Pi Zero 2 W

[Lukesan]

Just flashed it on a couple of sd-cards to verify something.  BT playback, were I use it for, is very very sketchy, it seems to interrupt all the time.
Some speakers seem to have more issues.

You beat me to it by a minute!

I'd posted the revision code at the start of this thread.

Cheers,

Haha, a long minute. 

Really struggling today. Now I placed the same sd-card in the Pi4 I also received today ... and guess what.. it has the new C0T stepping. 
It sees my BT speakers but pairing is a no go.   Seriously I can go sit in a corner today and have a bit of a silent cry.

Have you tested with a BT speaker?

[Lukesan]

I am going to give up for today.

After trying different speakers, sd-cards, you name it I go back to square one, a 4 year old Zero W works slowly but without any issues at all.
On the PI 4 the moment I try to connect to a BT speaker it seems it reverts to nothing at all. The speaker is out of the list as well.

I've never used Bluetooth in my life, so I can't help there.

No worries. I hope it gets fixed and isn't a design issue.

And besides, that should be the subject of a separate thread and not something hidden away under Pi Zero 2 W. (For what it's worth, I have no problem connecting and playing moOde output from an RPi4B to rando Bluetooth speakers. LIstening to a JBL Flip2 on my desk ATM.)

As for the Zero 2 W, I (pre)ordered one from pishop.us the day of the release announcement. Who knows, it might arrive here before Christmas. I'm not holding my breath after my experience in ordering RPi4B and CM4 boards when they were first released.

But, here's Moode 7.4.1 out of the box on the Pi Zero 2 W.

As Moode doesn't recognise the Zero 2 W, I can't select the 64-bit kernel to play with.

I haven't the time to test any further today, alas, so I can't do any quick code hacking to get it recognised properly.

Might have a chance tomorrow.

Odd that it doesn't fish the Pi model out of the revision code.

What is the output from the command below?

Code:

moodeutl --revision

It runs /var/www/command/pyrev.py to parse the revision code.

adding:

    0x12: "Zero 2 W",

to PI_TYPES in pirev.py makes moodeutl --revision behave, but we still need extra code in sys-config.php to be able to select a 64-bit kernel.

Cheers,

Phil

It turns out that the Pi Zero 2 W can't yet boot the 64-bit kernel, so only the pirev.py change is needed for the next Moode update.

OK, so we need the latest kernel via rpi-update to be able to use a 64-bit kernel on the Pi Zero 2 W.

It adds the bcm2710-rpi-zero-2.dtb file which is needed to boot plus updated firmware.

You'll need to change the line in /var/www/sys-config.php which presents the 64-bit kernel option to read:

Code:

        if ((strncmp($name, 'Pi-Zero 2 W', 11) === 0) || $name == 'Pi-2B 1.2 1GB' || $model == '3' || $model == '4' || $name == 'Allo USBridge SIG [CM3+ Lite 1GB v1.0]') {

The help message would need changing too.

Don't try this at home unless you know what you're doing, people.

Note: I'd done a test

Code:

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

keeping existing config files, and nothing broke for me, but I only use a USB DAC in testing this.

Cheers,

Phil

How to enable camilla dsp on pi zero 2 w ?
Set button, edit button disabled.

Camilla DSP is disabled on the original Pi Zero because it simply would not have coped, I believe the zero is ARMv6 and C-DSP only works on ARMv7.  I also believe that the Zero 2 runs ARMv7 so maybe the zero 2 could run it if allowed.  I'm sure someone with better knowledge than I will chip in in a bit...

[Tim Curtis]

The specs indicate the zero-2 is Cortex A53 which is 4-core ARMv8 and so in theory should be able to run Camilla.

A comment line below in the code for Audio Config shows Camilla is only enabled for certain Pi models and the zero 2 is not included in the list.

Code:

// Pi-2B rev 1.2, Allo USBridge SIG, Pi-3B/B+/A+, Pi-4B

@bitlab, should zero-2 be added to list for upcoming moOde 8 series?
