Rainbow screen #13

Closed squeeeb closed 4 years ago

squeeeb commented 4 years ago

I'm getting a rainbow screen on boot with the newest release. Using a Raspberry pi 3 Model B. I believe I've ruled out the hardware because:

The only thing I haven't done yet is hook up my Roland UM-One via USB - would this prevent the kernel from booting?

Any help would be appreciated, this looks like a great project!

Hey :)

This is normal; there's no video output - the kernel runs 'headless' unless it's compiled in debug mode. If you connect a MIDI device and play some notes, you should see the LED blink when a message is received.

I should probably clarify this in the docs.

Oh...well then 😅

Thanks for the quick response!

No worries! 😄 Enjoy!
