Hello Pi users, I have updated my free utility Pi Filler, for Mac users. Pi Filler is, in my biased opinion, the easiest-to-use tool for writing an operating system image to an SD card. It can typically write the full Raspbian OS with Desktop in 5-7 minutes. The new version 2.0 is compatible with ma...

Hi all, I know that Jessie is the future, and I'm getting there, but please indulge me anyway. The most recent Wheezy image won't boot a Zero. However, I put the card another Pi, and then upgraded to the same firmware that the current Jessie image has (with kernel 4.1.13). Then it works fine in a Ze...

I've love that you've made an Apple II emulator. I wish I could actually say that I have! But others have made the emulators, I just compiled them and packaged them up to make them easy to install and use on a Pi. However, that's just the tip of the iceberg -- I've got a whole custom distro of Rasp...

Hello world, I have updated my free utilities Pi Filler and Pi Finder for Mac users. Pi Filler is, in my biased opinion, the easiest-to-use tool for writing an operating system image to an SD card. The new version 1.3 is about five times faster than it was before, allowing a card to be written in 5-...

I just installed the latest NOOBS (2015-02-02, v1.3.12) and noticed one of my scripts which referenced /sys/class/leds/led0 no longer worked, and was surprised to see that instead the led was now named /sys/class/leds/ACT. Is this a bug or a design change? I would have expected a symlink called led0...

This post inspired me to update my Apple II emulators page, so thanks. New packages are provided that now include wrapper scripts which get the ROMs for you and whatnot, plus there are now finally binaries for GSport. Also, per the above request, I made a special build of LinApple that bypasses the ...

Look in /usr/share/doc/raspberrypi-bootloader/ you should find a file called changelog.debian.gz in the first entry of that changelog you will find something like "firmware as of <random looking hex number>" The random looking hex number is a git commit ID for the raspberrypi/firmware repository on...

I am trying to use the 'silentinstall' method to install a single OS but it just doesn't work for me. When I append 'silentinstall' to the end of the command line in recovery.cmdline, the Pi appears to start installing my OS (I have only one OS directory in the os/ folder and I see my splash screen...

Thanks to a really helpful comment on the issue I logged, I can now compile the kernel and modules once more, by using the cross-compiler in the Tools project, rather than from the Ubuntu repo. I put up a page about the process in the hopes that maybe it might be useful to someone: compiling the Ras...

Though I'd follow up by saying that I built my Raspbian distribution " Raspple II " using NOOBS 1.3.2 and it works fantastically. It uses the "silentinstall" feature to be insert-and-go. Thanks much to the NOOBS developers! Also, I was in fact able to exclude /var/swap to make it 100 MB smaller, wor...

just did an apt-get upgrade (to 3.10.23+) and xrdp is working fine for me.

IvanX

This won't necessarily help, but I put up a page on how to get the right sources to compile the kernel using Ubuntu in the free VirtualBox virtual machine, including all the cross-compile tools and whatnot, for the purpose of using non-included modules. It takes about 30 minutes to compile the kerne...

Hey everyone, I've been using my Raspberry Pi primarily for expansion/integration with the vintage Apple II line of computers, and I've just gathered two of my projects ( A2SERVER and A2CLOUD ), and another from someone else ( Apple II Pi ), in a custom Raspbian distribution called Raspple II. It al...

IvanX

For what it's worth, I only just discovered this thread, but I've been making a custom Raspbian with NOOBS 1.3 successfully, using more or less the instructions as is, except that I'm also excluding /tmp (since that's where I'm putting my tarballs). Can I also exclude /var/swap? I assume that doesn'...

I did. And I also followed your suggestion to ask if they could include AppleTalk as standard, and now it's already in rpi-update. It might not have occurred to me to do so without your prompting, so thanks!

I believe the fwhash you do want is d4f5315 - plugging that into your wget command then returns 1587f775d0a3c437485262ba951afc5e30be69fa Thanks for checking this out for me. Unfortunately, this is actually the same hash that I get from the changelog file in the raspberrypi-bootloader, but which res...

Hi all, It appears that the latest "apt-get upgrade" includes raspberrypi-bootloader, which, according to /usr/share/doc/raspberrypi-bootloader/changelog.Debian.gz, is dated 2013-Sep-04, and according to uname -a, is release 3.6.11+ #538. My A2SERVER project depends on the AppleTalk kernel module (w...

IvanX

I'm experimenting with Raspbian running under NOOBS (which I gather is based on BerryBoot), and I want to use a kernel module (appletalk) which isn't enabled by default. However, when I compile (using cross-compile on a x86 machine, including the rest of the kernel and modules), I get "Exec format e...

any old R5370 from ebay will work. I have 3 of these working as APs at the moment. I thought I was buying one of these on eBay but it was based on the RT3070 chipset and didn't work. I purchaed the Tenda W311MI and it is based on the RT5370 chipset. Cheap. Works for me, though throughput seems a bi...

I've recently picked up a //c & will be housing the Pi in the case, as well as hooking it up to the keyboard, monitor etc. & this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Awesome. Be sure to check out Apple II Pi and RetroConnector , those might help you out or give you ideas with your project...put up a...

IvanX

Cool! Hope you enjoy it. Let me know if you have any questions.

Ivan here. The warning about the card not being written successfully is a bug that I unfortunately haven't yet had time to fix. If it appears after a normal amount of time writing your card, after it actually counts the time remaining all the way down, you can just ignore it; the card is fine and re...

IvanX

Glad it completed.

Pi Copier (and Pi Filler) won't display time remaining updates (or anything at all) if it is not the frontmost application. You can click on the icon in the dock to see updates.

IvanX

Ok, I redid the Wi-Fi info page to hopefully make it more readable and understandable. Let me know if you have any comments.

Yes, correct. Thanks; I'll clarify that.
