Subject: [9fans] updated firmware for latest Raspberry Pi boards
Date: Mon, 23 Sep 2013 13:47:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <d57256531531a8990b5c52739a5a5992@hamnavoe.com> (raw)
I recently acquired another pi and found it wouldn't boot with any of
my existing sd cards. It seems there has been a hardware change at
some point (new RAM chip?) which requires a new version of the
firmware which runs on the Broadcom GPU.
I've updated the dos partition of the sd card image in /contrib/miller
with newer firmware files which work for me. If you want to update an
already installed 9pi image for a new pi, you can get the files from
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot
But at the moment, it's best not to use the very latest firmware, because
a change was made on 18 September which breaks usb quite badly for Plan 9.
[See .../raspberrypi/firmware/issues/214 for details if you're curious.]
I hope this will be sorted out eventually, but meanwhile you can follow
the History link on the above page and use a version earlier than this date.
