If there is a jtag header installed we likely upgraded it to the latest code. Ymmv the new code is only needed for Geneve Roger that. Just checked and no jtag header, so likely old code. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoodland Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I have an issue with my TIPI PEB upgrading to 1.44. My other two TIPI's upgraded with no issues but when I upgraded the TIPI PEB, it looked normal with the UPDATING clocking on the CALL TIPI screen. I walked away and when I came back the screen was blank and the system would not respond to hitting a key. I restarted the system and tried CALL TIPI but it does not respond. I am able to ping it on the network and SSH login. What steps should I take to troubleshoot and can I recover? Thank you in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twoodland Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Thank you arcadeshopper, I followed the instructions. cd /home/tipi/tipi/setup sudo ./upgrade --upgrade line 2 did not work for me. I changed it to "sudo ./upgrade.sh -- upgrade" and it responded with "Current Version: 1.44 Latest Version: 1.44 fatal: unable to write a new index file" What should I do now?

+9640News Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Matt, With respect to PDF rendering, would there be much of a significant difference in time rendering a print job to a PDF with a RPI 3+ versus a 4 on a large document? I think I saw a note where you indicate speed difference to be expected with a Zero versus a 3+. Just did not know if there is a significant enough performance increase with a 4 with maximum memory to warrant switching out the 3+ since I have a 4 on hand as well.

Beery - yes it's faster and has more resources so it will pdf faster.. how much faster.. no idea - you'll need the latest sdcard image on the 4.. as it requires the newer version of the os.. the new version works on both but not viceversa Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dhe Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 TIPI Setup PDF is a great resource. Could some kind soul, post a picture of their TIPI's with their PI's connected. The orientation is a little hard for me to picture from the docs, and it sounds like you can definitely plug the cable in wrong, with poor results.

Omega-TI Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just now, arcadeshopper said: No reason to I never remove the card I never have either, but someday the card might fail, or I'll want to experiment, so this seems a WHOLE LOT EASIER than pulling the P-Box out, opening the top, removing the card. trying to get the SC card out with the P-Box card and RPi so close together, then having to go through all that fuss to put it all back together again. I could snake this out the back and use a command strip to attach the SD card end to the P-Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dhe Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Given the header, something like purple wire up and closest to the console, black wire up and farthest away from the console. Once I know I have it properly connected, I'll probably take a silver sharpy and on the end facing up, slather it silver. I had to do that on my Myarc disk controller cables also, because for me, if it can be plugged in wrong, I probably will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
