Re: PiGate on Raspberry Pi 4
|
If someone does the full update/upgrade thing on the PiGate image, the PiGate integration will most likely not work any more.? This is the problem with open source software....people change things or break stuff that used to work.? Files will disappear or be renamed, config files are different, stuff like that.? Sometimes whole software packages don't work, like when the Raspbian OS developers broke AX.25 a few kernels back.
This is the reason big companies pay big bucks for Red Hat or SuSE Linux.? No surprises during upgrades.
Oh well, it is what it is.

Copyright date isn't date of manufacture.? It has no bearing on whether it boots or not.? Check the board for revision numbers. At one point the board changed slightly, and so did the onboard boot firmware.? Your board appears to be a later pi4 with the newer bootloader, so the old OS build doesn't boot out of the box.
I'm willing to bet that if you ran sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade -y && sudo rpi-eeprom-update and rebooted then put the older version in it would boot

I received my Raspberry Pi 4 Model B a week or so back but have not had time to fire it up.? It has a copyright date of 2018 on the PCB
Booting PiGate v1.5 does NOT work.
Booting PiGate v2.2 DOES work.
I know Mark had trouble with later PiGates he purchased in 2021 I think it was.? I am wondering if this Pi 4 is a model prior to those that are not working for him.? I suspect it may be due to the copyright date being 2018.
Mark, do you still have the Pi 4 that did not work with your latest PiGate image?? Does it have a different copyright date on the PCB?? Maybe there is some other way to distinguish them, but I only have this one that is working.
