Updating to the 2012-09-18-wheezy-raspbian image

[Joe!]

After the update & upgrade, upon reboot I still see:

Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9-cutdown-aufs #23 PREEMPT Mon Aug 13 15:20:21 CEST 2012 armv61

Is there any hope for me?

That's not the default raspbian/wheezy kernel. Did you start from a different image?

I started from the default kernel but used Hexxeh's firmware updater. I have tried using it multiple times since that first successful usage, but alas, no updates seem to stick. I do see other version directories in the /boot folder.

I believe you are using Berryboot. You might need to uninstall that first, or start with a clean image.

Hi,

Having started from the new image, all seems to be good. The performance is much better. Thanks to all those involved. Viewing the BBC web site with Chromium works quite well.

Best regards, Will

I have the same problem here. Everything seemed to update just fine, but after I shutdown when I reboot again I get no video.

How can me and sghazagh recover from this so we can use it again?

Thanks for any help

I have used "Apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" and everything went well but after reboot it is not coming up!

Please help

Make sure you execute this after update n upgrade,

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install raspberrypi* raspi-config

I am not sure, if this belongs here, but after this upgrade, my touchscreen does not work anymore. It worked out of the box with the previous image version.
The touch device is found but i manually have to do "modprobe hid_multitouch" to get it to work. But it still is not calibrated. Before the update I did not have to calibrate.
Are there any driver changes I could start investigating with?

[SiriusHardware]

I just downloaded the new Raspbian image (September 2012) and flashed a new card (class 10 as opposed to my original class 4) with it, and set the overclocking to 'Turbo' in the initial raspi-config - have to know whether it works, so no sense in holding back.

I don't have Quake III handy for stress testing but one thing I have noticed a dramatic difference in - Midori. With the old image I kept loyally trying to do stuff like web browsing on the Pi using Midori, but it was almost unusably slow, especially when trying to type a message into this forum - typically I'd hit a key and the letter would appear on the screen up to half a second later, although I did find that if I just typed at full speed everything I typed was buffered and all my text - hopefully minus errors - would eventually appear on the screen.

Totally different experience with this build: I'm using the Pi / Midori to type this now and there is now no discernible delay between my typing a character and it being echoed on the screen. One theory that I had about this earlier was that the real-time spelling checker might be creating a lot of overhead, but it made no difference when I turned it off when using the previous image. With this build, typing text into this forum is now just as slick as it is on any other computer.

It's also possible that the access speed of the original Sandisk class 4 card I was using was dragging everything down. I'll try flashing that old card with the new build, and see if it is noticeably slower on that card.

Fixed it with a fresh raspbian install for anyone else having a similar problem

Me to, overclock corrupts my SD card (config.txt edit's itself...). This issue was solved for a while but it seems to be back? Card= Transcend 8gb class 10

Is this from an updated older image, or a new intall?
It could be the corruption happened from an older kernel, and you are just seeing the result when you try writing to the boot partition.
A reimage (or format the FAT partion, then copy the files back on) may help.

I did a fresh install of the new image twice (with a SD card format inbetween) and all is well until i set overclock and reboot, then my config.txt is intantly messed up. Maybe this specific SD card is sort of.. sensitive?

Just strolling by.. I'm using that very card myself - Transcend 8GB class 10, and running at the highest (turbo) level of overclock as set from Raspi-Config. Mine was flashed with a brand new download of the image. I haven't (yet) experienced the problems you have described.

[Bleugh]

Please add the default clock options to a wiki / FAQ somewhere

“None” “700MHz ARM, 250MHz core, 400MHz SDRAM, 0 overvolt”
“Modest” “800MHz ARM, 300MHz core, 400MHz SDRAM, 0 overvolt”
“Medium” “900MHz ARM, 333MHz core, 450MHz SDRAM, 2 overvolt”
“High” “950MHz ARM, 450MHz core, 450MHz SDRAM, 6 overvolt”
“Turbo” “1000MHz ARM, 500MHz core, 500MHz SDRAM, 6 overvolt”

Then it would seem that the Pi itself scrambles the SD card when overclocked... interesting

Then it would seem that the Pi itself scrambles the SD card when overclocked... interesting

I'm definitely seeing SD card scrambling when using OpenELEC r11955 overclocked. Not all the time, and prior to the scrambling (of the ext4 partition) there is no apparent instability - it only becomes obvious when trying to reboot (having selected Reboot in the GUI, not due to a crash etc.) and the ext4 partition can't be mounted because it's been trashed.

[milhouse]

I'm seeing errors such as the following in OpenELEC r11955 (/storage/log/messages) when navigating the GUI (overclock settings: arm:900/core:400/sdram:450/volts:+3):

Transcend 8GB Class 10.

[Ed Raket]

I tried a new install on an other SD card i found, it is an older Sandisk "extreme III" 2gb... And the "scrambling" problem is gone! Turbo mode works fine, no corruption of the filesystem anymore

Maybe we should open a wiki section for "turbo mode compatible" SD card's?

[dom]

If anyone has corruption problems with overclock, can you try manually lowering:
arm_freq to 700
core_freq to 250
sdram_freq to 400
in config.txt one at a time to try to determine which part of the overclock is causing the problem.

[der-don]

Hey folks,
first of all I want to thank you for implementing the turbo mode. Free extra performance! I'v already made a youtube video (in German) about it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z5wU11lTr0

But now I've encountered a problem. The first switch to the 900 MHz boost level worked (as shown in the video), then I tried 1 GHz, but the RasPi started with 700 MHz again. When I try to another level, it just doesn't work, the cpu frequency remains at 700 MHz. I'm selecting a speed, reboot and then the PI still runs at the same speed. Is it a bug or a feature? Or am I doing something wrong?

[DRB666]

Originally tried to upgrade from an earlier image (July) and failed to reboot. Some kind of corrupted config file so I did a fresh install.

Works like a dream on turbo. Much faster and I love the new CPUfreq and temp options in the taskbar.

Never thought I'd see a turbo boost option on a £30 pc. Well done to the team!

How are you measuring the frequency? It only increases when CPU is busy.

[wallarug]

With these default profiles and 'Turbo Mode',
1. Why does the config.txt file not put in limits such as: "arm_freq_min" and "over_voltage_min"?
Is it automatic in the cpufreq driver?
2. Why does it not include dynamic RAM frequency or overvolt settings: "over_voltage_sdram"?
3. Would it be safe to add the RAM settings (except "sdram_freq=500" - already present) and overvolting the RAM WITHOUT VOIDING WARRANTY? and having it dynamically changing?

I don't have corruption with Raspbian (which completed a quake compile at 1000/500/450/+6), but I do with OpenELEC r11955 with much lower ARM settings. The corruption would appear to be due to SD card errors (in part, at least).

I can't identify the required settings with any certainty, but 800/450/450/+3 just did it for me. The following log messages relate to a a situation where I booted OpenELEC with the aforementioned settings, browsed into Video -> Files and chose an NFS media source (it was movies, so needed to cache thumbnails etc.), scrolled through a handful of the box sets - all OK, no errors or problems. I attempted to reboot the device but OpenELEC instead just restarted XBMC, and then the SD errors began to appear...

Here's the first part of the log, no errors...

The system is now unusable and the partition almost certainly corrupt, with even just "ls -la" producing a seg fault!

Code: Select all

root ~ # pwd
/storage
root ~ # ls -la
Segmentation fault

Will try to pin it down further.

How can I fix this apart from installing the image from scratch?

I am encountering the exact same problem, do you or anyone else have a solution to this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Well, I for my part decided to start from scratch with a clean image.

[JF002]

I've updated my firmware to the latest version, selected the Turbo mode (1000Mhz) and it's awsome!!!

The whole system seems to be a lot more usable and responsive!
Some weeks ago, I built XBMC and ran it but it was too slow and sluggish for me. Now, it seems to be as responsive as my main media server (Xtreamer sidewinder) but a lot more beautiful.

To stress it a little, I rebuilt FFMPEG (i'm using it for a little project). The CPU temperature reached 53° max and I had no crash nor freeze. It built during more than 2 hours.

So, thanks a lot to the team for these improvements, it's awesome!

FYI, my pi has SAMSUNG memory.

[Max]

After the update & upgrade, upon reboot I still see:

Linux raspberrypi 3.1.9-cutdown-aufs #23 PREEMPT Mon Aug 13 15:20:21 CEST 2012 armv61

In your case updating the kernel needs to be done through the Berryboot GUI.

• During boot press a key within 3 seconds.
• Select "operating systems installer" from the Berryboot text boot menu
• in the GUI: click "Add OS" and choose "yes" when prompted if you want to update firmware.

But now I've encountered a problem. The first switch to the 900 MHz boost level worked (as shown in the video), then I tried 1 GHz, but the RasPi started with 700 MHz again. When I try to another level, it just doesn't work, the cpu frequency remains at 700 MHz. I'm selecting a speed, reboot and then the PI still runs at the same speed. Is it a bug or a feature? Or am I doing something wrong?

How are you measuring the frequency? It only increases when CPU is busy.

I measure it using cpufreq-info (you have to install cpufrequtils to use that). It shows the minimum frequency, the maximum frequency and the current frequency and they're all set to 700 MHz. And I measured speed with this command: time echo "scale=2000; a(1)*4" | bc -l It took about 29 seconds on the default RasPi and about 20 with 900 MHz. Now it's taking ~28 sec. again
