Wolfson modified Noobs raspbian zipped img  Cannot unzip new download

superpat

Hi,

 

I deleted my original zip download  and the img of the above file.   I have downloaded it again, but all the unzip programs I try will not unzip it, ( say no unzip sig).

 

I have painfully downloaded it again and still no joy with unzipping.

 

Have you changed the file recently?

 

Please, please  publish the md5 sum for this file!  (so I can eliminate download errors)

 

many thanks

 

regards

 

Patrick

    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.

    $ ls -ltr *wolfson*zip
-rwx------+ 1 ragnar Ingen 4713117059 Feb 26 12:16 wolfson_3.10_master.zip
-rwx------+ 1 ragnar Ingen 4713117059 Mar 17 21:12 new_wolfson_3.10_master.zip
$ md5sum wolfson_3.10_master.zip new_wolfson_3.10_master.zip
72d091a9b43e47a5b7b85432ec15611c *wolfson_3.10_master.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

    Unfortunately like at least one other poster this doesn't work for me.  I think it's because I'm already on the latest kernel (3.10.36) and this is a backdated one.  I get all sorts of stack traces when viewing logs with dmesg as did another poster.  That's also the caveat with this method, you're stuck on his 3.10.25 kernel forever.

     

    Thanks for the suggestion though.

    I did a standard Raspbian install (not through NOOBS) then updated everything (not much) and changed the kernel and have had no problems, though I didn't look through any logs (it worked, why question it?)

     

    I've slightly downgraded kernels on other systems before without issues but you might be using something which is built against the newer one which objects to the downgrade.  Lets hope they get it integrated into the default kernel soon, then it will be a simple upgrade for everyone.

    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 image) to fix it I think.

     

    Hoping and waiting for an official fix.

    I thought you said Ragnar's image stopped booting?

     

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

     

    Well, not me. I'm just a beneficiary of Ragnar's expertise :-)

     

    >Hoping and waiting for an official fix.

     

    Well, it's supposed to be coming. There was a post earlier in this thread (21) from Andy Laing (I think of Element14) where he said they are working with Wolfson to get the Wolfson drivers included in the standard Raspian distribution .

     

    "We are currently working with the developers at Wolfson and the RPI Foundation to get the drivers uploaded into the official Raspbian Kernel.

     

    This download image is only ever intended to be a temporary measure, and we will be removing this image as soon as the Wolfson drivers are embedded into the official Raspbian kernel. Once complete, you will only need to do an "apt-get upgrade" to download the kernel drivers for this audio card.

     

    We are expecting this work to be completed within the coming weeks and I will update this thread again once this is completed and provide instructions on how to update your standard Raspbian builds to install the new drivers and additional software needed to run the Wolfson audio card".
    So hopefully that might address some of the issues people are currently having.

    I think we all get a lot of stack traces at boot. It's even mentioned in the Soundcard Manual:
    "You may notice 'trace errors' during boot up. These are regarded as harmless, and they will not appear on future releases."

    Not saying that you don't see real, fatal errors, though.

     

    3.10.36, is that the "stable" 3.10.y or the "next" 3.10.y-next branch?

    I see the stack-traces in 'dmesg', but they don't stop the card working. And if they are going to disappear in future releases I don't see them as a problem.

    I'm not positive Ragnar.  I'm just getting them via the rpi-update.  My uname -a looks like:

     

    Linux raspberrypi 3.10.36+ #662 PREEMPT Fri Apr 4 18:31:16 BST 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux

    OK, that's the stable branch then. You have to explicitly tell rpi-update if you want the "next" (a.k.a. "bleeding edge, use-at-your-own-peril") branch.

    Pulling sources from github now...

    ... and Wolfson's patches didn't apply cleanly.image

    Apparently there's been work done to add support for a new SoC DAC.

     

    I'll try to patch by hand. Always fun image

     

    EDIT: Wouldn't you know... we're keeping with the theme of this thread. Command line unzip was unable to unzip the kernel source Zip-file image

    Apparently a bug in Linux unzip that pops up when you have many symbolic links with long path names in the archive. 7zip to the rescue again!

    Nope, too much stuff has happened in sound/soc/codecs/wm8804.c between 3.10.25 and 3.10.36.

    I'm not familiar enough with that code to make an attempt.
