are the flags for RPi3, no matter if the cat ... works or not.

Regards, Holger

guysoft · March 17, 2018, 2:24pm

Ok, thanks but please link the commits when you post this stuff, because I wanted to know both when and where

Moreover, when you say “I changed”, where did you actually change it? The file in git was not edited the last 3 months:

C0d3man · March 17, 2018, 2:27pm

I changed this in my personal repo - and havn’t committed yet… so the only way was to explain this via forum-thread

guysoft · March 17, 2018, 4:14pm

You can also link to your branch
For example, I have this one: https://github.com/guysoft/zynthian-sys/tree/realtimepi-test

I admit I am not sure how you guys worked until now, and I don’t want to impose order, but suggestions kinda pop up to me. So please say if you want to adopt something or not, or want me to say less.

mheidt · March 17, 2018, 4:29pm

When there is gihub task, i start the comment with # < no > . Easy and i like to keep it that way.
I don’t want to link with this forum

mheidt · March 17, 2018, 4:31pm

i tried to make your build run.

Still an internal 500 error when webconf is called.
When I tried to look at it:
ssh pi@zynthian.local
ssh: connect to host zynthian.local port 22: Connection refused

But hey, at least I got a ping

guysoft · March 17, 2018, 9:58pm

I think there is a bug that ssh works only on second boot (only when hotspot module is enabled, so I need to debug the hotspot module and find which line causes that). Would be nice if you can confirm that.

mheidt · March 17, 2018, 10:18pm

yes, I could get in the second time.
