Newest commits do not work on Debian Jessie #33

Closed Tilogorn closed 2 years ago

Tilogorn commented 6 years ago

As we pulled and make'd the latest commits yesterday on out up-to-date Debian Jessie PC, suddenly CM3-Modules couldn't be mounted anymore. After upgrading to Debian Stretch, everything worked fine again.

sudo ./rpiboot tried to send the bootcode three times and failed in an error at third time (smth. like "Answer was too short") after about a minute. Unfortunately we didn't save the output before upgrading to Stretch.

Last working commit on Debian Jessie (Apr 5, 2018): c3ee230ef4a8f247b7b7d406e59beec8c895de60

First commit where error occurs (Apr 12, 2018) 1bb4c2da4775329bcf5811616fc8f0ce78ee2121

If it is still interesting to support Debian Jessie, it should be easily reproducable on a machine with Debian Jessie and current updates.

There's no support for Linux releases older than Raspberry Pi OS Buster (Legacy) so closing.

Hurray, only 4 years of ignoring a problem and then saying: "it's too old, closing". This is not what I was expecting treating CM3 customers

I can ignore it for longer

Debian Jesse went out of LTS in June 2020, so if you are still using it you should upgrade as it is certainly a security risk as it would have had not updates in nearly two years. Even Stretch, which followed Jesse, goes out of LTS this year, so upgrading to a much more recent version would be strongly advised.

@JamesH65 I don't know if you've missed, but the original issue was submitted in May 2018, when Jessie was oldstable

JamesH65 commented 2 years ago

Jesse is no longer supported, you should really be upgrading to a much more recent system, which will have much better security. And will be much better overall.
