Does Sound work at all? In AHI Prefs you can start a "test sound"

Hi,

This one flew under the radar for me

We have a say narrator device added about 3 weeks ago, been trying on the Pi but I cannot get it to work. Anyone else had any success?

Instructions on building 64-bit Raspberry Pi AROS and cross-compiler from sources.

You will need:
- Ubuntu 24.04 or 26.04
- qemu-system-aarch64 installed
- Internet connection
- rpi-scripts.tar.gz downloaded (https://axrt.org/download/aros/rpi/rpi-scripts.tar.gz)

1) Install prerequisites:

sudo apt install git gcc g++ make gawk bison flex bzip2 netpbm autoconf automake libc6-dev liblzo2-dev libpng-dev gcc-multilib byacc python3-mako cmake yasm curl nasm

2) Clone sources

cd <project-directory>
git clone https://github.com/aros-development-team/AROS.git --recurse-submodules

3) Extract rpi-scripts.tar.gz. Copy all files into your project directory so that you have:

AROS (the directory with cloned sources)
fix-dotdot.py
rebuild.sh
recreate-sdcard.sh
run-qemu.sh
update-sdcard.sh

4) Run ./rebuild.sh. Select option 1) toolchain-core-aarch64

This will execute process of building a cross-compiler. During this process packages will be downloaded from Internet. This process can take up to 2 hours. If there are some missing dependencies, install them with 'sudo apt install' and restart this step.

5) Run ./rebuild.sh again. Select option 2) core-raspi-aarch64

This will build system files for 64-bit Raspberry Pi AROS. This process can take around an hour.

6) Run ./recreate-sdcard.sh

This will create an sdcard.img file with contents of previous step.

7) Run ./run-qemu.sh

This will start QEMU with SD card image and ROM images. It will boot into AROS.

With latest NB my network is stable. You can't just select run during system boot.

Let me show you the new look of my Raspberry Pi 3B+. I'm also reporting that the touchpad is working properly

So not saved immedately after hitting 'save' in network prefs? Can you save other prefs (e.g. locale?) I'm just wondering if there's something about your SD card which is stopping data being saved to it.

Cheers,

Very odd. After savng the network prefs, have a look in sys:prefs/envarc/sys/wireless.prefs to see if the wifi data you are setting is being written there. Then, assuming the information has been written, re-boot and see if it's still there.

Cheers,
Nigel.

@amigamia - Is there a specific sequence to get the network running over Wi-Fi? I keep getting issues. I managed to make it work 2 out of 10 times and when I reboot, I have to fiddle with the Wireless manager and network configs.

Here is my process:

1. I change the net0 interface driver to bwfm.device
2. I add my access point ID + Pass phrase and WPA
3. Wireless manager comes up sometimes after step 1 and other times after step 2
4. After step 2, if I re-enter the same pass phrase for the correct access point ID, I get an IP and I can ping google.com
5. If I reboot, I am back to no IP address via DHCP
6. if manage to bring up the wireless manager and then set "start network on reboot" it won't save and it gives an error.
7. Also why does Wireless manager not have a close option? When I am good to go, this thing just floats on the screen and can't get rid of i unless I reboot.

Is there a simpler way to setting up Wi-Fi on AROS? I recount the same but to a lesser extent on AROS on Intel.

It's a frustrating experience that no one should go through and honestly a deterrant to new users.

I've just tried with my Pi zero 2W (haven't touched this for a week due to x64 testing). It looks like there is a bug with setting network prefs to start network on boot, it does indeed loose all the settings. If you don't set to start at boot, settings are preserved. Instead, add this to the user-startup:

Code Download source

execute sys:system/network/arostcp/s/startnet

run wirelessmanager device=bwfm.device >nil:

Network will start automatically on boot. If you don't want the wirelessmanager icon on Wanderer, just add 'nogui' to the wirelessmanager line.

Cheers,
Nigel.

You're right, there's a problem with the Wi-Fi. When I managed to ping my router and then arosworld.org, I immediately wrote the above comment, but after restarting, it turned out that the connection data hadn't been saved. I downloaded aircos from the contrib package and tried to use it, but despite repeated attempts, the Wi-Fi stopped working.
Wi-Fi support still requires some work.

With latest build from 17.08.26 my Raspberry Pi 3B+ recognizes my Raspberry Pi Keyboard and works with it properly. I have stable ping outside my home network

Thank you!!!!

Confirmed not working for Audio/Video/Network

I stopped at testing KB and Mouse. I haven't tried the rest (Audio, Video, Network) because I was warned it isn't ready yet. Plus, it has been a busy week but I plan on building up a new SD-Card for the 400 and just kick it to see what rolls.

Just tested successfully working KB and Mouse on a 3B as well as a RPi 400. More news to come soon...

Does RPi 400 work?

USB mouse, keyboard and memory stcks are now working on Pi zero 2W :-). Mouse and keyboard need to be conected at startup via a hub but memory sticks can be connected after boot. There are still some issues with removing and reconnecting though; sometimes the devices are recognised, sometimes not. However, it's great to be able to use the system.

Wifi is working for me; I connected through IPv4, DHCP for all settings. Connection is WPA encrypted. Ping works, although a bit slow (about 70 ms per ping compared to a few ms for my laptops).

I can change screen resolutios, although if I drag the screen down is goes black for a moment at the start and end of the drag.

Looking forward to doing further tests :-)

Cheers,
Nigel.

P.S. This is using 64 bit system.

Hi,

Nice, thanks everyone.

regards usblan78xx on Pi3b

Pis 2 and 3 used the SMSC LAN9514 chip
Pi 3 B+ uses a Microchip LAN7515 chip

Could this be an issue?

FYI Contrib is now up http://www.aros.o...htly1.html
