Former Member
Former Member over 11 years ago

Hi Guys,

 

Attached are some instructions for compiling the wolfson audio card kernel drivers into Raspbian and get the software up and running from a Command Line Interface.

 

Please post back here if you find any issues with getting this to work.

 

Thanks

 

Andy

    Hi,

     

    So fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

     

    Many thanks Andy...   I will build a new Raspbian  card, once the current Wolfson audio image has completed

     

    Unfortunately,  the first Wolson  image I made refused to boot, I am dd'ing it a second time  at the moment, Its a slow job dd'ing 8GB images! It's about 60% done. I will hang on till the end and try it again, before I try  a vanilla raspbian.

     

    regards

    Hi,

     

    Before  I dd'd the  second attempt at a Wolfson image to my 8GB sd card, I completely erased the card.  This time it copied the  image properly.  (3 partitions instead of only two last time).

     

    I would advise anyone  using the Wolfson image on an 8GB sdcard, to zero the entire card before you start.

     

    I can ssh into Wolfson Audio  image,  will install  the Audio  card and see what I can see.

     

    regards

    I've followed the instructions as far as 7.

    The fetch appeared to work fine but then  git checkout rpi-3.10.y says that rpi-3.10.y did not match any file(s) known to git.

    Any idea where I am going wrong ?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kevin, I rec'd that error when I didn't notice that I'd run out of storage space in the preceeding step.
