The official one for V2 Kits for RasPi 3: zynthian_gorgona_omega_rbpi3_kitv2-2018-04-03.img. Checked the SHA1 sum against the one on the wiki and it matched.
Yup, no dice.
Tried both, neither works. Haven’t tried disconnecting the 3-pin connector yet, I’ll give that a shot.
Haven’t tried anything with alsamixer yet, completely forgot that existed…
I’ll dig into journalctl and see what I can find out.
A software update hasn’t fixed the wifi issue, though, so I might have to dig into that post.
But the ‘Start WiFi’ option on the gui itself does nothing. Well, it starts up wpa_supplicant in the background, but that doesn’t appear to actually try to do anything useful.
Disconnected the jack-plug, no dice. Everything was cranked in alsamixer, no dice. No errors in journalctl. I’m going to re-burn a stock raspbian image on the card and see if I can get it the hifiberry working that way.
Testing with a new Rasbian lite install and configuring per the HiFiBerry page, I can confirm the DAC isn’t working. I’ll see if I bridged anything accidentally, but I’ll likely just have to get a new one…
WiFi worked without a hitch from the official image, by the way. Perhaps it’s time to re-base the Zynthian image to make sure that RasPi 3B+'s work out of the box?
The plot thickens… after swapping to a RasPi 3 (non plus), the HiFiBerry worked, using the same Raspbian install that failed on the 3B+. So… then I tried it on the 3B+ and it works now. I haven’t the slightest idea what just happened.
I’m reinstalling the Zynthian image now and maybe I’ll have good news?
Alright, so now the HiFiBerry works. So I need a workaround for the wifi and that’s it for this thread… but now I’m trying to get my MIDI In port to work. USB MIDI works fine, and the activity LED of the MIDI IN lights up when it’s receiving messages, but it doesn’t appear to be forwarding anything to the engines… any clues here?
I’m running several zynthians (built with official kits) with RBPi3 B+ & HifiBerry DAC+ without problems. It runs out the box. Just burn the SD image and plug. Zero problems with sound.
I’ve thinking that perhaps it’s a problem with the power source, Is it a good one with enough power out?
A decent 2 Amp power source is very recommended,
For the power supply, I’ve been using the official 2.5 amp supply from the Ras Pi foundation the whole time, so I don’t think that was the problem. It may have been a grounding issue — metal case, metal desk. I’m not sure, but it’s working now.
As for update — is it a new image, or do I just have to do the software update process through the admin menu?
Well, that didn’t make the WiFi work, and worse it seems to have broken the entire midi system aside from USB MIDI… even the Test MIDI function no longer works. Is there any way I can help you debug before I re-image?
I don’t mean to sound rude, but shouldn’t these changes be tested in dev before committing to production and risking making things worse without enough testing?
By the way, I also have a RB 3 B+ and WiFi is not available.
Sorry! We are trying to improve the development cycle to avoid this kind of errors.
The new ZynthianOS building system, that we are testing right now, will release images every day and will be easy to create development and production images, among others:
OK! I’ve found the problem. The wifi firmware was not updating correctly.
It’s fixed now and a software update from the admin menu or command line should be enough.
If still not working, try burning a fresh SD with the last Gorgona Omega image and then update software.
