Hi rlsten & hondagx35,
I got a Pi 3B+ last weekend, I thought it was a defective board, nearly sent it back because none of my software would boot on it. Finally, I got the board to boot with the latest KODI LibreELEC distribution (LibreELEC-RPi2.arm-8.2.4). This is a good way to test the hardware. Yesterday I tried to get a Rune image to work. This was based on my upgraded RuneAudio_rpi2_rp3_0.4-beta_20160321_2GB version, not Franks latest 0.4 version. I used this version only because I know it better than the latest one from Frank. So, what did I learn:
1. None of the existing Rune images will work on the new Pi 3B+.
2. An upgraded image should be able to work on the Pi 2B, 3B and 3B+.
3. To get it to work the packages raspberrypi-firmware and raspberrypi-bootloader need to be upgraded to at least 4.14.26. These are generally only updated in combination with the kernel.
4. Suggested upgrade command:- Code: Select all
pacman -Syy --force raspberrypi-firmware raspberrypi-bootloader linux-raspberrypi linux-firmware cifs-utils
I then ran into some problems, these could well be related to the version of Rune which I used. But I will document them for anyone else who wants to try. Bottom line is that I do not have a working image.
When I have time, I will try to repeat my actions with Franks latest version.
