Hi All, I have an issue with the installation. Doing well until running installation script: sudo ./install-driver.sh As a result I got:

Hi @MaciejStawiar

You said you "went for ./raspi32.sh" but you did not say if your version of RasPiOS is 32 bit or 64 bit. That is something we need to know.

If your RasPiOS is 32 bit then we need to dig deeper for the problem. I haven't been seeing any problems with the 32 bit version of RasPiOS and this driver and this is a high traffic site.

On the other hand, if your RasPiOS is the 64 bit version, we have seen problems that we can't fix as the issues are header problems in RasPiOS so the position that I am taking is that we will look at the problems once the 64 bit version of RasPiOS is no longer in beta. So, for a solid system using this driver right now, please install the 32 bit version of RasPiOS.

Regards,

Nick

Hi, uname shows I have armv7l installed - I found this is 32bit version. Freshly downloaded from an official RPi page: https://www.raspberrypi.org/software/operating-systems/ -> Raspberry Pi OS with desktop

Got it working! Don't know what is the difference - I started from scratch burning an image etc and now it worked. The only difference was I did everything in one shot without rebooting RPi after upgrading packages.

Closing issue since it is solved.
