Moitessier HAT 2 roadmap

[craig]

Hi,

I am possibly repeating other posts, but i downloaded and tried both the NOOBS and the IMG with Moitessier HAT and installed on a pi3B+ with Moitessier HAT v1. The image and NOOBS starts to run, but once partition resizing takes place and the unit reboots, it goes into a boot loop and never starts.

The 2020-01-13 image isn't starting for me. I tried two different SD cards to see if it was something to do with the card, but I had pulled the card out of the unit running OPv1 and it was working OK on the old version.

I will try the starter image without the HAT integration setup, but wanted to check if I was doing something wrong or if this is a known issue?

Thanks

Hi Craig

As per previous post it could be that you have same problem I had.  I was using HAT1 with Rpi3 and Rpi4 and new Moitessier 2 image would not boot out of the box.   Initially I thought it was the HDMI problem but it later turned out to be SPI. 

Try detaching the HAT first and then booting from the image.  If it starts normally follow the steps suggested by sailog on the thread above.   Cheers

I installed the starter version, then installed the Moitessier App, it showed that SPI wasn't enabled. As soon as I enabled SPI the Pi hung without recovery, only power off to reboot worked. The Moitessier app downloads the drivers, but the install button is greyed out.

The driver for kernel version shows available, but I cannot install it. When I download the driver directly from Rocco, the deb file installs, but not via the app. The Moitessier app says the driver isn't for my kernel version, but it was the same file that the app showed that I downloaded and manually ran.

When the Pi reboots after the deb install, no other apps can be installed, it said I needed to install the i2c app. To fix this, I needed to run dpkg -a for the install to get it to flash the firmware on the HAT, but the flash failed saying the HAT was in use.
