Setting Default to 14 no copo the BBC B hangs

[bteamfox]

Using Gecko Version Fix1 Stable. Every thing works great but I would like to set the default Co pro to be off. I can type

FX151,230,14 then ctrl-break but I would rather it be off on boot and type FX151,230,0 to enable it.

default cmdline.txt = copro=0 copro1_speed=3 copro3_speed=4 tube_delay=0 elk_mode=0

changed to = copro=14 copro1_speed=3 copro3_speed=4 tube_delay=0 elk_mode=0

tried = copro=14

Option 14 cause the BBC B to hang on boot with a flashing cursor. Anyone know how or if option 14 is possible on boot?

Thanks.

This is a known issue.

It happens because the Beeb now boots faster than the Pi.

This didn't used to be the case, but more recent version of PiTubeDirect use more recent firmware blobs from the Pi Foundation, and these are slower to boot, because they check more boot devices.

There is a work-around here which involves adding a resistor to the level shifter: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=208474#p208474

I'm going to close this issue, because no software fix is possible.

We could add a pull down for this pin in the config.txt file which may help?

If you could tell me what to add to the config.txt file I can go try it now.

At the top of config.txt try : gpio=8=pd …

This works sort of. When you first switch on you get the flashing cursor, but if you Break or ctrl - break it comes on. If you switch off for a short time 3 seconds then on, it boot with with no copro.

so at least this is usable thank you.

I had also previously tried gpio=8=pd and found it didn't help.
