RE: New Raspberry Pi firmware & XBMC Frodo RC3 - The_Reaper - 10th Jan, 2013 06:25 PM
@Koenkk, I upgraded it again and now it works. Thank you very much!
@endo, I had a similar problem downloading xbian, at checking out files. I tried 3 times and always crash at same point.
Did you see an error message on TV?
I saw a wifi error message. I don't remember exactly the error message, but I chage the wifi usb device and after repeat the process it installed successfully. Yesterdey I repeat all the process and all was ok again.
The problem can be that your usb wifi device doesn't work properly with xbian.

version 361556 seems to be out already.

Any reason why we cannot use rpi-update to get the latest firmware ?
Thanks

RE: New Raspberry Pi firmware & XBMC Frodo RC3 - CurlyMo - 10th Jan, 2013 10:52 PM
Because it might break the installation, and we have a custom kernel that requires some specific matching of firmware.
However, i will check if i can just update the firmware.

Can I just get firmware bit over git from xbian git repo ? No need to do all steps from the first post right?

Just tried again...still the same.
Do you think it may comes from the class 4 sd card ? I've notice that the download speed is good at the start (+1Mo/s) until 28%, then drop to 30ko/s, then stop and failed...
RE: New Raspberry Pi firmware & XBMC Frodo RC3 - CurlyMo - 11th Jan, 2013 12:06 AM
A firmware update always consists of the /boot (except .img & .txt) and /opt/vc folders.

Just download the latest firmware from here and copy the /boot and /opt/vc folders.

That was the thing i was explaining. Don't just download the firmware by yourself, but let us test it first.

I understood from that post that you've tested it and it was ok to try.
My bad.
RE: New Raspberry Pi firmware & XBMC Frodo RC3 - CurlyMo - 11th Jan, 2013 08:24 AM
That's why you can now download it from our git page.
RE: New Raspberry Pi firmware & XBMC Frodo RC3 - Pihkal - 11th Jan, 2013 08:27 AM
I should be a little more patient...i'm cloning the rpi-firmware git at the moment.
But it shouldn't make any difference since it's the same firmware...

try not grabbing it from https.
ie:
Code:
git clone --depth 5 -b xbian-alpha5 git://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian.gitRE: New Raspberry Pi firmware & XBMC Frodo RC3 - doug - 11th Jan, 2013 03:32 PM
