ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8 project

Couple things:

1. Linux manages all network connections way before moOde even starts. All moOde does during its startup sequence is check for an IP address assignment.

2. WiFi suddenly dying or becoming unreliable can be a symptom of interference. The infamous HifiBerry issue from back in the day where one of its clocks generated RFI that interfered in the 2.4G WiFi band is an example.

To troubleshoot you need to start from a clean slate.
Use your full board stack.

1. Start with a fresh moOde 8.3.8 image
2. Connect using Ethernet
3. Set "Output device" to "I2S audio device"
4. Set "Named I2S device" to "ProtoDAC TDA1387 X8"
5. Reboot
6. Verify that everything works

Troubleshoot WiFi

1. Leave Ethernet connected
2. Open Network Config and define your SSID and password (use SSID for 5GHz band first)
3. Reboot

Post the contents of the startup log and output from the commands below

1. Startup log
The log can be viewed via the SSH command moodeutl -l or downloaded via the Logs section in System Config, or via Menu, System info from the any of the Config screens. The startup log will be at the end of System info output.

2. WiFi info

Code:

ifconfig

iwconfig

I don’t know how I did it, but it’s alive. I haven’t done anything special in the settings at all. I was just going to test a new 5V PS, that didn’t work out well, but I’m up and running with the Q7 and moOde on WiFi. So now it’s running on 3.3v from the Q7 while I figure out the 5v PS…
