RE: Official moOde 6.5.2 support thread - Tim Curtis - 06-17-2020 Thanks. The 64-bit kernel is still kind of messy and experimental. It seems that some libraries and drivers crash when running in 64 bit. Maybe when moOde switches to the 5.4.y kernel branch there will be more stability in 64-bit.

Have you tried the simple expedient of swapping the 32GB and 128GB cards between the two RPi4Bs and rebooting? Is the behavior related to a specific RPi4B or to the 128GB card? 2. To expand on @DRONE7's post, the RPi model 4 differs from earlier models in that it has some of its firmware stored in eeprom so that It is available at boot but can be updated from time to time. (Previous models use the contents of the bootcode.bin file.) Check your two RPi4Bs using the vcgencmd command to be sure they are running the same firmware version. Here's an example for the moOde player in my living room: Code: pi@moodelr:~ $ /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd bootloader_version If they are not the same, then consult the RPi booteeprom documentation on the update process. Regards, Kent PS - (my favorite soapbox topic) This is not a moOde 6.5.2 bug report. It should be the subject of a separate thread.

This will not break Moode. After rebooting, sudo rpi-eeprom-update to see the firmware versions. Cheers, Phil RE: Official moOde 6.5.2 support thread - TheOldPresbyope - 06-18-2020 Sure, I was just hoping to find out if the difference in firmware was the root cause before he upgraded.

My many years have led me to start my check list with "it's plugged in, right?" [1] Naturally, that's followed by "it's turned on, right?" If both answers are yes, then we move on to "have you tried rebooting?" Only then do I get to your mantra Regards, Kent [1] Let me tell you about the time the overnight cleaning crew unplugged the power feed to my cubicle so they could run their vacuum cleaner without going to find an extension cord. My Apollo workstation---yes, this happened that long ago---clearly was plugged into the cubicle's power strip but wouldn't power up. The disconnection was behind a modesty panel where I couldn't see it. What a hoot! RE: Official moOde 6.5.2 support thread - rAudio - 06-19-2020 Wow thanks for all the support! Quote:If the above is correct:- HAT DAC / no HAT DAC seems to have no effect. Quote:Are they both running the same firmware ? Were they purchased at the same time ? Is the one running wifi fine a later purchase..?So apparently the rpi i bought first and is running the 64bit kernel flawlessly is a Pi-4B 4GB v1.2 and strangely enough the rpi i bought weeks later and does not establish a wifi connection with the 64bit kernel is a Pi-4B 4GB v1.1 - so contrary to what i thought they are not equal. i was not aware of that.

Error! -sudo apt full-upgrade Code: Extracting templates from packages: 100% Quote:1. uSD cards are not all the same. Have you tried the simple expedient of swapping the 32GB and 128GB cards between the two RPi4Bs and rebooting? Is the behavior related to a specific RPi4B or to the 128GB card?This is interesting! Swapping the uSD does have an effect: the rpi 1.1 where wifi was not working with 64bit and the 128gb uSD, does establish a wifi connection without problems with the 32gb uSD. The rpi 1.2 is unable with the 128gb uSD (wifi: no adapter). Both running the same version of moOde and with the exact same settings. So it seems to be the uSD after all? The 128gb is a SanDisk Ultra and the 32gb is a Toshiba M203. I will not have the possibility to test the rpi 1.1 128gb, because i will give it away this weekend as a birthday present (as planned). Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming support! This is a great community. I am impressed.
