Have a Raspberry Pi 2 model B, with a 16GB SD card that i’ve flashed with version 2.031 of Volumio. When I turn the Pi on, nothing happens, no network, nothing. Plugged in HDMI and the screen is black (but registers a signal). I can refresh the same SD card with Raspbian and it works fine.
Bonus info - I notice that the red light on the Pi stays solid but the green light flashes 4x slow then 4x fast. If i read correctly this is due to a missing start.elf file?
I’ve verified that the start.elf file is present in the boot directory, and have rewritten the SD/tried other SD cards with no luck…
Perhaps you have a corrupted download? Try downloading and flashing again. I wish the Volumio devs would include a checksum. Easy enough to do to rule out download errors.
No, it’s serious. Usually, the PI foundation changes some components (like RAM) for every new iteration.
So that means we need to update the kernel once again, to make it compatible with newer pis…
Or, could you please send the new elf files you copied over via mail to info at volumio dot org ?
I will appreciate it
Wanted to say a quick thank you for this thread. Got my Raspberry Pi2b (v1.2) up and working. I ran into the same issue with the 4x flashing slow, then fast with Volumio v2.041 (2016-12-12). Replaced all four *.elf files in the Volumio distribution with the ones from a fresh copy of Raspbian and things are up and working!
The next time I’ll be installing Volumio will be when the new version supporting “dual mono” on the Piano 2.1 becomes available
That will be on the same Pi 2 Model B (v1.2)
Same thing just happened to me. New RPI B+, wouldn’t boot volumio-2.041-2016-12-12-pi
I copied the four *.elf files from github raspberrypi/firmware and it boots. I did this today,
