Pi3

[AndyPi]

Arch Arm site indicates that for now Pi3 is to use Pi2 software https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv ... berry-pi-3

I assume that taking a fully updated Pi2 card and plugging into Pi3 is equivalent to doing a fresh install (?). However although Pi3 + Pi2 card boots OK it seems to boot as Pi2. Can't see wireless, clock speeds remain unchanged etc.

Is this to be expected or should I do a fresh install? When will a specific build for Pi3 be available ?

Same with me, albeit with a fresh install.

I do see the pi3 .dtb in /boot (which confirms I should have the correct image).

I have not investigated the issue to any great degree so it may just something I have not done correctly. I'll report back once I have had a decent check.

On my updated Pi2 image it also has

bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb

in /boot so at least it knows about it. I seem to recall that the boot messages properly identified the Pi3.

I do not have a Pi3, but would suggest you make sure that you have the packages installed that are needed for wireless, and also enable the service. Detecting the hardware does not mean the wireless software is there or enabled, and you are using a Pi2 system.

All good in Arch 4.1.19-3

PS add

ExecUpPost='iw dev wlan0 set power_save off'

to netctl profile to disable the bothersome power management
