Zynthian Buster Raspberry 4 test

lguyome45 · August 15, 2019, 11:35am

Hi,
I make a new thread to tell all working plugins and problems.

I download the nighty build 587.
I have official zynthian kit2+.
First run:
Zynthian boot, encoder not working -> go to webconf and set kit V2+, encoder now works

With my personnal build, wifi does not works -> same here when going to webconf and try setting wifi hotspod, I get can’t start Wifi hotspot. Will try to look later.

Aeolus works only if I run ssh -X -> issue 58

For Dexed, I try to compile but had a message about missing file /lvtk.synth.hpp
Internet tell me I need to install lvtk-dev, same error, I change the makefile of Dexed, replacing all lvtk-plugin-2 by lvtk-1
The compilation seems ok, lv2 plugins is created but don’t work on Zynthian.

i noted that some weeks ago and reported on Debian tracking system:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=931810

As you can see, there is a kind of patch available, but it’s not integrated yet. I will push that ASAP

Regarding the dexed compilation problem, perhaps @C0d3man can help with that …

C0d3man · August 16, 2019, 3:59pm

I really would like to help but I don’t have an RPi4. I also currently have no free RPi for buster and testing… But next week I can take one from my office for testings.

lvtk-dev is the library which handles all the LV2 things, so it is easier to parse all the needed TTL-files. Can you try to load dexed with jalv? Or what does “don’t work on Zynthian” exactly means? Do other synths work with jalv?

Regards, Holger

For moment I don’t have time to test.
Other plugins works normally.
When start dexed, the logo on zynthian move all the time, I can’t back with the encoder.
I try with MOD-UI, same error.
I will put log next time I run some test.

C0d3man · August 16, 2019, 4:05pm

Wow - your response was very fast!

Ah, ok. Good to know.

Ok, I see: I have to buy my first RPi4 and have to setup a new testsystem…
@jofemodo: Do you sell v3 kits with RPi4(4GB)?

Regards, Holger

lguyome45 · August 16, 2019, 4:11pm

If you have some idea, I can test.
Do you think the problem can be compilation flag:
The makefile have the compilation flag for all Raspberry except 4:

Raspberry Pi B+, Zero, etc

ifneq (,$(findstring armv6l,$(machine)))
CPU = -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s
FPU = -mfpu=vfp
endif

Raspberry Pi 2 and 3

ifneq (,$(findstring armv7l,$(machine)))
model = $(shell sh -c ‘cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model 2>/dev/null || echo unknown’)
ifneq (,$(findstring 3,$(model)))
CPU = -mcpu=cortex-a53
FPU = -mfpu=neon-fp-armv8
else
CPU = -mcpu=cortex-a7 -mthumb
FPU = -mfpu=neon-vfpv4
endif
FPU += -mneon-for-64bits
endif

Maybe we need to tell the compiler the good CPU?

C0d3man · August 16, 2019, 4:25pm

I havn’t took a look at specific compiler options for the RPi4 yet. But perhaps they are the problem. Why not removeing all options and see if it works? Optimizations can be done later.

Regards, Holger

jofemodo · August 17, 2019, 2:30am

Not yet, my friend. Aluminum case is been redesigned and manufacturing take some time too. And of course, a new case with new RBPi is enough for adding a unit to the kit number: v4

For sure, not before 2020 …

Regards,

lguyome45 · August 17, 2019, 7:05am

Hi C0deman,
I remove all flag in the makefile.
run command make clean, make and make install

When running, Zynthian logo run continuously.

C0d3man · August 18, 2019, 3:52pm

It seems like the lvtk library is not compatible. Is the used version installed from Raspian or from github?

Regards, Holger

C0d3man · August 18, 2019, 3:54pm

Ok. Perhaps I should wait… until they also fixed the USB-power-problem , perhaps.

lguyome45 · August 19, 2019, 7:56am

The lvtk is from Raspbian.
I remove from my system, clone lvtk, build and same problem.

In the master src directory, the file synth.hpp does not exist, I look on branches, and find the branch 1.x with this file.
I clone this branch, make the build, and when building Dexed, I did not found the file lvtk-plugin-2.pc -> lvtk have lvtk-plugin-1.pc, I rename and Dexed builds and works
I make a pull request https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-sys/pull/116

@C0d3man thanks you for the advices

C0d3man · August 19, 2019, 8:35am

Very cool! Thanks for trying and fixing @lguyome45!

jofemodo · August 19, 2019, 9:19am

The
AFAIK, the LV2 libraries are compiled from fresh code in the build process. Zynthian images doesn’t use the LV2 from the distro.

Regards,

lguyome45 · August 19, 2019, 9:36am

I think I need to burn a new image, I made many test, and I maybe make some mistake that avoid dexed to compile normally.

I check the log of the last build ofr lvtk:

lvtk lib is compiled from source but the file synth.hpp that is needed by dexed does not exit in this branch.

The modification I made, compile an old branch of lvtk to make Dexed compile ok

Edit:
I take a look into old build.log and synth.hpp is in lvtk source.
lvtk seems to be updated since we try to make a compilation on Buster.
We need to change the file install_lvtk.sh to checkout branch 1.x and rename the file lvtk-plugin-1.pc in lvtk-plugin-2.pc

jofemodo · August 22, 2019, 10:56pm

I will be back to my lab in a few days and will test your changes …

Thanks a lot for your work! We are really close to have a fully functional Buster image …

lguyome45 · August 23, 2019, 9:14am

Hi Jofemodo,
I make 2 pull request (I really need to learn github…):

For wifi problem https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-sys/pull/117
For the compilation of Dexed https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-sys/pull/118

Helm synth works but without preset, it runs with the default preset
Console log :

INFO:root:Getting Preset List from LV2 Plugin …
DEBUG:root:proc output:
\get_presets
=> Helm by Matt Tytel

I remove the directory /zynthian/zynthian-sw/plugins/helm run after the file install_helm.sh and after building, I have all the preset.

Maybe in first compilation, Helm presets are not a the good place and when generating presets.ttl, there is nothing to do

lguyome45 · August 23, 2019, 1:14pm

I try the patch to Aeolus in text mode, and now it works https://github.com/zynthian/zynthian-sys/pull/119

lguyome45 · September 4, 2019, 2:21pm

I try the new Zynthian Os image with the modification put in master.
First good news, Dexed works, Wifi works on Rbpi4.

Bad news, Aeolus did not works, the modification made in the file install_aeolus.sh is not called by setup_plugins_rbpi.sh.

For Helm engine, there is no presets, remove the directory /zynthian/zynthian-sw/plugins/helm and redo the compilation with install_helm.sh make the preset correctly ???

At first run, I have a problem with encoder not working, same when putting the kit V2+, I try on Rbpi3B+ same problem until I make a bad configuration, reboot and redo V2+ kit

Sometimes, the wifi is not enabled, need to enable manually.
