Wolfson modified Noobs raspbian zipped img  Cannot unzip new download

Please make the md5 checksum for this file available.

Thank you

Patrick

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.

$ ls -ltr *wolfson*zip

72d091a9b43e47a5b7b85432ec15611c *new_wolfson_3.10_master.zip

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

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!

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

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.

Thanks for your efforts on this.  Like one of the other posters here my dmesg is just full of stack traces and the card is unrecognizable.

I'm so utterly disappointed in this product.  It boggles my mind that I would have to use a custom pre-built OS to use an add-on hardware device.  I have spent too much time installing and configuring other aspects of my raspian OS (I use it as a print server, backup storage device, etc) to just blow it away and use a new OS image.

So all I can do is sit and hope one day they can get their act together and get the drivers & libs in the official channels and we don't have to mess around with this kind of b.s.  Looks like someone pushed a product to market before it was ready.

Blech.

@Wayne Westlake what you need is this post - no need for a reinstall, just a kernel swap.  Why this isn't what they did officially I don't know!

@Joe E.

So from a "normal" noobs install It´s enough with just changing the kernel according to Ragnars post?

I´m with Wayne here. It´s not working at all. The Wolfson NOOBS install can't be done because of discspace on the SD card ( 8 Gb)....

For som reason Ragnars raspian.wheezy stop booting after half a minute.

and so on.....

Why didn´t they do it right from the beginning, now Ragnar and alike have to fix what they didn´t do.

Disappointed, but thanks to all that is trying to help.

Btw, forgot to say that the download of the image isn't working either.

Ragnar's image worked right away for me, and the card is working fine too. Maybe a problem with your SD card?

I think the intention is that the Wolfson drivers will be included into the standard Raspian distribution in due course. We are the early adopters, so we have to work with what is, I think, an interim solution. As I say, it does what I need it to (play music via the SPDIF ouput), and works better than my previous USB Dac set-up, so I'm not complaining.

It might be a problem with the Sd card, but everything else is working. Like the normal NOOBS.

Early adopters and early days yes, but now it´s up to us (read you ) to fix it I think.

Hoping and waiting for an official fix.
