moOde on Holo Red

[azimuth]

Has anyone tried or anyone successfully installed moOde 8 or 9on the Holo Red?

It seems like it should work as the Red is a Pi Compute Module 4. 

My friend is trying to install 9 and tried 8.3.9 and before making any changes, it is locking up on him.

Basically it will load, but you can't save any settings and it just hangs when you try to reboot.

Sounds like a failure to define a user and password when writing the image. Read the setup guide.

Or it could be just that the Holo Red isn't quite a stock CM4 module.

It is connected via Ethernet. I have setup moOde since like version 3 and I have never had to set a password unless I was going to use SSH or the WiFi Hotspot password.

It very well could be not a stock CM4. Holo claims "...has been developed by Holo Audio itself, of course optimized for Audio."


Oddly enough, I am now having the same issues with 9.0.2 with a Pi 3+. When I go to the Audio setting, it gives me a 500 error. When I go to the Network settings, it hangs. Same with going to System.

Have you done the required steps in the Setup Guide to prepare the image using the Raspberry Pi Imager?

I was unaware you had to use the Raspberry Pi Imager. I guess that needs to be more clearly stated.

I used Balana Etcher like I have always used. I am using the official Raspberry Pi Imager now and will report back.

I was/am a big fan of Bakena Etcher too.

Back when the RPF introduced the more stringent security settings (no default user and password) I posted a moOde HowTo describing what has to be done if one doesn't want to use the official Imager. It was a fun intellectual exercise but, honestly, why bother when using the Imager options is so easy.

The requirement to use the Pi Imager started over a year ago with the 8.3.0 release. It's stated in each official release announcement here in the Forum, on the Download page at moodeaudio.org and mentioned a zillion times here in various Threads and posts and in our other socials. Theres also a pending enhancement to the Imager schema that will provide a key for a Setup Guide link in the moOde item in the Media Player OS section.

If there is something more I can do let me know.

@Tim Curtis Holy cow...now I finally got my Pi 3+ working. You are great at writing requirements and what I think it needed is clearer instructions. I am an IT Learning & Development Instructional Designer and might be able to help out with that.

That would be great :-)
