I ordered the Rasp Pi 4 8GB and loaded the 2.777 (latest version) onto the 8GB SD Card. I then boot up the pi but I can’t see the Volumio wifi. I checked my Asus router web page, and I don’t see it connected. The LEDs on the LAN port, remain stable green and amber.
I then loaded the latest Rasp OS and that worked fine, I could ping the Pi. So it’s not a hardware issue.
Hi I’ve been getting that a lot with recent Volumio downloads to Raspberry pi 3s too. It’s almost as if WiFi chip has fried! It happened on four fresh installs across two pi 3s. I thought my ifi iPower had damaged the boards by being under powered. I changed PSU, got Rpi 4 and a fresh download of Volumio and it was fine.
Perhaps plug the Rpi into a TV or Monitor and see if your PSU is powerful enough (look for lightning icon in top right of screen) to run Rpi 4 and Hat. If not that might be the problem…
You are lucky! My Rasp Pi 4 8GB doesn’t load the 2.777 at all.16GB SD Card Class 10, tried on 4GB SD Card - the same thing. I changed <disable_splash=0> in config.txt in order to see what’s going on and saw on the screen some errors like <start4.elf is not compatible> and message “This board requires newer software. Get the latest software from… etc.”
Not sure if we’re logging issues but I’m also having problems booting v2.777 on a RPi4 8GB with either a 16GB or 32GB SD card. I am able to boot the latest version of Raspian (or whatever it’s called now), but Volumio does not boot.
Well, that is a start! You shouldn’t need to use the screen, and just connect remotely to the WebUI (use the hotspot if not plugged in via cable). I am assuming you’re familiar with Volumio if not check out the Quick start guide, most of the stuff is applicable to the Buster images as well…
Logs aren’t persistent across boots, so dmesg or journactl would give them to you.
I connected remotely to the WebUI via cable.Seems all works. No smb, so connected to my shares over nfs - it works well. Web radio is OK, found stations and play. Doesn’t recognize my USB Arcam-rPAC, only HDMI and Audio Jack. WiFi sees networks, not tested.
Glad to help
That is for Volumio updates, can be ignored.
I am assuming that these devices work fine with Raspbian? I don’t see anything wrong with the logs at first glance.
