I've started seeing this apparent error when using rpi-update commit-id to revert to an older version of the raspbian kernel.

I didn't see this issue. Do you have eny environment variables set that rpi-updates uses? Do you get this every time? What was in /boot/.firmware_revision Do you still get the issue if that file is removed?

I was running a Pi B+ with kernel 4.9.30+ #1001 and then ran sudo rpi-update 7c75bc049eef5c351a23919f65060b0e1a4a2181 to revert to kernel 4.0.5 #797 to check a wifi driver when I first saw this issue.

I then ran sudo rpi-update 2344e11340a8a26dbb68f2356845b13e68655233 and saw it again.

Then ran sudo rpi-update 9037cc8c8af19134d821fc06e27b10be2ad98a61 and saw it again.

However, just ran sudo rpi-update 771a503cfc2a1130e2df2a4ddfc45ffa0f592b3f and the issue disappeared.

Weird.

The error message comes from curl and means it couldn't write to the output device. The simplest explanation is sdcard full, but I suspect it is something else.

It can come from piping output of curl to another process that exits before curl has finished. I only see one case where that may happen, but it isn't going wrong for me. Can you try running this a number of times and report if it gives the error?

curl -Ls https://api.github.com/repos/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commits/master | awk '{ if ($1 == "\"sha\":") { print substr($2, 2, 40); exit 0 } }'

Try a dozen or so times and it just returns the latest hexxeh rpi-firmware commit-id 684be4bc8cc343f60fdc3240c6d55d41d0a5b56c

My SD card is 64Gb and only about 9% used so plenty of room.

Just tried the previous commands that gave the original error sudo rpi-update 6d25078b7cb361052ae280d552561d7250d33f5b

and got

and it re-appeared. Rebooted the Pi and tried again and it appeared again.

Rather weird, however it doesn't appear to cause problems updating the firmware.

Just tried sudo rpi-update 2f2b1e7e69fdd33b4ca2394b40858b4aabff2494 and the issue disappeared.

I'm just guessing but I've pushed a change to rpi-update. Any different?

MrEngman commented 7 years ago

Looks like you've fixed the issue. Tried a number of different commits that gave the error before and no sign of it now. Thanks.

popcornmix commented 7 years ago

I'll close for now. Feel free to re-open if the problems reoccurs.
