Wolfson modified Noobs raspbian zipped img  Cannot unzip new download

Please make the md5 checksum for this file available.

Thank you

I have kept my original download, but I have downloaded the zip file again to compare them.

I'm running WinXP with Cygwin.

My old download from Feb 26 and today's are identical.

WinZip complains - "Archive is greater than 4 gigabytes."

WinRAR complains - "! ... wolfson_3.10_master.zip: Either multipart or corrupt ZIP archive"

Command line unzip complains - "warning [wolfson_3.10_master.zip]: 418149653 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile...error [wolfson_3.10_master.zip]: start of central directory not found;...

7-zip works, it extracts the image OK.

There are Linux and OSX versions of 7-zip available at http://www.7-zip.org/download.html

Hi Ragnar!

Im trying your download, but i only end up with a kernel oops when loading the wolfson module. 

On 3.10.25.

What could possibly be the cause?

Hej Bengan!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I have no idea

You're the first person reporting problems.

Could be a broken sound card, corrupted SD card, bad connection...

Hard to tell without seeing the error message.

Have you tried the official element14 image? http://downloads.element14.com/wolfson/wolfson_3.10_master.zip?COM=WolfsonAudioCard

Just one question:

when I install the new wolfson-Kernel: how to install further music programms as volumio e.g.??

- or must I install the nedded utils myself (alsa-mixer, mpd,....)

- or are there complete images with wolfson-drivers and music packages

Volumio isn't a program you install on your currrent OS. It's a complete Linux distribution with its own streamlined kernel, applications and customizations.

Volumio comes as one big image file you burn to the SD card. As far as I know it doesn't have support for the Wolfson card yet.

It may be possible to switch out the kernel and modules, but I don't know.

The only complete media-player type image with Wolfson drivers I'm aware of is SqueezePlug.

Hey Ragnar,

Any chance you could upload your Module.symvers from your kernel build?  I'd like to build the RTL8188CU wifi module driver against that kernel, but I'd rather not wait however many hours it takes the Pi to build the full kernel.

Thanks,

Ben

Here you go!

Thank you for your reply, so I'll try Squeezplug...

By the way: in the "normal" DL-image you wrote, ist there a mdp-player included?

Sorry, my image only has the applications that are in the Raspbian wheezy image, mpd is not included.

RuneAudio - Embedded Hi-Fi music player , a project similar to Volumio, with your kernel works.

Hi,

Squeezeplug works pretty well with the Wolfson card, but if you want to use the Volumio web-interface as your client, that works too. A guy over in the Volumio forums, Ebsy, has produced a tutorial on how to install Volumio on the PiBang distro. I wondered if it would work on Raspian, so I tried it, and it does! This is using Ragnar's version of the Wolfson image. The tutorial is at http://typingoutloud.org/raspberry-pi-installing-volumio-pibang/. I'm now happily using the Volumio web-interface with the Wolfson card. It may not have all the background tweaks of the full Volumio distribution, but it seems to work pretty well to me.
