Xbian Reboots when CEC is active - Exnor - 29th Aug, 2013 10:52 PM

Hi,

I recently updated the Xbian with the latest official updates and now i have a weird bug.

Before this week when i choose shutdown on the XBMC menu the Pi would go to shutdown mode and i just turn off my tv, but now instead of staying in "idle" it just reboots the OS, etc...

I have it hook up on a LG 32LW3000 with CEC capabilities, and i like to use the CEC to "wake up" my tv when i power my Pi, but now i have to de-activate CEC commands on the setting to be able to do a "normal" shutdown.

I also tried CLI shutdown and the result is the same :/

Any ideas?

Thks to all

so to make it clear(as I dont get it, sorry) that instead of power off the RPi just reboots back?

Yep... The RPi just normal reboots...

It display the Shutting down image etc... and at the final of the cycle it boots up again... No error's shown. its just like if i select reboot.

One user was reporting this when we created firmware package allowing the new RPI models to start. but he was installing it manually.Can you post output of "apt-cache policy xbian-package-firmware" ?

here it is Smile

yes, that is the experimental package - suposed to sot change one issue (not booting at all with new models) for inability to shutdown - obviously.

if important and willing to downgrade, do:
Code:
wget http://ivka57.dyndns-ip.com/rollback/xbian-package-firmware1.4-3.deb
dkpg -i xbian-package-firmware1.4-3.deb

Thks Smile.

I'm going to keep the current one, its not a big deal. i just wanted to know if it was a known bug/issue or if i had "broken" any part of the OS (lol) while tinkering in the options.

Any idea when a new version of the firmware package is coming?

it depends on which functionality you need to break.

(it depends, it can hourly, it can be in week, two). I will report to upstream And last there is dated 21. ugust by Broadccom.

Now I think this touches on another theme. I have multiple Chinese and UK Pis . I see that Chinese Pis (newer) will boot off ANYTHING, however UK Pis are picky about what they boot from.They (UK Pis) will not boot off my current crop of Adata Class 10 SD cards, whereas the Chinese ones do!. If this was supposed to fix this , it did not

How can i identify if my Pi is chinese or UK? i got my 2 Pi's from RPi official retailers at day one.

Ok, now I know I have CHINA rpi, as when I was in hurry home with RPI - but no any SD Card, I bought the first 16GB i found on a Tram station oir what I was passing on the way home. It was quite cheap ADATA class10 16GB. But over time I have to add I will never ever give it out - my core speed 450, RPI running since Feb and during some development it has to resist more than 15 reboots a day, sometimes freeze and just power out/in. Never lost a bit on the card. FS corruption once because of corrupted commit on upstream.

And answer to your question is "most likely no". It was targeted for the new DRAM chips found on new models - not able to boot with ANY sdcard with older firmware. RPI foundation had to reissue firmware\.

if you mean difference between the one for China and made in China and rest thats easy Smile chinese version uses red pcb's and rest of the world green Smile
If you mean the world green version made in China and made in Wales there is not that easy.If you have the first Version 1 with 256mb RAM, than its most likely made in China, where Version 2 512mb RAM they was started the production in Wales UK. Not sure about the newest batches, as they might split the production again between UK and CN, but not sure.
Try to dig in on RPi's website

edit:also i think that there is a silkprint on PCB's "Made in ..."

the CHINA version is not able to stream WORLDS independent News TVS and in movies is doing PIIIP on dirty words.

thks for the info Smile.

I have a B model gen1 (256MiB RAM) and B model gen2... so one is made in China lol. Both have green PCB's.

I was just concern if there were any flaws on the ones made in China, but if there is a China PCB version then i think its not the case.

no it would not be the case.
Only thing what may make a difference is that some of the boards has Samsung SoCs chip an the other uses Hynix. Samsung versions are more stable and go better with overclocking. So you may check which you have
