Linux header, firmware Update issue.

Postby Luxor » Mon Sep 24, 2012 9:33 am

Hi here,

Yesterday an upgrade from :

linux-headers-raspberrypi-3.2.27-5 > linux-headers-raspberrypi-3.2.27-6
linux-raspberrypi-3.2.27-5 > linux-raspberrypi-3.2.27-6
raspberrypi-firmware-20120916-1 > raspberrypi-firmware-20120921-1

Upgrade is well done but i personally have an issue with my XBMC HD reading files (not tested with SD files), After 30minutes/1hour reading file, the sound continue to play but image stuck. When stop video and try to read again, a black screen is here, no sound, no video. Same with another video.

I had to reboot my raspberry to solve problem, but it comes back.

I found a solution short term : I am not sure if all these package are problem related.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
pacman -U linux-headers-raspberrypi-3.2.27-5-arm.pkg.tar.xz raspberrypi-firmware-20120916-1-any.pkg.tar.xz linux-raspberrypi-3.2.27-5-arm.pkg.tar.xz
cp /boot/arm128_start.elf /boot/start.elf')

And problem solved.
Should i bug report or is it enough ?

First, when you installed older raspberrypi-firmware it should have picked up matching start.elf of what you had, messages should have said that.
The firmware and console source come from "upstream", if you can find any meaningful way to find out what went wrong to help debug it's best to report to https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues or https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues
Look through reported things first to see if anything similar, I can't test as in the middle of another project

raspberry-firmware have picked matching start.elf successfully, it did cp from new elf to the new one (i actually using arm128)

i looked into xbmc crash report, error.log and others log in /var/log/ i couldn't find anything related to this problem. That's the reason why i simply downgraded version to solve issue.

As i said my problem start with a sound problem so maybe related to https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/122
