RPi1 + 4dpi-32 v1.x

[sonium]

Hi, I'm desperatly trying to getting RPi1 + 4dpi-32 v1.x with the latest Raspbian to work.

It seems like 4dpi-3x_4-1-10_v1.0.tar.gz from the product site is outdated since it does not boot (headless setup, I don't get a ssh connection after applying the archive) using the latest Raspbian.

Hi sonium,

Good Day.

You can follow this instruction for your 4DPi-32 v1.x to boot

Installing Kernel package to rPi

1. Download the latest rpi jessie image from raspberrypi.org
2. Put the image on the micro SD Card
3. Put the micro Sd card on the Rpi and power on.
4. Use network adaptor and connect the rPi to a router to access the internet
5. Update and upgrade your rpi.
6. When finished the update and upgrade. Reboot the rpi.
7. After booting and internet connection is established, download the 4DPi hats kernel package.

wget http://www.4dsystems.com.au/download...-9_v1.0.tar.gz

8. When download complete, untar the file

sudo tar -xzvf 4d-hats_4-4-9_v1.0.tar.gz -C /

9. On rPi1, you will need to edit the config.txt

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

10. Find the line,

#uncomment if running on RPi2
kernel=kernel7_hat.img

#uncomment if running on RPi1
#kernel=kernel_hat.img

11. Comment the line kernel=kernel7_hat.img, make it #kernel=kernel7_hat.img
12. Uncomment the line #kernel=kernel_hat.img, make it kernel=kernel_hat.img it should look like the one below,

#uncomment if running on RPi2
#kernel=kernel7_hat.img

#uncomment if running on RPi1
kernel=kernel_hat.img

13. Also, find and uncomment the line #dtoverlay=4dpi-32

# uncomment one of the ovrlays if loading from EEPROM is not supported
dtoverlay=4dpi-32
#dtoverlay=4dpi-35
#dtoverlay=24-hat
#dtoverlay=32-hat
#dtoverlay=35-hat

14. Save the file.
15. You need to rename the file 4dpi-32.dtb to 4dpi-32.dtbo

On SSH,

sudo mv /boot./overlays/4dpi-32.dtb /boot/overlays/4dpi-32.dtbo
sudo reboot

16. Finally, shutdown the rpi and put the 4DPi hats on it.

BR,

Ferdinand
