Hi,
I realise that this strictly speaking an mt32-pi issue and not an mt32-pi-midi-hat issue, but I have run into this problem having started to build this excellent midi-hat today. Apologies for raising this here as I can't find any way of raising it on dwhinham's repository as it's locked out to collaborators only.
I have bought 2 fresh Raspberry Pi 3A+ from ThePiHut and my PCBs have finally arrived from JLCPCB.
I was not able to boot the Pi 3A+ boards with the latest few releases of mt32-pi (e.g. mt32-pi-0.13.1.zip from the releases list of dwhinham's repository). It just sits and blinks 4 long green flashes then 7 short green flashes.
I did eventually get one of his kernel-hdmi releases onto a pi4 board I have and it boots without an issue and I can see the display on my ssd1306.
I eventually tracked it down to start_cd.elf in the mt32-pi-0.13.1.zip distribution. I have replaced this with the official raspbery-pi firmware-master version and now it boots ok my Pi 3A+ boards as well, everything works so far.
Maybe something has been updated on the most recent Pi 3A+ boards supplied to ThePiHut which causes this incompatibility?
