webdeck Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) UPDATE - never mind. I thought I had used a zero 2W but it is a zero W which doesn't support a 64 bit OS. I'm trying to upgrade my sidecar TIPI that was running ancient 2.x software to the latest 4.2 release. I burned a new SD card with the 4.2 image, but the Pi Zero 2W refuses to boot and blinks the activity light 7 times, which means no kernel.img found. I downloaded the image a second time and burned it to another SD card and got the same result. If I swap back my old 2.x SD card, everything works again. Am I doing something wrong? Is the download image corrupted? Thanks!

You right, for some reason my post I got 2w there in the text somehow, my mistake. So you can currently only use the most recent bullseye release. 3.17 -- none of the bookworm ones will work, until you get a newer pi itself like a 2w.

+jedimatt42 Posted August 25 Author Share Posted August 25 (edited) A new DSR ROM is available for TIPI over at https://jedimatt42.com/dl#tipi-dsr-sd-card-image-jed-file-and-tools - date code in TIPI Config should show 2024-08-24 - Adds CPU buffer support for routines per the Myarc HFDC Manual 4th edition - https://ftp.whtech.com/datasheets and manuals/Hardware/Myarc/MYARC HFDC Manual 4th edition.pdf - It does NOT implement PABs in CPU memory. - The recommended way to determine if a TIPI board supports CPU buffers is to check the 2nd (version) byte of the DSR rom HEADER ( the one right after >AA ). If it is greater than or equal to >03 then CPU buffers are supported, if not, then they are not. Of course you have to verify you are working with a TIPI board as well. This change has no relationship to the software running on Raspberry PI. Old versions of the PI software should work fine with this updated ROM, and new and future versions of the PI software should work fine without this updated ROM. If you don't know what this is about, you'll have to read the programming section in the Myarc HFDC manual, and you probably don't need this update.

chancemixon Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 (edited) On 8/15/2024 at 10:14 AM, arcadeshopper said: I'd contact the seller, he's always been good about fixing/replacing boards So I did receive the replacement unit from the seller on eBay and it was behaving the same way as the previous unit (the seller let me know the PI on the previous unit was not working), and so I figured I was losing my mind. This is a TIPI 32K by the way. Anyhow, in doing some additional research I came across this page (https://github.com/jgparker/tipi/wiki/Raspberry-PI-hardware) which contained this line of instructions: "Make sure the pins are aligned as the 10 pin connector can be shifted one row forward or backwards on the header." My eyesight is terrible so I thought I had it aligned properly. I hadn't. Once I got it lined up properly everything worked fine. I'm posting this in the spirit of helping someone else who makes/made the same mistake as me. Symptoms: CALL TIPI from TI BASIC lights up the red LED on the TIPI board, then the console hangs. Solution: Ensure that the 10 pin connection from the PI to the TIPI 32K is aligned properly since the connector allows misalignment in either direction.

dybenko Posted October 5 Share Posted October 5 Hi, I'm Roberto from Italy. Two year ago have bought at Arcadeshopper an TIPI PEB and I have played with that for many time. This month it have stop to work (after I've disconnect and reconnect them for using the raspberry in other way). I've tried many time to fix it but without success. When in TI BASIC launch "CALL TIPI" it freeze ! I thought that the problem was the connection cable to the raspberry and so I've test pin to pin the cable and verifiy the correct pin connection scheme. All ok but no change. I've many time changhe slot but no difference. The CRU BASE is the default (no cap) because I've only one disk unit in PEB. If the problem is the TIPI PEB card is possible to fix them ?

KC9SJQ Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Howdy folks, I'm attempting to use a new 32K/TIPI side car, and I'm having a heck of a problem getting it to work at all. The unit is new, purchased from arcadeshopper at this past Portland Retro Gaming Expo. Symptom: From basic, issuing "CALL TIPI" locks the system, with the red light on the tipi illuminated. Research done: https://github.com/jgparker/tipi/wiki/Troubleshooting, "call tipi" fails and locks the system, running the commands in easy bug seem to work properly. I have a keyboard and a display on the pi, it boots properly and I have full access from the command line. Services appear to be up. tail -f ~/log/tipi.log gives me "Physical mode enabled" and "TIPI ready" no other logging Using a multi meter, I verified there is continuity between the pi pins and the pins on the tipi itself. Attempting to start Extended basic seems to lock the system in a similar way. The edge connector on the TI-99/4A was cleaned with a 1UpCard and alcohol I've plugged a speech synth, both directly into the ti99 and on the other side of the tipi. Speech seems to work in Alpiner in both situations. Where can I got from here? Is there any cart that I can load into my FinalGrom that can test the ram expansion? Anything else?

+jedimatt42 Posted October 9 Author Share Posted October 9 3.17 should work on a 4gb SD card. It was built on a 4gb SD card as stated on the download site. You don't have a lot of headroom, but it should have worked. I don't know which type of PI is being used. That can make a difference since the 3.x and up use a kernel module that should automatically recompile for your specific PI on startup as needed.

PeBo Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) 1st, sorry for originally posting this in the development thread...hadn't noticed I had clicked through... I have a a PI3B+ connected to the TIPI PEB CALL TIPI recognizes the TIPI and allowed me to input and save my SSID and PSK. but when I CALL TIPI ("TIPI.NET.TELNET"), I get a "error connecting... press any key" which returns me to the column count selection screen. I've tried searching the forums but not sure how to word it to get meaningful assistance. I've left the CRU at the default. Other PEB installed items are Shiftt838's Speech-Synth adapted card, a SidMaster card, TI RS232, TI Flex-Cable card (duh), 1MB SAMS card, TI disc controller card and 2 internal drives. My network requires no special settings, and I've double and triple checked the SSID and PSK input. It should be noted that the TIPI has been assigned an IP and it appears in the DHCP leases in my router, assigning it a MAC address, so I really don't understand why there is a connection issues to telnet. If anyone can assist with ideas of where/what the issue may be, or point me to where to look in these forums or the Wiki for a solution, I will be forever grateful.

Nightengale Posted October 9 Share Posted October 9 (edited) Come to think of it I noticed I can ssh and putty just fine into tipi, also telnet into thekeep.net and http at 9900 just fine into tipi, but I always got the same symptoms as PeBo when trying telnet localhost 23. Also mapping the tipi to a windows drive no go. Might be my router...
