Wont boot on Pi 3 a+ #256

Closed dotnbot closed 6 months ago

dotnbot commented 6 months ago

I've tested the pi with other OS's and the SD card in other pi's and all works.

When I attempt to boot bmc64 it does 4 long and 7 short flashes.

If I insert the same SD card into a 3b and zero 2w and it boots in both.

3A+ definitely works - in fact, a cottage industry grew up around them:

(I have one, it works extremely well)

Maybe it's something borked in the new batch of 3a+ boards.

Another user has the same problem on lemon64 (BMC64 for Raspberry Pi2/3 (50hz smooth scrolling!) - Page 137 - Commodore 64 - Lemon64 - Commodore 64https://www.lemon64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=70498&start=2040).

I've sent the board back and I'll try a new one.

@dotnbot wish I'd caught you earlier, this may indeed be a software issue.

I believe the issue is that the newer 3A+ models (manufacturered in 2022 onward) require a newer set of support libraries from the Raspberry Pi Foundation.

Indeed...duplicate of this issue:

Oops. I didn't look in the closed issues. Thanks for the link. New pi arrives from amazon tomorrow 🙂

New pi arrived and it's the 2018 version so works fine. Maybe worth putting a note on the main website until the issue with the 2022 version of the board is resolved. Thanks
